Oh, also, best OP in the thread so far. Sorry, MiB and X-Men, scoot over.

35. Peacemaker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVN83R-JwRQ For the first few episodes of Peacemaker, I wasn't sold on it. I had heard from a few friends that the show was good, but as far as I could tell, it was about a bunch of unlikable people being unlikable. So sort of like Seinfeld but with gun...

Firefly is the remaining Whedon show that we have yet to discuss. The thing about hating Whedon (or anyone else who was a shitbag who worked on these shows) is that I feel that hating the work is a disservice to the other, non-shitbag people who worked on them. Whedon didn't write all of Buffy or An...

Seriously, listening to Whedon whine in his interviews about how his hyper-privileged silver spoon upbringing was so tough for him is like the most rage inducing thing ever. Oh no, was your mom kind of a wasp and snarky and it gave you a complex along with all the money and top-tier schooling? That ...

36. Angel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyfuCZmHZrQ A spinoff from Buffy starring everyone's favorite "typical guy who sleeps with you once, and after having gotten what he wants, he turns into a total monster" broody vampire bf, Angel gets pretty much zero points for being breakthrough ...

To be clear, when I say Spike > Angel > Riley, I mean season 7 Spike, post the whole soul-getty-backy thing. All of Buffy's three main love interests suck, but Spike sucks the least. By season 7 he finally loves her without also needing to possess her, a feat the other two never achieve. But yeah he...

37. Buffy the Vampire Slayer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7l9uvRCHek Sigh. DOTA ASIDE: Joss Whedon. Welp, I knew when I started this thread that I was gonna get to this fucker eventually. I will stick to what I said and not make this post about Mr. Entitled Shitfuck, and instead just talk about ...

Happy Birthday Upth! Hope you're having a good one.

yeah BEACUAZE ur a casul

I have strong opinions (good ones) about Unforgiven, and maybe someday I'll give them in my top 100 movie thread, but for now that's outside the scope of this thread. And yeah, something about Westerns has always seemed mythological to me. It's a pretty common thought/feeling in those that love them...

38. Lonesome Dove https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t8MSDh_ICc Lonesome Dove is a 1985 novel by Larry McMurtry. The 1989 miniseries, which aired originally on CBS, is what we will be discussing here. But first, we have to talk about book adaptations. Very rarely, the film is better than the book. I c...

fuck off Niku you made me snort my Zevia and the stevia got in my nose and then I made a noise like a pig this is my punishment for drinking poison yes yes i know

39. Futurama https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaZmZakFQek I'll be straight with you; I haven't seen Futurama from start to finish. I remember watching the Pilot when it aired, and then I watched it when I could over the next few years. But overall, my experience with Futurama is spotty and incomplete...

Does Alberta also have a malfunctioning independent power grid that it turns out is being run badly on purpose to jack up profits

Sometimes I'll notice a birthday from a poster who doesn't post anymore and hasn't for years (or even over a decade) and it feels like a ghost haunting the forums. Old memories come seeping back in through the cracks. I wonder sometimes if there are old members who are still around every once in awh...

Black voters turn out at comparable rates to white voters despite the constant and active efforts to disenfranchise them. And they vote overwhelmingly Democratic. Are they better-represented in government than I am? Do they not know the stakes? Or do they turn out and vote Democratic because they d...

I am very sorry for not voting in 2004 even though Thad told me to. I was a 23 year old edgelord who believed my vote didn't matter at all, and furthermore I had swallowed the propaganda that both sides were corrupt and awful. Mostly. Even back then I knew the Dems were not as bad, but critically wh...

RANK UP! TIER AWESOME 40. Fallout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJjIf7nwx6U I came to this show as a complete and utter Fallout virgin, I've never played the games even for one second. Well, I guess as close to a virgin as you could reasonably get, (living as a nerd at least) because I did know a ...

This reminds me of the whole "destroying ki**fa*** won't stop them, they'll just gather somewhere else" that people believe. It turns out that blowing up gathering spaces for fascists and psychos actually does work. Tl;dr: moderation to remove bad actors and the places where bad actors gat...

Heartwrenching. Love Sally Fields by the way, absolutely gorgeous human being inside and out. Insane that we now live in a world where these things are happening to us again.
