This show has become such a treat. The case-of-the-week has rarely been my favorite bit of the show since, to me, they feel secondary to the character relationships and how they develop. But this one struck the right balance between interesting case and character development. Seeing Chloe awkwardly proposition Lucifer

Dr. Linda's probably a good shot of making it to heaven or the Silver City equivalent. Hell, she's communing with heavenly beings and giving them advice on how to be good. That basically makes her a saint.

Either way would rub Lucifer the wrong way, which is the genius of it.

I'm guessing it uses a code to unlock access to the penthouse?

Think this means we can get Enlisted back? Or is that too clever a show?

John Wick, yo.

Ah, UnREAL. Odds on it recovering after that second season finale?

*goes on a rant about Stadium Arcadium's merits as a full length album as compared to their earlier output*

It forked me up, man. Michael is one of the best characters to come out of these new shows, and him being revealed as an evil genius was genuinely shocking. I kept thinking: "What if it's a bad place meant for like, rehabilitation?" But nope, he was just toying with them. I wonder, though, if next season might not be

Christ, I remember having to sing that song in elementary school. This was right around 2001, when it gained a sudden resurgence. I remember hating it then. Seeing it performed in 20-goddamn-17 is astounding.

Melania looks like she just got back from poisoning an ambassador.

The Trump Administration has created a separate but equal section where he can sit all by himself.

Way to go, 'Ye. Way to go. And I was just listening to The College Dropout earlier today. What the hell happened?

Mighty Thor is one of those books I wish I liked more than I do. I love the art something fierce. But it's obviously one of those books meant to be taken in as a trade. Month to month, it's not satisfying. Plus, I wish Aaron would do more with Jane as a character because right now: she's just sort of going from

Well, it's not Galavant.

I mean, burning everything down and killing us all might help usher in a more advanced species a few millennia down the road.

Betsy Devos is going to ruin the educations of millions of children. I can't imagine the havoc her policies will cause in poverty-stricken school districts like my home town's. I sincerely fear for those kids' futures.

Patrick Warburton's a delight. I knew he was talented. I've enjoyed him for years in his various roles. But there's something about his turn on this show that is just truly special. He's at turns world-weary, romantic, depressed, and light-hearted. He feels larger than life as a narrator while also feeling very, very

The show actually doesn't fully come into its own until the last two episodes, unfortunately. Patrick Warburton is stellar from the first scene, but the rest of the main cast doesn't quite gel until later on. I would also say that the show finds itself the exact moment that it steps beyond the content that the movie

Carrey's Count Olaf is often maligned by fans of the books, which I find strange. I remember finding Olaf menacing from the get-go. He feels manic and over-the-top because of all the homicidal, evil energy he's trying to keep inside of him. His look, too, is one I like better than NPH, who I find is doing a grand job,
