I'm buying it, just saying that Fran isn't as together as he appears if he didn't run away from the million red flags hanging off Hannah. He initially tried to, but at the same time he's attracted to the ridiculous chaos surrounding her at all times. This suggests he has all kinds of repressed immature impulses and…

My girlfriend and I are expecting our first child in October and we both thought it was pretty funny. The joke isn't that the baby might die, it's that the parents are so committed to their hippie bullshit that they risk death rather than seek medical attention until the last minute (she because she's crazy, he…

Fran can't have it too together if he was still open to a relationship with Hannah after the shit she pulled on their first date.

I get that, and I agree that this is exactly what the writers were going for. But I'm not buying it for two reasons.

Oh I know — I was venting at Gabriel, not at you. Seriously, this was one of the more infuriating TV scenes I've sat through at a while. Gabriel is so cartoonishly ungrateful in this scene, and without any obvious benefit to himself, that I had difficulty buying things from his point of view. He's already the only…

They didn't just take him in, they've saved his life dozens of times. Exactly what horrible atrocity did Rick's group commit that has Gabriel clutching his pearls? Is he talking about that time they killed a bunch of cannibals who literally broke inside his church to cook and eat everyone inside, including Gabriel…

I get that viewpoint and I don't want to dismiss anyone who was offended by the scene, but I think there are a few mitigating factors. One is that the character only appears in two brief scenes — doesn't any tertiary character in a movie exist as a prop to provide insight into a more important character? If they had…

This article made me appreciate this scene a lot more, and I actually now think it's a highlight of the movie and not at all problematic. On first viewing, my impression was this was a mildly clever inversion of the White Savior trope — in this case, Mom performs the stock act of inspiring the itinerant worker to…

I think Aaron was only following them for about a week or so. Did Carol do anything particularly badass in the couple of episodes before he made contact? I don't think Aaron got to see her singlehandedly take down Terminus.

When it comes to long-gestating sequels like this, fans always really want something that's impossible — in the Ghostbusters example, they want a sequel to the original made in 1986 with all the cast members looking exactly the way they did in the original, with similarly hokey stop-motion effects and matte paintings…

I think Deanna has the right idea, which is that too much of the Alexandria population has been living a very sheltered existence inside the walls. She understands that if the community is going to survive they need a few more Ricks and Michonnes, although she seems a little naive regarding her ability to control a…

So Rick hasn't had sex in almost two years, right? He barely seemed to be getting it on with Lori before she died, and Judith isn't even his baby.

Carol is crafty. She could show the badass who has killed at least three people in cold blood, or she could show a defenseless housewife who just looted Talbot's. Nobody in Alexandria is going to suspect Carol of being up to something, but she's up to something from the moment she walks in.

If he wasn't able to hack it they could have just fed him to the zombies. But he continues to do great work. I was also totally sold on the idea that he was so transformed by his experiences on the outside that being asked to hang out and play video games would generate great anxiety. And to his credit, Chandler…

Kind of, but the movie makes no mention of Laurie's orphaned daughter Jamie (who features in Halloween 4-6). It's hard to believe that Laurie would fake her death to escape Michael Myers, but completely abandon her daughter, especially considering that all three of those erased movies involve Michael trying to kill…

Halloween H20 also disregarded all of the Halloween sequels after Halloween 2, before it was followed up by an even shittier sequel that nobody remembers and the entire series was rebooted by Rob Zombie. The Freddy movies did this sort of thing so many times that it's never clear which movies exist within the canon of…

[mild comic spoilers] Yeah, the group is still in Alexandria in the comics, but that's because this episode marks the end of the tedious formula where Rick's group finds a sanctuary, gets comfortable, gets a little too comfortable, and then has to leave after a zombie attack. I don't want to spoil where the story…

Fine, so he's in his mid-to-late-30's in the "present" of Better Call Saul. How does he have a brother who totally looks like he's well into his 60's? At a certain point it becomes biologically impossible for them to be brothers.

It's definitely unusual — my grandma had her first child at 18, and had my dad at 43 after losing a toddler to measles (side note: vaccinate your kids). It's also possible that Jimmy and Chuck are half-brothers with different moms.

If we make Saul about 50 when he meets Walter White, then he's 44 in 2002. Chuck is McKean's actual age of 67, and there's a 23-year age gap between them (definitely not impossible, my dad had a brother who was 25 years older than him). Their interaction suggests a big age gap, with Jimmy treating Chuck as more of…
