yeah, i can see what you mean, but i also thought it was darkly funny.

her best friend was severely damaged by being dumped in the ocean. if she's ok with killing anybody, it's lying, murderous, uber-nazi ward.

all fair.

harmon's always reverent/antagonistic to talented, attractive people. the antagonism is always played for self-deprecating laughs though. it's like "god damn that guy for being handsome AND funny. it's not fucking fair to fat assholes like me."

does "literally implicit" strictly make sense?

what was the hint about bullseye? i've heard people mention it, but i missed it in the show.

VEEP is a show where it's impossible to pick an MVP. dunn is so consistently enjoyable to watch, obviously, but then gary cole whips out a sparkling comedy pause or a reading like last week's "if you like". and then dan pulls jonah's "surprised masturbator" face or amy stares bemused when her notes-to-self are played…

i was panicking too! i thought that hugh laurie was going to be brought in as the new ben. i'm so glad he's sticking around.

i had the same reaction as you to ben's joke, but what i liked about the scene is that even gary cole was like "dude, no."

great comment. it's frustrating to see people treat child acting as if it's some kind of inherently risky practice — and even more frustrating to see people knee-jerk link a young guy's suicide with his role onscreen. i said it upthread too; reacting to "just another child-star's suicide" is so trivialising.

i have to say, this is a nonsense and irrational overreaction. of course it might be a jokey exaggeration but i'm going to respond as if it isn't.

i don't get this criticism of joss's kill-streak. he doesn't kill characters everyone loves for no reason; EVERY death has consequences, a realistic place in that character's personal arc (with the exception maybe of tara?) and real dramatic weight. pick a joss whedon death, and it's probably hard to think of the…

i just saw it.

i love it so much more now that i have to wait between episodes. i binged 1 and half of 2 till i was caught up. the forced smaller portions are so good for the show in that they make you savour it, instead of barrelling through plot.

is that something you just made up, or do you have a source? because a kamala khan spinoff sounds completely wonderful, in a too-good-to-be-true kind of way.

i completely agree with you on almost everything. binge-watching and the netflix "dump" release model are not good for quality TV engagement.

i love them all so much.

the complaint that you can't see anything (legitimate, but i think misguided, since that's the intent) is different to the complaint that lighting is BAD (totally untrue and if anyone says this they have no idea what good lighting is).

unless otherwise noted, MCU material is assumed to happen in "the present", which is closely related to the actual present. they're in order, roughly speaking — or, at least, if some things happen around the same time (IM2, Norton Hulk and Thor specifically), in the same bracket between major earth-changing events,…

also, it seems like may never told anyone what the girl could do.
