I don't actually have much optimism for this show and continue to watch it because I'm kind of surprised such balderdash is allowed to be on tv.

Crikey.

That Sean Pertwee is still on this show might be a sign that his dialogue gets less awful in the future. Here's hoping.

Season 3 vaccination plot hook confirmed

Lucius Fox looked really confused about the wording, but maybe that was because he couldn't tell if he was getting hit on or threatened by Alfred.

It's the only way to save the children of Gotham City from a fate worse than death by polio: being on the autistic spectrum.

I like where this went. Cheers, mate.

Apparently Bruno Heller is actually from London so tonight's really weirdly overly British Alfred was, I guess, based on slang that actually happens in the real world?
Kippers, mate.
Kippers. They're a kind of fish.

I am very proud of Harvey Bullock being sober for 32 days. I am so proud
of him for that, I don't even care that he's a fictional character, I'm just really glad that he was able to recognize a bad thing in his life and move away from it.
Oh hi Gotham welcome back I will gladly watch more of you even though you hurt me…

Yeah over the almost 20 years that Trey and Matt have been making this show, societal norms and "who is a valid target for jokes" have both changed. Like, almost any comic who's worked during the same time period will comment that old jokes are "no longer funny", because now audiences are quite a bit less likely to…

This was an amazing, beautiful, crushing, funny, tour de force of an episode. Just, wow.

I mean we all knew that BoJack and Wanda were going to fall apart, because BoJack is not (yet?) capable of having a lasting positive relationship. But that breakup was tough, because its characters are, in spite of starring in an animated comedy about talking animals, fantastic and wonderful.

"the libertarian nihilist place of smugly mocking those who care"
Thankfully, there's no adult-aimed animated television comedy series that would dare be so immature.
(drinks more bleach to forget the past 19 years)

Yeah anyone who is offering up 1984 as a better year for SF/F movies than 1982 needs to … I dunno. Maybe try a different offer.

Apparently! I've been hearing good things about it, I might have to somehow illegally procure all those episodes this summer and watch them.

Yeah I think looking back at Jiaying's actions in hindsight that it's easier to see that she had a Magneto-esque "My kind of people first" mentality. On the show we weren't supposed to leap to that conclusion because we generally assume that mothers are genocidal and also because Cal seemed like the broken person…

Diviner metals, you can't screw around with those. Turn you into blue stone, every time.

You are correct, I forgot that the Diviners were lethal whereas the terrigen was not. I blame Ward for brainwashing me.

You're right, I was wrong, and I will now eat all the crow.
