I can see that. I've definitely been annoyed with that tendency in other shows before. I also got from the show that being "right," as in "correct" doesn't really get you that much in the end either, if that's all you've got going for you. It will be interesting to go back and watch the first season.

I just watched all of Season 2, without ever having watched Season 1. I found it interesting to go back and read the comments about that season, as this was a common complaint. As someone coming in fresh, I thought Rick was amazingly written. To me, his worldview was fairly simple, and that was, "Literally nothing…

I thought the same, she looked terrific. Also, her Wiz getup was muddying the waters a bit for me sexually. I didn't mind.

I had no idea! I will definitely look for it.

Yaaaay! I was so happy this was good! I was a rare and precious defender of Peter Pan, but this was legitimately good. I'm glad NBC didn't pull the plug on the whole idea, and hope they remember whatever lessons might be learned here for future productions. Mainly, cast for talent, not for stunt. The biggest surprise…

I really enjoyed it. I thought the vampires were all very distinct and well-developed personalities from the little time we spent with them, and yes, Moon was legitimately unnerving. I also really got a kick out of the Vampire King's whole gig. His mono-logging at the end was like a super intense version of a…

I am keeping up my tendency to pop in on threads long past their relevancy to declare my love of Princess Bubblegum, because my love of Princess Bubblegum MUST SIMPLY BE DECLARED. I love her so god damn much. There has never been a character like her anywhere, in any medium. She's such a great balance of bitchy,…

The sequence in the hub, and yes, especially the bit with the elevators, is what really sold me on this movie. For most if it, I was sort of like, "All right. I get what you're doing here. And I am mildly amused." But with all the monsters loose at once, I felt honestly, genuinely giddy. Like, I felt wonder. Like a…

As soon as the first pic appeared on screen, I was giggling in recognition, and my husband was shocked. "You know what this is!?" Well, yeah. I watched anime in college. All it takes is one trip down a google rabbit hole and you are well aware. I need to re-watch this episode, because I wasn't 100% focused on it. I…

As Peridot was mouthing off, I said out loud, "Also, Pearl is completely unhinged, and you are pushing every single one of her buttons." Poking a cobra there, girl.

I think its because he is literally the only one not in anyone's pocket. I think he is most compelling when he's talking about the dealings between businesses and politicians. Being on the business side of things, and being stupidly honest about the business side of things, really highlights a lot of what people hate…

I think the best point Caroline makes is that there's so much pressure on female characters precisely because there are so few. Same with people of color. It's frustrating, because it makes people nervous to even try. Mad Max vs. Avengers is a great example. Also, it didn't help Black Window's case that she had to…

Doesn't it make more sense to remake a movie that was terrible than one that's already beloved? If we're at a point where we are going for things like Guardians and Deadpool, I think we can live in a world with a funny-on-purpose Howard the Duck movie. It would be a world he never made, but a world that can still…

He's Jersey. It's how we communicate. Violent outbursts followed by sheepish apologies. I'm not saying this is charming or adorable, its just the general frequency in most of our family homes. Particularly, "Fuck you" or "Fuck off" or even "Fuck me" is a knee jerk response to displeasure. To love someone from Jersey,…

Serious question: Why does anyone of any notoriety post on Twitter? Has anyone once ever said to themselves, "Gee, my life and image has been greatly improved by that Tweet. So glad I did that." I feel like you are preaching to the choir in the best case scenario, and inviting a shit storm into your life at worst,…

I thought it was hilarious precisely because it was coming from a man. What they were saying wasn't something we haven't all said to each other a thousand times, but hearing it basically high-fived as some bad ass feat of nature from across the aisle felt very novel to me, and I thought it was awesome. Maybe I'm…

As brutal as that was, I kind of hope that Davos dies nobly in battle before having to learn about this. I don't want to see that scene. I wasn't particularly clamoring for this scene, but that would be somehow worse.

It was the key to his locker. The park had locker keys that came attached to little plastic bands that could go on your wrist or ankle. I noticed this, because it is much smarter than any other waterpark I have visited in reality.

There can be some nuance in the parties involved or the aftermath, but most any scenario will still boil down to one thing, and that is power. One character wanted to assert power, either over the specific person, or in general. Of course, there's a lot of ways for someone to assert power over someone else, which is…

A person can die in a story for a hundred different narrative reasons, in hundreds of different ways. A character death can mean a hundred different things, or even nothing at all. Rape is only ever about one thing. So on one hand, it's honestly fucking tedious that is used so often in stories (not just by this show,…
