season 2 ep 1

Oh dear! Usually my sympathies are with the bike people — I’m not one, they frighten me when they ride on the sidewalk (MY DOMAIN!), but nevertheless and nonetheless they are not car people and are thus uneasy allies against the common enemy of all peoples (a second Permian–Triassic extinction!) — but in this case it sounds like he was very much in the wrong. I’m sorry this happened to you!

Wow! Cool shirts and socks!

A happy Independence Day to all who celebrate and bienvenue au Canada to all immigrants — although, uh, the rot is kind of here as well, I don’t think we’ll really escape the fate of our neighbours, still probably the best of all available options to those who can take it — and, I don’t know, G-d save the Queen King!?!? What!?!? Have you heard about this? She died!!!1!

I thought I didn’t have any opinions on this guy but I checked my notebook and it turns out ... I did!?!?

I’ve been mulling this over and over in my mind — much like Russell Crowe’s, it’s a beaut! — because the takes just keep on coming re: this thing. The world wonders! Here’s what I’ve arrived at: I feel like a bunch of people sinking themselves by the Titanic is just innately funny. Doesn’t matter who it happens to. There could have been among the dead an innocent babe who has not yet known the breath of sin upon its naked nape — there kind of was; nineteen years old is awful young + of course, everyone who ever lived was once a baby, was once loved — and it’d still have been funny. A bunch of people sunk themselves by the Titanic! It’d be like if somebody, anybody, got shot at Ford’s Theatre. Oh no!!!1 Not again!!!1! It’s so funny that it’s almost hack. The Almighty’s packet needs a little work!!!1!? Just a few days ago Robert Smigel commented on that big list of half-jokes on the whiteboard that the Workaholics (‘11-’17) writers declared verboten, unusable, because the stuff was so clichéd. He said that when they were starting on Late Night with Conan O’Brien (‘93-’09) they tried to avoid the obvious stuff too. Pirates, aliens, Lincoln. But I kind of feel like Lincoln is one of Conan’s go-to’s. I don’t think they could keep away from it! The obvious stuff only became obvious BECAUSE it’s so funny! My point is that I think as G-d has settled into Himself as a comedic force He has maybe decided that it’s okay to indulge Himself now and again. Really let loose. Don’t second guess things. Be unafraid of repetition. Whatever next? RFK Jr. gunned down in a hotel kitchen? Planes flown into One World Trade Center on a cold September morn? Is Mr. Hitler going to start another war?

I hope they’re all okay!!!!!!!!1!

I hadn’t seen that third one — looks a little Frank Nelson-y! definite this guy vibes! — but my favourite is this one:

Number 1 With A Bullet X-Men (‘92-’97) Don’t really see how it much makes sense to rank anything else above the animated show. Kind of unbeatable. The theme song alone!!!!1! Numbers 2-5 X-Men (200), X2 (2003), X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) I endorse all the works of Bryan Singer and all extracurricular activities undertaken by Bryan Singer no matter how criminal or harmful to person or persons!!!!!1! Number 6 X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) I just really like the bit where Ian McKellen gives a look to the woman in the car who locks her door when she sees him coming. Oh, and Kelsey Grammer Beast. Of course. Numbers 7-8 The Wolverine (2014) & Logan (2017) James Mangold made a kind of bad Wolverine movie when he slavishly imitated bad movies and then made a kind of good Wolverine movie when he slavishly imitated good movies. I feel like I’ve made that exact point before but, y’know, whatever, it’s not like nobody can’t dig up the original threads on all these movies if they’re so inclined. Number 9 Mutant X (‘01-’04) okay i am bored now forget it

Beautiful pictures!

Terrible news! Titus Pullo in Rome (‘05-’07) — “XIII!” obviously but also sold the quieter stuff so so well, his conversation w/Lucius Vorenus about what stars are —, that pilot for the zombie show, Lexi Alexander Punisher, Volstagg, the baddy on that season of Dexter (‘06-’13, ‘21-’22), I still haven’t seen Black Sails (‘14-’17) but I hear it’s great and apparently he was Blackbeard on it guess I gotta give it a watch. Such a great actor!

Still haven’t seen the Obi-Wan Kenobi show. Haven’t seen the latest season of The Mʌndʌloriʌn. Haven’t watched the new show. That show everyone loves! Everybody’s out there banging their pots and pans for that show but I get the feeling these same people also liked Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) and in general the things these people bang their pots and pans for don’t always meet with my approval. I’m going to wait this one out. I’m going to see if Season 2 gets their pots and pans (fat chance!) or if they turn on it. If it ends up that The New Star Wars Show is Actually Good I’ll happily chalk one up in the official standings as a loss for me. I’ll have missed out! For years! That’ll be on me. That’ll be my cross to bear. But I had to watch this stuff! Couldn’t put it off! Couldn’t delay! I hope they keep making these. Can’t get enough of them. Bring on Season 3!

I’m not. But could be!!!!1!
