It's dry if you don't cook it correctly. I agree that dry turkey is pretty bad. But the Internet is making it easier than ever to cook a turkey the right way, which is absolutely delicious.

I think turkey is not cool anymore, or something. But yes, moist, well-prepared turkey is amazing. Even my kid, currently going through a picky phase, will practically eat buckets of the stuff.

Yeah, that was weird. I guess if you try to think about what comes afterwards (she abandons the social media as status system), it's arguably happy. But what we saw does not qualify as a happy ending.

Right? If someone had told you there was an episode of Black Mirror that would make you feel deliriously happy, you would think that person was a sicko, and yet it's true.

Doom can be a heavy hitter. In the comics, he gets a magic power set that could make him a legitimate threat to the entire universe.

Or tomes of forbidden and unknowable lore.

I saw it as an unambiguously happy ending, because she managed to let go of her tragic history to hope for a better, freer existence with someone who genuinely loved her. She was ready to go to what she thought was oblivion out a sense of obligation to her dead husband and daughter, then realized then decision helped

That was my thought as well.

Nosedive actually made me appreciate Bryce Dallas Howard, which was a pretty impressive feat. I also liked Shut Up and Dance because it played like an Alfred Hitchcock thriller with 21st century technology, except the main character also turned out to be even more of a shitball than a typical Hitchcock protagonist.

Yes. I mean, I don't begrudge the people who don't feel that way, but I'm pretty firm in my ideas about my own gender.

I don't have a ton of hard opinions about gender, but the singular "they" will not stand with me just from a grammar standpoint.

Well, okay. So let's calm down a bit and dig into this. (And you know, use that critical thinking this Newswire is imploring us to use.) Middle-schoolers and teenagers also have underdeveloped critical thinking skills because their brains are still growing. That's biology.

San Junipero was a notable and refreshing exception to the series' general pessimism, but as a whole the third season has been very good (still need to watch the last episode). Men Against Fire was definitely the weak link: I understand what it was trying to do, but it was a tad too ham-fisted for me.

I don't know if I'd say they were the epitome, though I agree they were part of this trend. I thought X-Force and the 90s X-Men books were way worse offenders than Spider-Man (though Image topped them all with Spawn, Youngblood, Brigade, etc.)

Bilingual puns are the best.

I love that you are annoyed when you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. I am telling you: my son's grandmother is not white. As in, if she were in Alabama in the 50s, they would have made her go to the back of the bus. But you have an anecdote, so whatever.

She probably should have been Storm. The problem was that Halle Berry was really the "hot actress" in the early 2000s.

Angela Basset is playing someone's mom? Jesus, how old am I?

I agree, while fully acknowledging it's probably a cultural bias I have. What I'm more interested in is how Bourdain thinks people should react to that information. What does he want? Applause?
