I thought the fat Mac season was pretty terrible.

I preferred Stone to McCoy too. Claire's death would have been a perfect series finale. That or Logan punching the city counceller.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia had a major uptick in quality this past season. Surprised that didn't get a mention.

The Vikings had the best names. Sven Forkbeard, Ivar the Boneless, Harold Bluetooth.

Watching right now, this is incredibly boring.

To be fair, white people are a majority of the country, so yes, universal recognition level does have to include most white people.

Yeah but the point is the original movie is about humanity destroying itself, not the technical aspects of how the apes can plausibly win a war.

I know the original movie series eventually showed the apes revolting against the humans, but I prefer the original movie's suggestion that the apes only took over after a nuclear war. I don't care what super serum you give them, apes conquering humanity via street fighting is just too stupid.

The problem isn't the revision, it's that they all get revised into the same thing. I'm all for new takes on old material, but I want genuinely new takes, not the same old crap with a couple of recognizable names tacked on.

That's the big problem. Now every fairy tale has to end with a giant Lord of the Rings style battle. It's terrible.

Some of the "this is a good way to prepare this dish" shows are OK but I agree, I see no appeal in watching other people eat, or compete to make bizarre foods I will never make or eat myself.

Authenticity is by far the most overrated virtue. Oftentimes it's not even a virtue at all.

Mumford and Pilots.

His Lincoln joke was funny.

Totally agree, if only because I can't stand Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco.

I find this obsession with continuity baffling.

That's how I started reading comics, by picking up random back issues and piecing together the history almost at random. I loved that part of finally understanding some random reference that I didn't understand when I first encountered it. The complicated backstory was a draw, not a turnoff for me, though I can…

OK, but then it would be more accurate to call his stuff uneven then right?

I'm afraid to re-read those mid 90's stories precisely because I liked them at the time but don't believe at all that they'd hold up today. I'm thinking that first Omega Red story and Executioner's Song specifically. The late 90's stuff was impossible to like even at the time.

You keep saying the artwork on these titles is gorgeous, but none of the panels you display in this post looks very good.
