    I sure hope my obituary doesn't spend half its length describing something that happened because a coworker fucked up.

    Kelly's house looked pretty big and expensive, and she apparently had full-time in-home nursing care. We don't know as much about Yorkie's situation, but I'm going with the idea that the San Junipero experience is very expensive and only wealthy people are able to afford the trial visits and permanent storage after

    And if they are just computer programs that speak and act like Kelly and Yorkie, then that means the real Yorkie never knew about Kelly's husband and daughter and the real reason she didn't plan on passing over. Also, it means that the living Kelly was married to the software Yorkie for a brief period of time, and

    But that raises the question — once someone becomes a full-timer, are they stuck in 1987 (or 2002 or 2013) forever? It definitely seemed like Yorkie could only go to one time period per trip.

    It's only hinted at throughout the episode, but there's a fair amount of evidence that the residents of San Junipero eventually do get bored with all the partying to 80's tunes. There were all kinds of freaky things going on at that other club on the edge of town, but is that really the solution to frustration with a

    I think Head Carrier is about as good as anyone could reasonably expect from the band in 2016. There was really no way for them to produce an album that anyone would consider part of the canon — even before the first studio session, there was the reality that Kim Deal is no longer in the band and the original members

    I think that initial Hannibal Buress bit, which brought Cosby's true nature to our attention, completely nailed the reason Cosby was always so judgmental of others. He was a rapist piece of shit who sold himself as America's Dad, and he knew that about himself, so he always had to project immorality onto everyone

    I think Comedy Central shouldn't have given Wilmore the job if they expected a Colbert-like social media juggernaut. Before Jay Leno left the Tonight Show for the second time, the Stewart/Colbert hour was actually beating him in the demo (while securing far fewer overall viewers). But once Jimmy Fallon introduced

    Because reality shows are cheap to produce and get good ratings.

    I could practically feel the suits breathing down Ayer's neck while I was watching the movie. I'm guessing that his cut is more tonally consistent and probably did a better job of explaining the plot, but some of the problems on the screen — the total lack of development for half the squad, the baffling character

    I always just assumed the Joker had raped Barbara. He's trying to make Gordon go insane, why stop at just naked pictures? The artwork goes to such lengths to obscure what's actually in the pictures that I think rape was a reasonable assumption.

    Also, the point of the disguise was to get close to the disgusting Walder Frey, who makes drooling catcalls at any attractive much younger woman in sight, even if she's a king's wife or a close relative. Arya could have disguised herself as anyone, but she didn't choose to become a hairy middle-aged blacksmith or an

    I don't think Cersei was planning on offing Tommen either, but obviously the producers know something about how the story will turn out before Cersei does. She's dressed like a king before the Sept explodes because they know they're ending the episode with Cersei seizing the Iron Throne after Tommen's suicide, even

    The whole bit with Howland Reed at the Tower of Joy is just there to establish that he knows the truth about Jon. Since Ned would have walked babyless into the tower and then walked out a few minutes later with a baby, he could not have pretended it was his own bastard when explaining to Reed. So there is exactly one

    I predict that some beloved celebrities will die in 2017, though.

    After seeing just how soft of a push Kim needed to break bad and act as Jimmy's consiglieri, I'm pretty certain one of Jimmy's schemes is going to get her disbarred, and that she will deserve it.

    The show was originally marketed as loosely autobiographical based on Dunham's experiences, and a surface reading supported that early on, but it's become increasingly clear that this is a satire of entitled millennials and that we are not actually supposed to identify with any of these characters.

    Ray did try to avoid being mouth raped by Hannah. But on the other hand we have no indication that he's gotten any action since the last time he slept with Marnie, over a year earlier. So I think he can be forgiven for not fighting too hard.

    I saw a Jared Fogel resemblance, honestly.

    Well, he basically yanked the earrings off Marnie's ears. It's not clear the robber even wanted the earrings. That was pretty cowardly. Let the robber tell you what to hand over.
