Yeah, they have both a rotating group of regular directors as well as guest directors. This episode was directed by Greg Nicotero, the special effects and makeup genius behind the show. He’s directed 21 episodes (including 4 this season) according to IMDB.

Yeah, I’m glad that they have some gay characters and all, but his husband has been an absolutely nothing character who exists for no reason other than for the show to go 1) “look, Aaron is gay, everyone!” or 2) “look, Aaron cares about someone, everyone!” It’s really bad.

Really? The post-SOA show’s host was just...awful. The most cringy dudebro I think they could possibly have found. He alone made the after-show unwatchable for me.

Now, unlike the rest of the Internet, I still really enjoy The Walking Dead, but damn this episode was bad. It was really one of the first in a while that I would have graded less than a B (probably a solid D-). From Chekov’s shelf bracket, to first season character I couldn’t give a fuck about, to Ezekiel being…

I rewatched the season finale of last season just the other day, and I, too, thought the tiger gently tackled Neegan. Actually, it tackled the guy behind him and he said “oh, shit!” and let Korl and Rick live while he ran away.

lol...nothing I said was mansplaining. It was a person with actual experience explaining something that has zero bearing on gender to someone with an infantile understanding and attitude. Your classification of such as thing as “mansplaining” says more about your beliefs about women than my own.

Wow. 1) I worked retail off-and-on through high school and while putting myself through college. I never would have been bothered by this. 2) They are paid hourly no matter how many sales they do. 3) I tip generously, far more than most customers. 4) I live in a small town where the Starbucks never hits more than 60%…

My mom was really good about making me help out around the house from an early age. By junior high, I was coming home from school every day to a typed list of chores for that afternoon - prepping for dinner or actually cooking it, lawn work, laundry, cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming, etc. Every week day, plus the…

I can attest to the need to teach kids to do chores. My wife is awesome and very loving and way more patient than me...but, her parents didn’t make her do chores or pick up after herself almost at all. As a 34 year-old wife and mother, she doesn’t even notice messes. Like, she will literally walk to the shower,…

The only time I go to Starbucks is when I need to do some work without interruption or distraction (I’m a college professor / high school teacher). This means that I’m sitting in a Starbucks for between 4-6 hours at a time. I will order my go-to drink (venti skinny vanilla late) and then drink it down to about 15%…

I also had a question for anyone that uses Kindle Unlimited: when it comes to audiobooks, how does it stack up to Audible in terms of choice?

So, I’ve been watching the Kindle Paperwhite for nearly two years now. It seems like it’s on sale for about one week every single month, always for $99. This is the lowest it has been since it came out, but only by $10 or 10% the “normal” sale price. So, if you’re thinking of getting one, now is the best time so far,…

That’s a good point about them being more based off the book than the movie. I hadn’t thought of it like that.

Other fine to good horror remakes:

Something I’ve been wondering about for awhile on this show that really hit me in this episode: when they shoot people, are we to believe that they are somehow just wounding them? Because otherwise, Team Arrow are some hardcore serial killers of a supervillain level. That used to be a conflict on the show back in the…

I see. I’ve only heard him in the podcast. There, he refers to the Jehovah’s Witnesses not being a cult but practicing something along the lines of harmful manipulation, which I think is pretty easily shown to be true. They force members to completely excommunicate former members from their lives, which is very…

Vibe is Cisco’s hero identity. He can create inter and intra-dimensional portals, blast people with some sort of portal energy or something, and also has limited abilities to see the future or present of someone or something he touches. That sounded weird, seeing the “present.” That is, if Barry were imprisoned…

You’re forgetting about time travel. There’s always Time Travel. Also, extra dimensions.

Both this and the Arrow season premier basically said “Remember how at the end of last season there were really big stakes that resulted in a really big disaster? Well, none of that mattered at all.” At least on Arrow Speedy is in a coma and they killed off a nothing guest character. Flash literally just sent a guy to…

I see, thanks. I was referencing a commenter who compared him disfavorably to the SPLC who they claimed (without giving any examples or evidence) incorrectly labels legitimate organizations as hate groups. I agree that from listening to him, he sounds like a talking head guy.
