The first article about Alan Sepinwall I found very interesting.  I guess the reason it interested me so much is that he was a fan.  He ran a fan sight and ran it so successfully that he was hired to continue doing it so successfully.  When I think of critics, I tend to think of  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVtVZWzhG_s I mean that is an exaggerated version of course but I think of the thumbs up and thumbs down type of guys.  Not just some random fan that’s getting annoyed that NBC or Fox (because it’s always one of them) cancelling their favorite show too early.  I guess for whatever reason in my head I always thought of a critic as a journalist.  Journalists are supposed to be impartial.  Shows what happens when you ignore the critics for a long time as I’ve actually been doing on purpose.  Now I’ve read the second article, which makes me crack up a bit at my own response to the first article.  I apparently took the article the exact way the critics didn’t want someone to take it.

Sadly, people have misinterpreted something that showed up on Google, combined it with their assessment that the parents of those that were killed haven’t mourned sad enough.  Now, I’m not shocked because people these days just can’t seem to fathom that some people are just crazy.  So they have to make it make since and unfortunately, that’s happened with several tragedies.

It’s apparently about the top 5 gossipy things on the web.  I found # 1 and 2 as very interesting.  #1 was what drew me to the site apparently Michael J. Fox doesn’t want Taylor Swift to date his son.  You know this makes perfect sense to me.  Womens a man-eater, she has the persona of a good girl.  Very clever she doesn’t dress provocative therefore she’s a good girl.  But, she’s had how many boyfriends in the past year?  Her songs are all about what?  I’m just pointing out that in her line of work a long lasting relationship could be a hindrance.

Also George Takei thought William Shatner was a douche when they worked together…  I’m not surprised.  As ever parody I’ve ever seen of anything close to Star Trek conveys the captain in that light.  It had to come from somewhere.
