You're a little late to the party, Tommy… By about 3 months. On top of that, you've said nothing of substance about the actual subject, Halt and Catch Fire: "The Way In". All you've done is mindlessly insulted me after the fact. You do realize Park Slope Punxy here was trolling, right? Hey, but go ahead and side with…

I didn't think it was revolutionary. I did think it was relevant, except that last line. Many things are less fun than other things but being dead is the absence of everything. That's the part of teenage angst that escaped me: False Drama. I still don't understand people who are overdramatic.

Nailed it. I was wondering if that moment and those statements meant as much to anyone else…and if anyone here would repeat those words in your quote. I didn't have depression issues but that spoke to me at the time. Thank you.

The beauty of Pump Up The Volume was it's "see the world as it truly was and say it out loud" profoundness. Slater's character took a subject and looked at it from the most common interpretation and then analyzed deeper, cutting to the heart and truth of the it. He took all of the bullshit stereotypes and cliques,…

"However, it is becoming tiresome to see Cameron explode for one reason or another and then regret it later rather than learn from her mistakes." - IGN Review

"Joe started out this season up to his old tricks, but his realization that the Joe MacMillan way brings only destruction has led to a sincere desire to change—even if he’s still pulling people’s strings in the process."

Anyone who sees the confederate flag as anything other than a symbol of racism, slavery, unreasonable sedition, treason, and secession is delusional. It is not in any way a symbol of southern pride or should be meant to memorialize fallen soldiers like many that try to use that pathetic excuse as some sort of reason…

All this show inspires me to do is change the channel. I've watched Halt and Catch Fire from the pilot episode. I want to care but I don't. The more I watch, the less I give a shit. The characters, the plot, the setting… It's all a big cliched joke. It's trash. The show is so formulaic and predictable that it's…

"Thanks, Trent, for inspiring so many people to be assholes about their sadness that they, in turn, inspired me to stay as happy as possible at all times."

I'm a pretty big fan. I've played and beaten MGS 1-4 numerous times. I beat MGS 4 to death and collected every possible item and weapon by playing through like 7 or 8 times. I achieved every completion rank possible that the game provides. My fastest time to beat it was like 4 hours and 12ish minutes with zero kills.…

Okay. You're a troll. Got it. You got me. I guess the fourth time's the charm for you. It really didn't have to be this way. I didn't start this fight. You did. I didn't escalate in my responses. You did. I may not have started it, but I know exactly how I'm going to finish it. You've earned it.

No. Not verbatim. You don't know how what you've stated is reframing and insulting? LOL! You are delusional. I want Cameron to be human, intelligent, strong willed, and someone who when they falter at times knows to learn from their mistakes. Not some superhuman "ubermenschette" as you put it. How is you taking my…

Way to reframe my comments as something completely out of context with the true message of my statements. Your perception of what I said is blown so out of proportion to the truth of what I actually said. Why do you feel the need to be insulting? I'm only expressing an opinion. Your opinion is different. So what? Both…

Agreed. Same for me. It literally put me to sleep. Not the effect that I expected, to say the least. lol I remember people calling it liquid cocaine and it tasting sweeter than even Pepsi. It definitely didn't live up to the hype.

Note that I never said I wanted her to be the perpetually kick-ass rebel but Cameron's development doesn't have to consist of being the girl who perpetually makes bad decisions and falls apart at every setback without learning from her mistakes either. Beyond that, see my first reply to Pixie Solanas on this thread…

Maybe you didn't read this portion of my comment.

Nuanced? What's nuanced about it? Nuance is not the same as going from one extreme to the other end of the spectrum. Nuance is subtle. And what is reductive or troperiffic about wanting her to remain a strong, intelligent person who deals with difficulty without turning into the true prototypical trope of the female…

Anybody remember JOLT Cola!?!? "All the sugar and twice the caffeine!" It kept most people awake, alert, or hyper. It was like one of the first energy drinks before the concept of an "energy drink" was thought of.

Thanks for the heads up in sentence #1. You're right about it being '85. Reviewed the first episode real quick to verify. Somehow, I missed the time jump when I watched it or had forgotten since then. As for sentence #2… Look, I get your message and don't necessarily object but I don't think you got mine. Cameron…

I know that Halt and Catch Fire is just a TV show but I thought the chronological setting was still the early '80's? Gordon in his argument with Cameron exclaimed, "This is more like Nightmare on Nerd Street," which is a reference to, of course, the film A Nightmare on Elm Street. This tells me the year is, or better…
