I’m so ok with that right now.  In it for the post-, not the apocalypse.

Disappointing that Stew isn’t writing it with Heidi R. Gotta be a story there.

Rated X?

This is a small thing, but it was wild to watch the kids hear The Three Little Pigs for the first time. Their minds were BLOWN.

This is turning into one of those rare  book-to-screen adaptations that surpasses the source material—it’s richer, more complex and even more resonant. Great stuff.

First heard it via Cale’s version on the Basquiat soundtrack. Will always be my definitive Hallelujah—nobody else sounds quite broken, not even LC.

The fact that the Whedons intended to end the show on a Sondheim quote will never stop making me happy.

This-- all of it.

Sure there’s a video recording and you can absolutely access it- but only in person, and with someone with an NYPL card.

This really kills me. Camelot’s a success on its own terms—I guess, when an entire era is named after you, you qualify as a success—but it flattens out or jettisons so much of the novel’s complexity.

I thought it was a smart choice. I mean, it’s taken the show this many episodes to give the audience a sense of the stakes at Devs; leading Lily to the edge of the Phil. 101 cliff, them pushing her off, seems like pretty good pedagogy to me.

His being in this, and in that coat, made the episode worthwhile.

I find it so interesting that Nolan is using Westworld S3 to revisit the core conceit of Person of Interest, as if he had unfinished business that the older show’s procedural format made hard to complete. That brief glimpse of Enrico Colantoni, in a very Elias outfit, only underlined the connection.

So Jug’s bunny mask and murder at a classically-themed forest soirée feel liked big honking Secret History references, right?

Loved the duet with David Byrne- the Heads stylewas a great match for the girl’s desire to make something weird and beautiful. The rest of the songs said everything they had to say in the first verses and didn’t really develop or surprise after that. 

Good- it’s a natural musical. The dressing room scene with the birthday cake reminded me of Damn Yankees.

In The Secret Commonwealth, Pullman says that Pan is a human, and it caught me totally off-guard. I mean, it's self-evidently true, but I’d never thought of it in those terms.

There’s some crazy shit going on with Mrs. C and her monkey friend. Even her physicality can become simian, as when she drops onto the desk from the air duct. Would love to know the deal.

It’s a brilliant episode, and having Dr. Manhattan retain Cal’s face was absolutely right and very moving, from both within the story and as metatextual commentary on race in comics.

I didn’t get a Han/Chewie vibe off LMM, so much as a Mal/Zoe vibe. Maybe it was the leather.
