  1. I haven’t watched the 3rd episode yet, but how are they going to Scooby-Doo their way out of having a real supernatural element at this point? The reindeer engaged in a mass suicide at the beginning, and Ghost Travis led Rose Aguineau to the frozen bodies. Hallucinations from the drinking water would just be lame and wouldn’t explain how Rose found the bodies unless she was the one that put them there. I think at this point, after three prior seasons, the biggest swerve to viewers would actually be to have a supernatural explanation. Or at least some sort of sci-fi explanation like that Clark was so distraught over Annie K’s death that he tried to resurrect her from the tissue/DNA of her tongue using the genetic sequencing research they were doing at TSALAL, and what he produced was a horrible Frankenstein’s monster that killed everyone. That’s who he’s referring to when he says “She’s awake” right before they all disappeared.
  2. That’s a good point. It was before everything besides TV. All they had was RAT Net, which stood for Rural Alaskan Television Network.
  3. I spent a summer after graduating UT driving a forklift on a dock at a small fishing town in Alaska. Summer population was about 1000 people, like 300 lived there year-round, 90% of them in a high rise apartment residential building that had been built as an Army barracks during WW2. I obviously didn’t live through 30 days of night or the extreme cold, but this show really captures the dynamic in such a small place where everybody knows everybody’s business and the romantic liaisons intersect all over the place because there’s just not much else to do. The saying was “you don’t lose your girlfriend, you lose your turn.”
  4. It’s posts like these allowing us normal fans a glimpse behind the curtain that allow me to tolerate your terrible takes on the formative comedies of my childhood. Thanks for all you do.
  5. Agreed. “CKB” should be the preferred nomenclature, as befits an SEC message board. ChatGPT, please prepare a reaction to a new coaching hire in the style of Billy Liucci.
  6. Akina has become Ted Turner with less hair.
  7. I tend to agree with this and the assessment of Elko as well. His ceiling is probably RC Slocum level success and that’s probably true for the program as well. But when the Josh Pate’s of the world are out there telling people it’s a “top 4, maybe 3 job in America,” then that’s not good enough for them and hilarity ensues.
  8. You needed that punting job. But they had to give it to a Vegemite-eating player from down under because of an international student quota. Is that really fair?
  9. Bobby is going to be so impressed with the new Surly migrants once we start posting on his new site
  10. Wide right. Buffalo loves the classics.
  11. We’re apparently building a team to get out to big leads early and then have the NASCAR package on the DL to go after the QB when they are forced to pass by necessity. Or maybe with a better secondary we can commit more bodies to the box against the run.
  12. Great thread, just found and catching up. Key classification point is whether the movie depicted the current era while the generation in question was the audience (Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, Fast Times), or whether it came out in a later era and reflected the high school experience of an earlier generation (American Graffiti, Grease, Dazed and Confused). In both situations it speaks to the viewer’s experience, but one is speaking to teens at the time and the latter is playing on nostalgia for older viewers’ younger days. For a GenXer like me, I’d go with Fast Times or Sixteen Candles as personal favorites that I saw while in high school but Breakfast Club is absolutely representative and meaningful for a large set of teens back then. It had some funny lines, but was ultimately too angsty for me to be a favorite.
  13. I’ve been trying to think why that expression is so familiar, and I finally figured it out.
  14. Vic can only buy so many copies. It’s not a sustainable business model.
  15. When Butch Jones was fired at Tennessee, Brady Hoke was named interim coach and apparently lobbied to the AD, John Currie, for the permanent job in text messages that were later obtained in a FOIA request: “JOHN I HOPE YOU DO KNOW I WOULD LIKE TO BE YOUR HEAD FOOTBALL COACH I DO KNOW THE ENVIRONMENT WE LIVE IN AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AT TENNESSEE!” https://saturdaytradition.com/michigan-football/hoke-texts-former-tennessee-ad/ I get that same energy from Akina.
  16. I love the rumor that they sent a repo man out to tow his car the day he entered the portal. This needs to be more widely circulated.
