Why?

I’d like you to compare these articles:

Of course. Who can forget the headline ‘Man walks into Sandy Hook Elementary School and Yells 20 Children to Death’?

Get back to teaching Lego Biology, man.

I posit that that wasn’t because she was [significantly] less sex positive than she is now, but because of her vow of pre-marital celibacy, which she maintained partly because it was a promise to her grandmother and partly because she believed in a kind of narrative significance inherent in the act of losing her…

I really quite liked Cars 3. It’s at least middle range Pixar (easily above true duds Cars 2, Brave and The Good Dinosaur), it has some nice themes that aren’t that often covered in children’s films, good enough characters and a plot that’s fresh, or at least fresh enough.

I got a- Oh, right, you covered that.

‘Your honour, you’re not fit to judge me for the crime of killing my wife, because you already dislike me for killing my wife.’

I liked a lot of season 6 (much more than either of the two previous seasons), but it sort of went off the rails about halfway through. In the second half of the season I remember there were a couple of outright terrible episodes like the con artist one, and then some mixed bag ones like Garrett’s wedding (which…

This is why I was grateful when Yahoo released Community season 6 on a weekly basis. I’ve only watched that season through the once, on initial broadcast (I think I watched the first couple of episodes twice during the initial run?), and that was nearly three years ago, but I could list the plots of at least 9 or 10…

It could have been both - possibly by that point the show wasn’t worth making while struggling through a harassment suit (while it might have been worth it earlier in the show’s run). This could have been the clincher that finished off a respected but dwindling series.

I’m on the same page. I’m still enjoying it, but I think I’d have a much higher opinion of this arc if they’d limited it to 8 or 9 episodes total. That way the Fitz episode would have been at the halfway point, setting up for the final lunge, rather than setting up for more stuff, leading to more stuff, leading to…

I was totally Team Michael (still am, in many ways), but yeah, they’re doing all the right things to make Jane/Rafael entertaining, engaging and promising. I love this show.

Hmmm... okay, I can buy that. Not that that was the original intention - I don’t think the execution of the scene bears that out, since while it acknowledges her knowing the real Chidi, it doesn’t seem to relate to her actually caring about him (after all, sociopathic manipulators understand people too) - but I’m…

I’d niggle at that nature of both Jason and Eleanor’s tests, or at least the nature of their failure/success, since both wound up being a test of their intelligence rather than any morality. Jason’s instinct when given a game was to play it, and once he actually contemplated the nature of his conflict he did at least…

I like this rebranding thing.

I was perfectly fine with it in principle, but in execution it looked bloody silly. It got a big laugh in the cinema where I saw it, and that’s really not what you want at that point. But her actual use of the Force there I don’t have a problem with.

Absolutely. References to the council, the Sith, and Darth Sideous were unnecessary but brilliant for establishing the film’s place within wider whole. I frankly wouldn’t have been surprised if Midi-chlorians had come up (I’m sure Johnson would have found a way to incorporate them while also dismissing their relevance…
