That being said, it is shitty that Joss didn’t bring the talent that honed his reputation up to the big leagues with him. Whedon’s words wouldn’t have nearly had the same bite without performers like Marsters, Gellar, and Juliet Landau to speak them. And yet, he couldn’t be bothered to throw the old gang a bone? Name…

IDK if you’ve read any of the comics but canonically speaking, no, they didn’t all die in the final battle. But I’m also not really into comics so I can totally understand considering them non canon haha

Lol yeah, my choice of words (“good” as opposed to “great”) was very deliberate. IMO it’s an entertaining popcorn flick, nothing more. 

The sleepover one definitely sounds up my alley. I’ll have to check that out. Thanks!

Ha, yeah, I guess I should have mentioned some interests. I would say a main interest is storytelling, eg literature, film and television. The only podcast I have listened to extensively is Mugglecast back when I was younger. I listened to all of them until shortly after the 7th HP book came out at which point I moved…

I identify with this comment so much. I think it is absolutely normal.

I too am an introvert and my fiance is an extrovert who is very, I don’t want to say needy because of the negative connotation... idk a good word for it. He just has to always be with people and/or doing something. He doesn’t do idle or alone well.…

kirivinokurjr’s comment could have been written by Robin Williams’ character in Hook.

I have a long commute and I’ve been getting into Podcasts recently. I’m a couple episodes into Buffering the Vampire Slayer and, while I like the girls and get multiple laughs per episode, it’s a little scattered so far. It seems like the two mostly take their independent notes while watching and then just sorta go…

Well, it’s hitting a tipping point now.

Totally agreed. I think Dennis was doomed after the fist bump, I just expected it to be rapid cancer that did him in.

Can we as a group come up with a uniform nickname for Bill Skarsgard? I don’t think the Nic Cage one Dennis and the other guards came up with is clever enough but we need a way to easily identify him. Any ideas?

Wow, I had kinda forgotten about the massacre vision and didn’t make that connection. Though I don’t think cageboy was warning Dennis. If anything I think he may have sort of possessed him or subconsciously coerced him into committing the massacre. There was a lot of emphasis put on the physical contact of their fist…

Yes, absolutely. I really liked Season 2 for the most part and felt that it was an improvement on Season 1 in most ways. I just felt that the dark Charlie storyline was really awkwardly handled and sorta manufactured I guess? It didn’t feel like a natural progression of his character

Haha, The Dark Knight actually came out a month before I left for college. People watched it so many times, we probably should have just had a fucking calendar for which dorm was hosting Dark Knight on that particular evening cause you could bet your ass someone was having people over to watch it every night. 

I rather liked Exposé though I agree with the AV Club reviewers that it probably would have worked better had it been truly standalone rather than clumsily inserting the characters into the few episodes before as a lead up. The first time they appear/get lines was so jarring, like, “Who the fuck are you?” Then it…

I just watched The New Man in Charge yesterday! I thought it was nice that it touched on some of the open-ended mysteries but none of the things it touched on were things I particularly cared about getting answers about, except giving some closure to WAAAAAAAAAALT! which was nice.

Re: Libby, that was definitely my assumption but I wish they had explicitly gone into it more. I don’t always need fiction to connect all the dots for me but it was setup in such a cliffhanger-y way that made it seem like an important development and then it was just sorta left that way. I assume they planned to go…

The two that always get me are The Dark Knight at #4 and Fight Club at #10. I would qualify both of those as good movies but definitely not top 10 of all time. But I’m also kinda biased against The Dark Knight because I was really annoyed by the online outrage when it wasn’t nominated for best picture and the fact…

I agree that it felt like it was building to a Ben Linus-Charles Widmore conflict that never really came but that point brings me to something else I wanted to mention.

One thing I really liked about the series was the ambiguity of good guys and bad guys. I thought the show was great at splitting people up into…
