This was more or less my point, but based on the movie, it seems more like Hill just doesn't want to lie when she's being directly asked a question about Thomas' abusive behavior in the workplace. She quite literally didn't want to make a federal case out of it, so she chose not to say anything at all, even when she…

I'm not talking about "prolonged sexual harassment" broadly, I'm talking specifically about what happened between Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill during a time when the concept of a "hostile work environment" didn't exist yet. The film belabors the point that Hill didn't want any parts of the whole thing and only…

I write about a lot of stuff, and if you find yourself disgreeing with a lot of what I write, it's probably because we have different taste. And that's okay! I think sometimes people assume that hating a show in print is fun, and it is sort of fun sometimes, but it's mostly unpleasant. I'd MUCH sooner write about a…

Isn't it so good? I'm dropping in on episode seven. We'll see what the traffic looks like.

To be fair, I've given two Cs this season. But generally speaking, trying to apply some kind of logic to someone else's grading, on this site or any other, is always going to drive you nuts.

I get the "under this set of facts" part, but why is this the nail in the coffin when the dead ends with Pete Decker and Dollar Bill were only temporary setbacks? It feels arbitrary, like the writers are selling an "all is lost" angle despite the fact that losing Donnie as a witness doesn't feel any more significant…

In an interesting point, and one I considered. If the Sam & Dave song had been used in a scene that emphasized the significance or meaning of the song in a way that the show has done before in a memorable moment, I would have assumed it was a callback. But the "taping pictures up" sequences are interchangeable, so it…

It's really too bad that we can't respectfully disagree. It's a television show, for God's sake.

I am indeed. I actually liked the first few episodes of the season, before the Rowan nonsense started back up. I'm not hate-watching at this point, but I am indifference watching. It's habitual, but I've withdrawn my investment.

If they claim Donnie has HIV I'm out. There's literally no such thing as a strain of HIV that requires more than two or three pills. Most people living with HIV only take one.

We watch as much as they'll give us in advance, which for network shows is often just the pilot. No other pre-air review you'll read is based on having seen more of the show than we have. The only difference is that we say how much of it we've seen so the reader can weigh the opinion accordingly.

That's what that song is about?!

This is fascinating because I've had the exact opposite experience. Devine and Grier come across to me like a real couple and Carmichael and Stevens feel like a sitcom couple.

I was referring to the Fuller House pilot, which I'd still consider a pilot since it's the first episode of a new show rather than a direct continuation of the old one. You're right about how they arrived at the 29 years later part, which totally didn't occur to me. It's rather confusing because Fuller House opens…

Aw man, I hate that I didn't think of Isaac Sirko. That's a great one. In my defense, I spent more time thinking about Dexter than can be reasonably expected of anyone.

I actually didn't have an issue with Wendy's nudity just because the scripts have made so many references to the crazy stuff Wendy does (flying to random, far-flung locations for example) to talk Bobby down off the ledge. It was an unreasonable thing for him to ask her to do, but considering the circumstances, I get…

Yup! Thanks.

I wish it weren't true, but the numbers are indeed dismal. The thing that most drove it home for me was when the CW president spoke at TCA Press Tour. Someone asked a question to the effect of "The live numbers for Crazy Ex haven't been great, but are there some other numbers or measurements that paint a better…

I'd still sound like a moron if I tried to explain a short squeeze in detail, but I think the episode did a good job of explaining it just enough that you understood the stakes even if the specifics were fuzzy.

I may do that. I'm covering it because I love the entire cast and was really looking forward to liking it, but it's not landing for me, obviously. That said, reading reviews that line up with your opinion isn't always as gratifying as you expect it to be.
