    Sad to see it end - it was a fun ride. Thanks for letting me contribute - I really enjoyed it! Thanks to all the other posters who I have become friends with over the last several months - I've enjoyed reading your comments and will miss our "nearly" daily interaction.

    Gonna miss the posts and great banter that happened in the comments!

    And I heartily second your recommendation for "In Bruges."

    Seeya around, guys!
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Thanks man, good luck to you!
  • daddyjason · 1 year ago
    Thanks for being a part of it!

    And I agree that In Bruges was good...although I'm not going to say it was the best movie I've seen all year or anything...alas, I guess we won't get to argue these points much longer.

    I'm just glad I still have an "in" with "someone" who will tell me what to watch at any given hour of the day.
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    I think you'll be giving me more news now :)
  • daddyjason · 1 year ago
    At least I still have AnaDVR...
  • The Kid and I · 1 year ago
    Does that mean I still have to record Dancing with the Stars for you?
  • The Trousered Ape · 1 year ago
    Uh...isn't that your job?

    I'm kidding - I had to get one more shot in. :)
  • The Kid and I · 1 year ago

    Sayeth Cartman: "You guys suck. I'm going home." ;)

    Seriously, thanks for running a great site and giving me a venue for my over-long recaps and rants. Now I just need to figure out who to coerce into giving me a soapbox half as good!
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    I can't imagine that it's that hard to find a good site out there that needs writers :) I'll write a recommendation if you want :)
  • R.A. Porter · 1 year ago
    If you think that, you haven't checked Alexa rankings lately. ;)

    You guys were really rocking.
  • daddyjason · 1 year ago
    Ah man!

    Yeah we were.
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    *sigh*

  • Belle21 · 1 year ago
    I'll miss your site. I wish you the best of luck.
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Thanks Belle!
  • Julie · 1 year ago
    Wow! I haven't been recappin' for the site long, but it didn't take much to see the passion and community that the two of you were trying to create. This was definately a great site, but I can completely understand why they two of you have made the decision that you did. I wish you the best of luck.
  • daddyjason · 1 year ago
    Thank you, Julie. We appreciate your recent contributions. I'm sorry we didn't stick around long enough to read more from you.
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    On a side note Julie, your Gossip Girl recap has been getting LOTS of hits :)
  • Julie · 1 year ago
    thats cause gossip girl is where its at yo! don't ever let them tell you otherwise! haha.
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    ROTFL!!! Point!
  • Dadofiandi · 1 year ago
    This was just becoming part of my OCD. I totally understand the rationale for your decisions. I am sure to harass in other formats
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Oh, there is no doubt you will :)
  • daddyjason · 1 year ago
    I think it was a part of a lot of people's OCD - including ours! Thanks for sticking with us so long.
  • Raven Spinner · 1 year ago
    That last scene in Firefly (also my favorite TV show ever), always chokes me up too. The people in my office are going to think someone died....Where is my tissue? :P Anyway, I'll miss PC and everyone here. Thanks again for all the work to this site Mike and Jason and all the additional writers. I loved every minute I got to spend at PC.
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    So glad someone else shares that same sentiment about that final scene...such a good one.

    Thanks again Raven for being a part of it!
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    Man.... I going to stop liking stuff a ton, thats it, I swear. Everytime I frakkin like something they cancel it. So now I love PC (because how can you not!!), it has the coolest reviews, interesting opinions, just about THE GREATEST BACK AND FORTH banter ever, guaranteed daily (hell HOURLY) laughs, the NEATEST COOLEST commentors and writers, and here they go and put it on the Jounreyman pile, which if you think of it, might be fitting. This partnership you guys had was really cool, put to shame any other site trying to do the same. This was a journey you guys took, and in its season long run, as just damn awesome and will always leave us (ok, me) yearning for a ton more. I guess the saddest thing for me will be the lack of DAMN LOST RECAPS SINCE YOU GOT ME TO WATCH ALL OF THE SEASONS.....sonova.....ok not the saddest thing, but its up there. I'll truly miss everyones comments to the well written articles. So with Jasons post I gave a BSG quute, for Mike's post I'll give a final quote from Journeyman to mark the end of a really awesome adventourous journey this site has taken me on....
    PC we will definitley miss you, but if you ever want to come back "we'll leave a light on for you..."
  • daddyjason · 1 year ago
    I didn't even think about missing out on the Lost discussions. DANG!
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    See Im good for something.... The Cap'n doesnt have 29 pts for spelling correctly !!
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    30 points!
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Well, i'll email everyone later in January and have you all find A Mike Life and we'll talk Lost there...because you know I'll be WANTING to talk about it.
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    Sureeeeeeeeeeee watch 4 seasons of Lost, you'll really like it, you can discuss it on our site .... for a bit.... WHAP! =D
  • daddyjason · 1 year ago
    HAHA - you fell right into our trap! That was our evil plan all along!

    Seven months we waited to drop the bomb! Oh man, you should have seen the look on your face!...er...avatar...well, you should have seen the look on my face when I was imagining the look on your face! Priceless!
  • The Trousered Ape · 1 year ago
    I didn't even think about LOST coming back and the vacuum this place will leave when it comes discussion time...ugh.
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    Come on now everybody sing the hit single from Drive Shaft..."Weeeeeee are everybodyyyyyy... weeeee are everybodyyyyy...."
  • Adam (A-Bomb) · 1 year ago
    Man, this sucks. :(
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Tell me about it Adam :)
  • James · 1 year ago
    Well this bleeping sucks. I've been a lurker for awhile but definitely have enjoyed the recaps. Too bad you can't keep it alive but if you're interested holler, maybe it's possible to get your lives back and keep it going...
  • coroners · 1 year ago
    Woop! there goes the best source for news! Still I understand where your at and I am glad you made the decision to spend more time on the baby when it pops out! I wish you the best of luck with both family and your career
  • nicky · 1 year ago
    boo hoo! although i have been MIA lately with all of the stuff going on with Claire, i will really miss PC! but i totally understand your reasoning and can't wait to see where life's new journeys take you and Jina in the coming months. i really enjoyed getting to "know" some of the commenters on here and wish you all the best!
  • nicky · 1 year ago
    and i forgot to mention what i will NOT miss. seeing my hubby's creepy mullet picture on his comments! yuck.
  • adrianvender · 1 year ago
    Don't worry babe. I'll still wear it at night.
  • Sean · 1 year ago
    ;( Sad sad day. It's like finding out you have a terminal illness. That's how fun it was coming here. ;)

    We had Dexter coming up. LOST. And who knows what else you would surprise us with. Your recaps were awesome. Very funny and well written. Thanks for holding out as long as you did. I appreciate it. It was a lot of fun.
  • daddyjason · 1 year ago
    Not sure anyone's ever called us the antithesis of a terminal illness before but it sounds like a pretty good compliment so I'll take it!
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    LOLOLOLOL......
  • adamczar · 1 year ago
    Wow, I am surprised! But I get it... running a site is hard, hard, tiring work. I wanted to say thanks for the opportunities even though I haven't written anything for the site in ages. And also thanks for bringing us all something to read everyday. I didn't comment as much as I probably should have but I don't think I ever missed an article. I'll be keeping in touch.
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    I keep playing a Dumb and Dumber scene over in my head relative to this site going away....
    You can see it here 6th one down called Goodbye my Love...
