David Cronenberg

The day thread looks at the mothership ten years ago today (Sept 29th)

Powered by archive.org’s wayback machine, Lets see what the AV Club was talking about exactly ten years ago.  I’m sure it’ll be nice and wholesome . . .

TOP STORIES

Oh.  Oh no.  Welp.  Ok so the first thing is a list of . . . er, “close” siblings.  Never change, AV Club.

Ok lets move on.  Ah, 5 episodes of Gilmore Girls you MUST watch once it hits streaming,

Imagine living in a world where Gilmore Girls wasn’t streaming.  Nuts.

The episodes are:

 “They Shoot Gilmores, Don’t They?” (season three, episode seven)

“Bon Voyage” (season seven, episode 22)

 “Haunted Leg” (season three, episode two)

 “Teach Me Tonight” (season two, episode 19)

“Friday Night’s Alright For Fighting” (season six, episode 13)

No I don’t know why they are in this order.

Lets see, what else . . .
