Comment on The Brits are Coming … But Don’t Tell by George

Mary Mother of God!!! Not ANOTHER tough as nails (but beautiful, we’re told) female cop, put on this earth to teach all of those wicked, self-absorbed, chauvanistic MALE cops a thing or two about law enforcement, with of course, ATTITUDE!! By the way, did you see the teaser where “Jane” slams her shield and GUN against the protective glass in the rear of a taxi, in order to terrify a cab driver? “Jane” probably gets away with it, because, well, she’s Jane!!! Anybody else would be hearing from IAD.

Just to put Unforgettable into context: its original title was The Rememberer.

Comment on Edited Collections: Why Bother? by Ethan Thompson

Meeting Jones and Gray and editing Satire TV is, without a doubt, the best thing that ever happened to my career. Whatever tenure math it does or does not count for, properly editing (or co-editing) a collection engages you in your discipline in a way nothing else can. I really don’t mean this as a dig at The Professor, but if one doesn’t participate, or even value, such engagement, then I can understand how one might leave the discipline and instead end up with a more general academic job outside it, like The Professor. Which ought to be taken into consideration by those seeking career advice from her.

Comment on Applying to Grad Schools in Media Studies, Part 3: How Do You Get In? by Matt Sienkiewicz

This sounds like tremendous advice, virtually none of which I followed when applying to schools. Which somehow worked out just fine. Jonathan’s advice is the percentage play and you’d be a fool not to follow it. But applications are read by people and people have biases, politics, histories and so on. So do what The Professor says, but remember that, good or bad, you need to keep the results of something like this in perspective. As Jonathan notes, this is a negotiation between a whole slew of subjectivities. Beating long odds always requires an element of serendipity.

@Will Brooker Will, I really think we should call Jonathan from now on Jonathan Gray, THE PROFESSOR. I know you’re more DC than Marvel, but we could also say, Professor G. (yes, i’m still in First Class fever…)

(Then again, my students do call me Dr. B., because they can’t pronounce my last name
