Ass-Kicker Saturday

Okay gang. Regardless of your lack of religious beliefs or lack of lack thereof, everyone should celebrate Ass-Kicker Saturday.

It commemorates the time that Jesus spent in Hell fighting demons.

This holiday is about Being Positive, Fighting Demons, and how Everyone Needs A Good Ass-Kicking, and I think those are things we can all get behind.

So raise a glass in honor of Ass-Kicker Saturday.

Also, here’s evidence of how clever I think I am:

The writers working on the later episodes, the NT seasons of the show, were way too PC. And let me tell you: that Revelations shit wouldn’t have flown in the early seasons. Plus there’s no narrative through line – it’s just a bunch of letters from Paul for long stretches. But the thing that really ruined the NT was all that “midi-chlorian” nonsense.

The NT writing staff’s “Let’s write in Greek!” craze was flawed. Plus the NT episodes are, like, totally anti-Semitic. But the shark-jumping moment is definitely the season when they brought in that baby Jesus, the “scrappy little kid,” as a Cousin Oliver type character. That didn’t work so they killed him off (on the way back to his home planet), THEN decided there was more money in saying he wasn’t really dead.

Having said that, I love when the Disciples finally get to Mordor.
