Do you guys think Billy Donovan took the NBA assistant coaching gig because he knows the UK opening will be free soon? He might be holding out for UK until Pope leaves.

This is satire and not meant to be taking seriously. I anticipate it will be, though. Will the Donovan to Kentucky dream be put to bed?

There’s a shockingly high amount of identity theft and usurpation in this show.

I’m also forgetting about 10 examples, but there’s just so many times that another character tried to mimic or takeover another character’s life. Literally as I’m typing this I’m reminded of another example with Ice Thing/Gunther.

I love that there are subtle, consistent and series-long jokes. My favorite is that the Water Nymphs are terrible at telling jokes. What are some other examples and what’s your favorite?

What do you think his actual name is? He’s the Earl of Lemongrab and he goes by the title of his state (like the Duke of Somerset went by Somerset or Henry Temple, the Viscount Palmerston went by Palmerston). So if Lemongrab is his title, what’s his actual name?

Personally I think he feels like a Citron.

What is the unlikeliest record performance based on player strength or previous performance? For instance is there a case where a guy known well for stolen bases hits a franchise record for home runs in a game or something like that?

I guess I’m asking what’s the most uncharacteristic game of all time? Like if Ozzie Smith had three errors or Jim Thome stole the most franchise bases during a full-moon night game or something. What’s the craziest game or season or record that goes against type?

If the Thunder win the championship, is SGA the greatest NBA cat of all time? Is he already?

We’ve got a storied history and to a lesser extent storied NBA history, but what SGA is doing is unprecedented for an ex UK guy. We’ve never had a player win mvp. He’s won 2. In a row. He’s the best player on his team, won the finals MVP last year, and would be a massive favorite for mvp if he wins the championship this year. I just don’t see anyone else in UK history coming close to him in terms of pro-greatness. You’ve got Dan Issel, but he was never a champion and while great, was never the best player in the league. Mashburn, similar good all-star numbers but no ring and not the best of his era (he played with Jordan). Pat Riley’s got an argument if you consider coaching and front office. Frank Ramsey has the rings but was obviously not the best on his team or all-nba talent (though an excellent sixth man). AD has a ring but was second option that year and has never won DPOY despite his great stats. Current and recent cats like Wall, Cousins, Bam, KAT, Booker, etc. have been all-stars but either haven’t got their teams over the hump in the playoffs or had generational talent cut short by injuries. In short, has SGA done enough now to be the BBNBA GOAT? Back-to-back MVPs and possibly back-to-back rings would put him in rarified air and he’s clearly the alpha dog on his team. I think he might already be our GOAT, short as his career has been already.

Let me preface this by saying I hate myself for engaging in a discussion about the sexuality of fictional characters. I understand how ridiculous it is. With that said, it unnerves me that so many people insist Marcy and PB are straight up lesbians when they clearly are bisexual. Marcy dated Ash, presumably for some time and there doesn’t seem to be societal pressures for her to do so. By that point Simon was out of the picture (he didn’t even know about him) and Hunson Aberdeer clearly doesn’t GAF. So it seems she’s dating him because that’s who she is attracted to. Similarly, I’ve seen people say Mr. Cream Puff is pushed on PB and that’s fair when she’s a child. But she’s still seen dating him when she meets Shoko as an adult. She’s making her own decisions and I presume she had already dummified her family. Her interaction with Braco (and slightly less obviously Finn and Ricardio) also seems to suggest that she’s not straight lesbian. She never suggests that they’re barking up the wrong tree, just that they aren’t the person she’s interested in. Again, I’ll say it’s silly to quibble over the sexuality of a fictional character, but this one seems so obvious yet so many people seem to have a contrarian opinion.

I think it would be very hard to combat the propaganda from Hitler and Goebbels, particularly for those who are not deep thinkers. I’d rank FDR as one of the top presidents for communication, but how would he have stopped the Big Lie and other Nazi messaging? Particularly in an era of social media and AI?

TIL that this was formerly the bath boys gang’s hideout. But in the current age in Ooo why is nobody living there? It even has an observatory (couldn’t find a picture online) so it’s almost crazy that science obsessed PB hasn’t claimed it as a country home.

So my son is trying to unlock this on his profile. We have beaten the game hundreds of times and this has never been a problem. The blue platform just isn’t triggering. We have platinumed the game on his profile. We have beaten the 1994 throwback T-Rex. I have checked for updates (though we have the special bots on a different profile already), I have force closed the game and reopened. I have restarted the PlayStation. I’ve joined new levels to see if the bot seeking will trigger. I’m getting nothing. I’m nonplussed. I’m perplexed. My youngest son is really wanting to rescue the bots on his profile and I just have no idea what’s preventing the secret labo from triggering.

Based on his poem, do you think he was a good or bad dad? Obviously he cared enough to want to be better.

Kinda crazy to think about, but the Finn has only canonically been married to Erin.

Yes, yes…he’s definitely had more developed relationships with Huntress and Rosalinen, but we don’t know for a fact that they were married (though I think it’s strongly implied at least for Rosalinen). It’s crazy to think about, but the only smoking-gun evidence we have for a Finn marriage is Erin.

While it’s obvious we will never know who inspired the character from the show creators, who do you envision as the inspiration? For me, Daniel Day-Lewis fits. For one, the timeline fits with him being a megastar in terms of awards and accolades. Second, he constantly devalued his own accolades / the importance of the profession. Finally, he was private, if not reclusive, and didn’t like a lot of publicity or attention. I always think of him when watching the episode. How about you?
