I haven’t really liked Schaal in the show; she’s usually great but the character isn’t great. EXCEPT for that angry rant.

Clark is just a dork even as himself, which is great. But also, I love how they adjusted nerdy Clark Kent by doing the bumbling awkward dad angle.

I loved this episode, but great point on the Smallville-Fortress stuff. The Reeve filsm did this too and I never understood it. Clark can fly, he surely isn’t spending years alone in solitude.

Now that would be interesting.

It’s fascinating that JHI said Clark would side with “his” people. Both Snyder’s Superman and this one are focused on exploring the fact that Clark isn’t biologically human, but while Snyder is fundamentally obsessed with Superman as a being of power and how power makes him alienated, this show is eviscerating that…

Glad you made that connection. From the throwdown with kryptonite gas to the spear, this episode (after the last two weeks that seemed like a more subtle refutation of BvS) this one was a giant F you to BvS’s surface level themes.

Good. The proper Clone Wars.

Came here to say that. I do think War was not as good as Dawn (which is one of the best blockbusters of the 21st century), but both rocked.

The original (brilliant, screwed by the channel) Penny Dreadful, or the 1930s spinoff?

Fantastic performance, but unfortunately I felt like the script this week oversold it and telegraphed it all. Kind of killed the momentum; unlike the mystery stuff which I want more of.

The depressing thing is The Modern Ocean was announced as being backed by a studio, with Carruth even saying it would help avoid budget/financing issues. And then Tom Holland said Carruth couldn’t find a studio to fund him. So whoever originally greenlit it seems to have killed our chances of getting this.

1) Aaron Rodgers is the GOAT. No question.

Does anyone read Morse code? It looks like Max is trying to blink a message.

Well, if hell freezes over (and I say this as someone hyped as hell for this film; Good Time is a masterpiece) I suppose I’ll try heroin or something.

The only thing better is when we get a Papa John story and the related posts are all the Drunk Papa John photo.

Boy Meets World and the first two seasons of Spin City though.

It very much had the feel of “guy who was trained but was injured years ago and hasn’t had to deal with this for obvious reasons,” which is, you know, Jack Ryan.

Fiennes’ Coriolanus was fantastic. As for Macbeth, there was a solid modern-day Australian adaptation in 2006. A bit gauche in style, and maybe a love it or hate it version, but it worked for me.

David Michod’s The Rover is one of the best films of the last few years, so I’m excited. Hell, even War Machine was great; it perfectly captured how twisted Michael Hastings’ book The Operators was (RIP to Hastings). I’ll definitely watch this.

I need this show. I need a full sweeping epic adventure drama from Ghibli.
