When It’s Time, It’s Time

February 25, 2008

THIS IS #59. FOR THOSE WISHING TO WEEP UPON #58, GO HERE.
Hopefully, by now those of you living the OnDemand lifestyle have gotten past #58. I hope you have, because #59 was like a zillion times more sad. A lot of it was cliff-hanger-y in nature, setting us up for a monster finale. Since I’ve [...]

It Ain’t No Secret

February 22, 2008

BEWARE NUMBER FIFTY-EIGHT! FLEE!

I know you’re all eagerly awaiting some words on #58. But what the fuck are we supposed to say? A guy who cheated death multiples times per season finally died. His invincibility was central to his role in this program’s cosmology, but as we saw this season, there are limits to how [...]

Tele-PHONY

February 21, 2008

We’re working hard to get some new responses up for #58. Half of us live in the modern world and have access to such things as On-Demand at a reasonable (which is to say not a criminal) price, and so excuses for such as those won’t be profferred, just vague shrugs and mumbles.

Others of us, [...]

Black, Jewish and Poor

February 17, 2008

Comments on this post are closed! Seriously dudes, go for a jog or something! Or put together some Ikea furniture!
Pizzawhale has had too much work these past two weeks and not enough impetus from the season. However, I am roused by deep sadness to hear that Sean Finnegan, Wire crewmember and former drummer for suburban Maryland’s [...]

Only Inmates Run Shit

February 15, 2008

I haven’t been around here much, so perhaps I’ve lost all right to speak on this site. However, I liked the last episode bunches, in large part because of what’s happened with the fake serial killer plot. While for many of you, it’s been the sticking point for this entire season, I think it’s turned [...]

Aura Recognize Aura

February 14, 2008

This week I’m posting a non-topical entry, but Christycash has some commentary on 57 just below, while Shoals is working up something for later today or tomorrow. If you’re coming to us from 56 read on and then look HERE.

A while back I was asked to contribute to an article for Vibe magazine concerning The [...]

TANK TOP TIME

February 12, 2008

OK, OK, So we’re on #57, if you’re still on #56, go here, cause we’ll be spoiling, and you don’t want that, not when things are really cooking.
So this happens every season, right? There’s a few episodes, say between the fourth and the sixth episodes of the season, when all seems lost and tangled and [...]

Daddy Got Hosed

February 6, 2008

First off apologies for our infrequency of late. We don’t intend to be a letdown. I’ll be talking, vaguely, about episode #56, so if you’re not caught up, please point your brain HERE. Otherwise, continue on and get bummed out.

Honestly, I’m not sure how the Slate folks, or anyone else tring to comment thoughtfully on [...]
