My wife and I finally got around to watching IF over the last two weeks, and it is a legitimately bizarre show. It's easily my least favorite of the Netflix Marvel shows, but it was strangely compelling and I couldn't stop watching it.

My ranking goes JJ->DDS1->LC->DDS2->IF.

Go on….

The plaintiff rests, Your Honor.

I'm glad they realized that if they made Natalie Dormer's character a romance option, literally no one on the planet would pursue any other romance option in the game, but it still didn't stop me from being disappointed that she wouldn't even flirt with me. Le sigh.

The Ataris made that whole thing a lot easier to understand, except that I'm not sure most of the people who heard their cover know that "Black Flag" is a band, so maybe they didn't after all.

He was too busy taking a moment to kiss a guy to notice.

It really is bizarre how a feature which should've been almost universally palatable (quasi-famous person complains about famous song that's so famous it's inevitably annoying) turned into something so universally distasteful and toxic. I'm sort of at a loss to explain that.

You might even say, about songs they hate!

Look, you might hate the Eagles, and you might hate "Hotel California," but it's nowhere close to the worst song of all time.

Without clicking, I'm going to assume it's the Gypsy Kings cover and agree.

The only reasonable excuse for it being in the movie would be that it's an in joke amongst the cast and crew that was so outrageously funny to them that it didn't matter that it came off as both inexplicable and horribly tone deaf to the audience, but, given that I feel like such a story would've come out already, I'm…

Oh, I'm sure it helps. I was purely making a joke about it sharing a name with the movie that's coming out.

Like melting ice caps are pushing up sea levels and increased carbon dioxide is pushing up ocean acidity and rising temperatures are pushing tropical-disease-carrying pests into temperate climate zones!

See, your first problem is taking Valerian, which contains the sulky Delevingne additive. It's only exacerbating your problem.

It's just a contradiction!

No it isn't.

It turns out the corollary to Pascal's Wager is that it's still not worth making that bet if there's any economic consequence to increasingly dated but still incredibly rich industries built on fossil fuels.

Speaking of 24, is that new version of the show any good? Is it any more aware of why it's not necessarily super great to condone torture as an extremely effective way of acquiring reliable information or the use of lethal force or ignoring due process?
