It’s a great tool for determining exactly what I am not doing and when I am not doing it!

Lifehacker editorial is a different team from Audience Development—the team at G/O Media that owns social media. No one at Lifehacker had access to our Facebook page, including me, and I’m editor in chief. I don’t even have a Facebook account. Whatever you posted there had no impact on editorial decisions.

Yes! They must release the S2 soundtrack! I hope to write about it later in the season. Blanchard is absolutely bringing it.

Seriously, every scene is a wonder and feels like it was yanked right out of a ‘historical LA’ coffee book. I am absolutely enthralled with how well the settings show the City of Angels in the crux of its transformation into the New Gotham while still clinging desperately to its humble roots and old farmsteads on its…

Prettiest show on TV right now. I can think of no less than three shots this episode that will stick with me for a while. Don’t think any other show’s using color as well, either.

Great casting with Paul Raci as Lydell, he walks the edge of a mustache twirling villain and a truly terrifying individual. The way he walks toward his antagonists to get in their face mid-dialogue is very effective. This is the guy in Sound of Metal, right?

Brilliant episode; like you I kept being struck by the light and the colours. Lots of turquoise and teal too, this episode, contrasting with the golden light. And that race course!

It’s just good, fun comfort TV. And if you’ve ever watched Columbo, you know what to expect. It’s a variant of the whodunit forum (often called “howcatchem” because you know who did it from the start, before Lyonne even shows up. The fun is in seeing her piece it together and in figuring out the actual motives behind…

I’m not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou. I think he knocked her out, and then pushed the car over the cliff with her in it to kill her, making it look like she stole the car and died in an accident. I recall him saying something to that effect as part of his planned cover story. …

Will say it again, and I don’t care what some of the follow-up comments say, Johnson should have been in charge of the sequel triogy from the beginning and directed/wrote all three films. REALLY hope his future Star Wars stories are in play and his recent hits accelerate that. 

This was the least interesting episode plotwise, but in terms of characters and dialogue it totally knocked it out of the park for me.

yeah like last week the story makes little sense, it could have been interesting without the over the top “they wanted to blow up kids”; there could have been an interesting discussion about the moral dilemna of escalating violence to taking lives but they went straight to cartoonish villains with this. during the 70s…

“Granted, you’ll have to suppress any concerns you may have about the giant space-god that rose up out of the ocean and is now just sitting there, but as long as you never mention it, you’ll be fine.“

In that way it’s kind of trending towards Murder She Wrote where Jessica Fletcher showing up often is the catalyst for murders that just wouldn’t have happened if she had been out of town.

It’s weird to me that Charlie’s attempts to inspire have been directly responsible for 40% of the deaths thus far (BBQ Guy and Drummer Guy).

The puzzle pieces coming together in episode 3 was the highlight for me. Plus, the racist dog was a hoot.

Side note that I never knew much about Selena Gomez before, other than a vague awareness of her as a famous singing person, but over the pandemic my family watched and greatly enjoyed “Selena + Chef” on HBO (Max).  It’s delightful and she’s delightful.

In a way, each of us has their own Chevy Chase to face. For some, shyness might be their Chevy Chase. For others, a lack of education might be their Chevy Chase. For Selena Gomez, Chevy Chase is an actor who is apparently a major asshole. But as sure as my name is ScottyEnn, Selena Gomez can conquer her own personal…

Selena Gomez is the new Chevy Chase!

No shade on Selena Gomez, but this was a missed opportunity to cast someone named “Short Steve.”
