Nah, I'd still think it was pointless even if it was a full A. Because honestly I don't need a glorified teaser trailer for the weekly reviews. It's just for hype. And in this case they're trying to build fake tension in the form of "Oh no! The critically acclaimed prestige drama that could do no wrong if it actively

Season 3, by contrast, is almost better not binged. Each episode is like a four-course meal (maybe not "I See You", but that was the only semi-mediocre egg of the bunch).

Season 3 was better than Season 4, but of the couple of failings Season 4 had (a tad too much wheel-spinning), none of them were related to Gus Fring.

As someone who thought that the only time Donna Bowman gave a bad grade was when she gave a B to "Five-O" rather than the full A because it was connected too much to Breaking Bad rather than Better Call Saul, I don't think I'm going to have a problem with Gus Fring coming back and taking up some (much-earned)

The metaphor wasn't complete though, because they didn't include the death of Superman (that wouldn't come until the 90's, with different writers involved). And I truly believe Siegel intended him as a metaphor for the experience of immigrants to America far more than he intended him as a metaphor for Christ.

That's all well and good, and I suppose I'll grant that the Lewis quote isn't actively insulting, though I'll still say it's patronizing as fuck.

Superman was created by a Jewish writer and a Jewish artist, both immigrants, just as World War II was breaking out and Jews in Europe were becoming more and more persecuted in the buildup to the holocaust. It's about as far away from a Christian parable as you're likely to find.

You really don't see why it might be insulting to tell an entire group of people "You have no ability to make sense of the world because you don't see it the way I do"?

And the unspoken second half of that sentiment is that, if we follow this logic to its conclusion, those who do not believe in Christianity have no ability to make sense of the world.

This movie actually used "Carry On, My Wayward Son"? As a diehard Supernatural fan, I am terribly offended. Ironically enough, Supernatural's interpretation of God and the biblical canon is roughly 80x better (and truer to the altruism religious faith has always ostensibly stood for) than anything Pure Flix will ever

I believe McMaster way more than I believe Tillerson. Tillerson is running his entire fucking department all by himself and couldn't find his own ass with two hands and a blueprint.

I actually laughed quite a bit at Ledger's jokes in The Dark Knight. I know his take was super horrifying, but I also thought he *was* legitimately funny. Of course, maybe the fact that I laughed for a full minute at the 'pencil trick' says more about me than it says about The Dark Knight…

Mark Hamill by a country mile. By a thousand country miles. There's no competition, not even from Ledger. That voice of his IS the Joker. It just is. Look me in the eye and tell me you don't immediately hear Hamill laughing when you picture the Joker.

Hey, how did you hack into the White House and find their 2020 re-election slogan?

Oh, I misunderstood, I thought you meant he just destroyed it today.

I don't actually think his approval rating is going to get any better. Unless something really spectacular happens, I don't see it getting anywhere close to 50% for the remainder of however long he stays in office.

Mitch McConnell destroyed the United States Senate on January 21, 2009 when he said it was his new goal in life to make Barack Obama a failed President. It's been destroyed.

Pretty delicious watching Trump's once-core demographic eat him alive, is it not?

You're absolutely right, we should have never let what Saddam did go by unpunished. I'm under no allusions that Trump will make a zero-tolerance policy against anything except common sense though, so for now I'm seeing this as ever so slightly a win.
