Survivor House of Villains

I actually got to meet Mr. Rogers briefly as a child when my mom and I happened upon him on the street one time right when he was about to take off in his limo. It was such a long time ago, I can't honestly remember what he said to me, but he was every bit as cordial and polite to us as he was on his show. That much I remember. Still got his autograph somewhere.

Just got through watching the final season of Star Trek Discovery. Pretty good ending. My only semi-complaint is the last episode felt a bit anti-climactic, but Trek has always been more about the journey than the destination anyway, so I'd say it's actually a very fitting conclusion for the series.

Welp, my vote's in, so can't blame me for the potential upcoming impending apocalypse. At least not this one. BTW, I challenge anyone to listen to what you know who said about Arnold Palmer and be able to honestly say, "Yeah, that guy's presidential material." I thought we had hit the bottom of the barrel with the whole eating cats and dogs thing, but silly me... I forgot. There is no bottom anymore. ::smacks head::

LMAO So mad he can't even hear them telling him the sword's just fine.

So some medicine is what changed him. That's it?! Yeah, I dunno if I'm buying that. I mean, c'mon. Ah well, whatever. It's anime.

Thought he was pissed, but he's actually excited cuz of Nezuko.

She's alive! And human... err. Well, almost. She's still got fangs, and demon-like eyes. Looks like Nezuko's VA's finally getting a pay raise, too.

Backstory flashback. Yep, that's how you know he's dead for sure this time.

Body of demon maybe, but heart of an angel to do something like that. Damn.

Weapon level up. Aw yeah! Time to finish the bastard.

Think of it as a challenge. Can you possibly watch all four episodes in a row without going insane?

And so it begins all over again... Just a neverending nightmare.

Years have passed now? What has the center of the town become like a black hole with some kind time dilation effect going on around it now? Where's Mr. Spock when you need him? Fascinating.

Hah! Yep, I had a feeling those row houses were gonna end up forming a spiral.

You sunk my battleship. LOL

Well, I guess now we know what Tom meant when he said there's no escape.

Butterfly effect my butt! There's no way that can even come close to explaining any of the epic weirdness going on in that town.

I think what a lot of people, particularly in the media, fail to understand is that the clownish bufoonery of the guy is part of what makes him so appealing to a lot of people. How much of it is real and how much of it is an act I'm not totally sure about, but either way the result is the same. It distracts people and redirects their attention away from just how depraved and malevolent the things he says and is promising to do should he get in power again actually are. Same as how a con man does something flashy or showy with one hand so you don't notice how he's slipping the money out of your wallet with the other. Folks that are wise to the trick don't fall for it so easily, but there's a lot more -- let's be frank -- foolish, gullible, and just plain stupid -- people out there that do, and the thing is he clearly knows that quite well and has done a really good job at targeting that segment of the population. Sure, when it comes to being a responsible leader, the guy is inept and clueless as can be, but when it comes to appealing to people's worst instincts and tricking folks into buying his BS, make no mistake he's a pro. It's what the guy has been doing his whole life after all. Also, there's the whole anti-intellectual, anti-expert aspect that the right has embraced that is a part of this in a way I'm really hesitant to bring up, but I honestly believe a lot of his followers would rather have someone like him who's an idiot in charge instead of someone that actually knows what they're doing, because deep down it simply makes them feel better about themselves and their own relative level of intelligence. It's sadly why no matter what he says or does, they're gonna make whatever excuse they have to explain his crap away and stick with him to the end.

Those skull-faced giant soldiers at the end looked like something out of Tim Burton's imagination.

He went to the Rukia school of art.

Did he say...

You are what you eat. LOL

The power of da love... hashira
