Think you got distracted by the racial profiling comment, because that is not what the article was saying? It was making a comparison to the immediately preceding sentence:

This is a pretty decent satire post, but being Call of Duty-related, it probably needs a racial slur or three too.

Yeah, I always love watching the people bend over backwards to explain how CoD “isn’t inherently political”. That every second of the game somehow ISN’T Pro-American Right Wing propaganda.

I just find it hilarious how they manage to cram all the generic bad guys into one. So there’s a middle eastern terrorist working with mexican drug cartels and they are being fed weapons by Russia. I was half expecting North Korea to show up to finish my bingo.

Not to defend terrorists nor drug cartels nor Russia, it…

There’s a part of the game where you climb a ladder and slide down the Trump wall with ease, “de-escalate” by aiming assault rifles at Texans living in mobile homes, and then get arrested by police officers because you’re Mexican, only for the police officers to be immediately killed by middle eastern terrorists in…

It’s ten episodes and Ed doesn’t show up until, what, 9 of the original? I also bet you’re right about the tag at the end of the season.

No Ed is a huge red flag for me. I bet they squeeze in Ed as a tag at the end of the 1st season. 

My first thought was that he’s done a good job explaining why this show sucks.

Going by the review, the change of mediums was the least of the show’s problems.

C+ is a bad review. Hell, I’m a little leery of a B. If the question is, “Will I be happy I watched this?” then I mentally translate the grades as:

*most sincere air guitar sting*

I saw this yesterday and I’ll say it’s better than the reviews let on. It’s fun in a shaggy-dog kinda way–just like the first two. Paine and Weaving steal the film–they are separated from B&T for most of the movie but the opening scene wonderfully establishes how much they are their fathers’ daughters, so it’s…

I was sticking to the Moffat era. But you are correct.

Right, it took Moffett years to get this bad.  Chibnall has improved since that TW’s “Cyberwoman” and that episode of Doctor Who where the moon was a fucking egg, but honestly, not a lot.  Like Moffett’s final years, the actors playing the Doctor and the companion(s) are doing most of the heavy lifting.

It felt like the actor and the script played it like the sheriff could teeter over into country bumpkin cliche at any point, but then he never did, and that was great.

There was a moment there where he almost became they protagonist, and Mulder and Scully were the asshole FBI agents who were obstructing his legitimate investigation. It was kinda neat.

The highlight of this episode for me was the Mud Lick sherrif. It’s been 11 seasons and 25 years, and this was the first time that one of the law enforcement characters on the show seemed plausible. He’s helpful to a couple of federal agents, asks and answers relevant questions, then calls them on their bullshit when…

Also a psychic in Clyde Bruckman.

I liked it well enough, but now after the fact do realize more obviously the lack of anything beyond “here are twins, they have powers, and they use those powers to kill people for one reason or another.” And why didn’t they try to do more for the lawyer guy? He comes to them about seeing his double, and the main bit…

So our heroes were saved by their sexiness. Math checks out.
