  • I really hope that last post

    gains the attention of the editors around here.

  • Editors

    Having reviewed a portion of his archive, I posted them privately. His fixation is not healthy. E-Stalker.

  • A little experiment

    Tom, have you ever gone back and read a lot of your letters in one sitting? Try it; Salon's thoughtfully archived them. We'll wait.

    ****

    Took hours, didn't it? Even once you started skimming the repetitive bits? Now go and read everything you've written in your toon blog.

    ****

    That took, what, five minutes?

    You can call us koolaid-drinking zombies all you like, but that doesn't erase the fact that you're the one coming back here week after week, expending god knows how much time and energy, while your own website sits vacant and stale. Is that really how you want to be remembered? "The guy who really really really hated the Salon TV reviewer"?

    Even moths eventually fly away from their lightbulb.

    Fly away, little moth.

  • "Bum" Reference

    Don Jr. did say that the homeless person in the commercial would likely "alienate half your demographic" or words to that effect. Check your Tivo, Heather.

  • RevMom, TRT

    Donald, Jr. did not say that until Sunday night's finale -- which aired AFTER the article was posted.

    And to all re: TRT:

    "love is statistically false"

    That just about sums him up. IGNORE.

  • Never give up. Never surrender.

    Never tolerate deliberate incompetence. Never let a hater get away with it. In brightest day, in blackest night...well, you get the idea.

    As it is, your responses to me have added more commentary letters to this mediocre Havrilesky column than the column itself deserved. You sure aren't talking about her writing: it isn't worth talking about. Who are the moths and who is the lightbulb? (A high-efficiency CF bulb, may I add.)

    Lestat1, Heroes has been renewed. Alas Veronica Mars was cancelled. They might re-format it and bring back Kristen Bell as an F.B.I. agent. One can only hope.

    Thanks, I don't regularly search news sites for cancellation/renewal news so I just took NBC's ads of the Final 5 episodes instead of final 5 till season finale at their word. I figured the show just may have been one of the first BBC type style experiments where a show is written to only last a certain amount of time, I'm glad to know it will be back.

    Though where did you read Veronica got the ax for sure? I only found an LA Times article written yesterday(4/23/07) that said Veronica along with Gilmore Girls were on the "bubble" for renewal or the ax, though I understand Veronica will probably be gone, just like when Angel was riding the bubble and the only show getting a new season for sure is Everybody Hates Chris.

    You have more recent information than me. I love that show, so I'm preparing for the worst.
