This is too bad, I hope it doesn’t scare off people who want to fight the democratic establishment that is clearly old and on its last legs of usefulness.

I loved it, it made me feel good and I’ve reread the last book more than the first two, but the point of the first two was that you don’t always get the happy ending, even if you do the noble thing, and that magic can’t fix everything and this book literally had magic fix everything with a happy ending. I can never…

I will never understand the love for Stewart. Her main acting quality is that she reacts less and more slowly than a normal person to anything happening around her. As a child actress, it made sense, since those kinds of movies feast on a child’s face slowly reacting, but as an adult I don’t get it.  The Slow…

I agree it’s a feature and works really well in the first two books. But in the third book, Quentin’s character arc has already been served previously, so its really obvious when the magical wheels fall off, since what Quentin is doing is less interesting, and kind of undermines the point of the first two books. 

I did the same. the books are fascinating examination of quentin but has a real unexplored depth in terms of the magical world and how things work. The focus on Quentin kind of hampers the magic piece too, because the magical rules are kind of rejiggered to serve the purpose of the Quentin’s development and…

I buy Ted and Robin as a first college/post college love, but not as a going concern, they wanted such wildly different things out of the age 30-50 period in their lives. Knowing empty nester widows/widowers, I do buy that a person would try to rekindle that in their mid 50s, because of the familiarity is probably…

what a strangely written guide

I use two chopsticks to mix everything cup sized these days. No scratchy sound of a fork on glass and doesn’t kick up splash the way a spoon does. Great for stirring spices, chocolate milk, liquid mixtures with big solid chunks in them, etc.  really the best way to go.

Coming off the strange end of Person of Interest it feels like Nolan and Joy finally have a tv show that they want to do. AI vs AI.

Can confirm, My grandfather was an exec in a majro chemical company and had a phone installed in the bathroom.  But the only one who ever used it was my Grandmother to call her family while she was taking a bath.

I thought Amaya’s death was well explored, because if she died of say cancer, then this whole endeavor is a just a way to look back at his daughter in a machine, which you could just as easily do via pictures and video.

landlords are antithetical to Marxism. Marx had to pay rent and didn’t really think it was fair based on how little the landlord did.

I wanted to save this comment until the end, but Syd raped a guy, got him arrested, killed her mother’s trust in men, and the morality of those decisions is never explored. They kept suggesting that they were going to explore it, but really dropped the ball.

yeah that’s not quite the same thing and always seemed dangerous to learn for me who has the same foot size.

Sounds like he’s getting Epsteined.  How does a guy in isolation get coronavirus.

These are the same people that made person of interest, and now cerac is the original programmer of the machine that nobody knows exists.  Reho is going to be a character.

I think her acting is interesting. Its very physical, and honestly very necessary for a show about developers, which could slide into being overly interior pretty easily.

They were like the people that staff middling offices of boring conglomerates in office parks. The kind of place where people are just responding to the help wanted ad, not any particular love of the industry.

This show is like if you just filled a show with Jonah’s and Mike’s from Veep instead of actually having Selena’s, Dans, Amy, Ben and Kent to temper that.

Greg Daniel’s wanted his own Good Place after separating from Schur I see. This very much looks like it will be the lesser show.
