poorochondriac what do you make of the fact that it appears the only thing justin wilson is adamant about measuring accurately is garlic
is he a friendly dracula
This is an intriguing prospect
Oh, somewhat related - I interviewed for a show today, and when the typical, "What're you watching?" question came up, I was like, "A lot of cajun cooking shows, but mainly one with a million year old mumbler who tells five-minute-long jokes about fishing as he pours Miller Lite into a stock pot." The showrunner was absolutely fucking delighted, I imagine because he has to spend most meetings talking about Watchmen or Succession or whatever, and it was a nice change of pace.

Clearly Watchmen has been pretty great overall, but I think A God Walks Into a Bar is my favorite episode of TV I've seen this year.
"Nostalgia" is in contention for my favorite episode TV ever
That show's only had one episode that I'd consider anything short of "incredible" (the third episode), and even that one was still totally good! Just not mind-blowingly good.

My favorite film is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, so this episode had my number and got me reeling pretty hard. It was legitimately beautiful, and god damnit the show about blue Superman brought a year to my eye.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
Flipping through the channels and Simpsons was on. It was the ending credits so naturally the theme song was playing.
This is nothing strange, as I hear that theme probably at least once a week if not more. Except this time it managed to dislodge a memory from decades past. A horrible memory. That memory was...
FUCK THE MUSEUM LEVEL IN BART VS. THE SPACE MUTANTS ON NES!!!
And a great fit for a prestige cable adaptation. A lot of very cool ways to tackle it.
Wasn't there supposed to be an adaptation of The Yiddish Policeman's Union coming out at some point? That's the one I'm really interested in, but it seems to have dropped off the radar.
Isn't Spotify just Pandora but shackled to Facebook?
Nnno
Pandora is radio stations that you can influence but have no direct control over outside of skipping songs, although it has been years since I have used it so they may have changed.
Spotify is an on-demand music service that lets you play specific albums and songs and make your own playlists.
20 Blu-Ray disks of the entire series plus Fire Walk With Me, and a bonus 4K disk of the pilot and episode 8 of The Return
it's in this ridiculous box that folds out into a Red Room set complete with a acrylic cutout figure of Cooper and Laura Palmer and it was an expensive limited edition where this is basically the only show where I will justify the indulgence
it even came with a "Certificate of "yticitnehtuA so what I'm saying is time to die now
The episode in question is actually called hard time.
Miles is convicted wrongly of espionage and is sentenced to have memories implanted of serving a 20 year prison sentence where
he kills his cell mate for food.
It throws super dark even for ds9, the acting (particularly colm meany and Alexander siddig at the end) and story are great but it is a very depressing episode.
Actually I give the episode a hard content warning for

It's my favorite overall episode of Trek. Colm Meaney does such a goddamn job on it.
My favorite episodes of ds9 are homefront and paradise lost where there is almost a military coup of the federation government (capital city... Paris?) because of a single founder infiltrating the planet.

It is darkly comical how perfectly Star Trek predicted the way we would respond to 9/11 in the coming years.

I finished my rewatch of the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I, Robot... You, Jane (1.7) Willow's new Internet chat buddy turns out to be a powerful demon electronically unleashed from a centuries-old, newly digitized book.
Nightmares (1.9) A series of strange occurrences lead Buffy and her friends to discover that their worst nightmares have literally become reality.
Prophecy Girl (1.12) Buffy's plan to live a normal life goes awry when the Earth cracks open and an army of demons emerges.
Witch (1.3) Buffy suspects she has a witch on her hands when the cheerleading squad falls victim to sudden blindness and spontaneous combustion.
The Puppet Show (1.8) Buffy suspects that a ventriloquist's dummy may be harvesting organs from classmates performing in a talent show.
Angel (1.6) Buffy discovers Angel's dark secret and hesitates to do anything about it, which could spell danger for someone she loves.
Out of Mind, Out of Sight (1.11) When an invisible menace starts attacking students and faculty at Sunnydale High, the Scooby Gang traces the problem back to Cordelia.
Welcome to the Hellmouth (1.1) When teen vampire slayer Buffy tries to start a new life at Sunnydale High, she discovers that the school sits atop a demonic dimensional portal.
Teacher’s Pet (1.4) Buffy's biology teacher is killed by a giant praying mantis that assumes the form of a beautiful substitute teacher.
The Harvest (1.2) Buffy and her friends encounter a powerful vampire bent on opening a portal to a dimension inhabited by demons.
Never Kill a Boy on the First Date (1.5) With Buffy preoccupied by her date with Owen, Giles is trapped by a group of vampires seeking to raise a powerful leader.
Best Season Moments
#1. -- Buffy's ultra-nightmare of her father shit-talking her to her face.
#2. -- Darla the vampire going full akimbo with two guns against the slayer.
#3. -- Buffy's reaction to learning about her fate as written in the prophecy
Best Quote of the Season Jenny: You think the mystical is limited to ancient texts and relics? That bad old science made the magic go away? The divine exists in cyberspace, same as out here. Giles: Are you a witch? Jenny: I don't have that kind of power. "Techno pagan" is the term.

In retrospect why was anyone surprised to discover Whedon using the term "Hacktivist" in Agents of Shield. "Techno Pagan"... my god.

Oh Wesley
If you listen to the WHM trek podcast theyve added . . . layers to Bones that make him even better
is he a friendly dracula
This is an intriguing prospect
Oh, somewhat related - I interviewed for a show today, and when the typical, "What're you watching?" question came up, I was like, "A lot of cajun cooking shows, but mainly one with a million year old mumbler who tells five-minute-long jokes about fishing as he pours Miller Lite into a stock pot."

So can draculas have like, a certain amount of garlic and they just gotta ride that line?
It's like capsaicin for humans
Aaaaaah so the worst thing for a vampire is to get garlic on their genitals.
Not amazing for humans, either.
Don't kinkshame me.

It's intentionally bad to represent 2019.
Maybe this one will actually materialize

All of which are American dreams!
