For season 1 he was also cribbing heavily from not only Chambers’s The King in Yellow (which was, of course, explicit) but also works by Laird Barron and others—especially Thomas Ligotti’s The Conspiracy Against the Human Race, from which whole monologues by Cohle are lifted. Accusations of plagiarism got thrown…

Eh... Pizzolatto is a blowhard and a one-trick pony, but the writing in S1 is significantly better than S2 and 3, mostly because he had a significantly longer time to work on it and iron out all the kinks. The pacing and structure work much better than in later seasons and that’s all in the script.

The question people should ask is how this miniseries would have been regarded if it were a standalone thing rather than something called True Detective.

NOTHING will ever make me appreciate Chuck Lorre. He's a hack.

The way Colin Farrell delivers that line with psychotic earnest while chewing the scenery actually works though.

Thank you. Every single season so far has thrived by creating an atmosphere of lurking dread that’s a little occult in nature. Each season then undercuts that atmosphere with “reveals” near the season’s end.

Knowing this I stilll come back each time! That’s how much I love the vibes and take each season’s weaknesses…

There was *plenty* to criticize about Season 4 that had nothing to do with gender or race.

If anyone is disappointed in seeing Gina Torres instead of Megan Markle, then I pity you. What is she? A big damn hero.

So even the people who’ve told me what an asshat he is say he’s great with his fans. And he’s definitely done a lot of charity gigs. But I’ve never spoken to anyone who’s worked with him who had a single nice thing to say (all crew of various sorts, and writers, not costars. Maybe he’s different with them)

Really? I honestly have only read the opposite, with him being kind to all his Arrow cast mates and crew, as well as very approachable to fans and dedicating lots of time for good causes.

I think his best clarification was “perhaps it was... inarticulate,” as I’m not sure he understands what “reductive” means, nor “myopic.” He should probably put the thesaurus down, and just speak plainly on how he feels: strikes suck, even when necessary, and he’s bummed he can’t promote his show. It’s alright to feel…

As a German - this isn’t a zero sum game. The citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were civilians, asking for respect for them is the right of every nation and war crimes cannot be justified by a “they started it”.

Elon's anti-LGBT so I don't think he'd mind if we deadnamed his platform and keep calling it Twitter

Yeah Japan and Germany were in a heated race to see who could do the most fucked up shit and if you know the history of korea and nanking you know it was a close race.

I think the Green Hornet might be in the public domain, but even if not, it’s Dynamite that has the comic book rights to the character, as well as a lot of Golden Age comic and pulp fiction characters (for example, Lord of the Jungle/Tarzan is a Dynamite title right now, as is Dejah Thoris from the John Carter books).

Preacher how do you leave off Preacher?

I mean, they’re attached to a machine that transfers their physical form and previous thoughts to another being, so is it all that far-fetched that it would keep them safe from the effects of radiation too?

good. stay away. not everyone needs to be connected to a MCU/DCU/Star Wars property. hes doing great with his own stuff and should keep it that way.

I assumed he was wearing the prosthetics under his pants, that Stark had just used his nano-watsits at some point during the blip to make his friend something slim-fitting. I thought someone somewhere had mentioned that they could see lights through the cloth, but I didn’t see that during a quick step-through of…
