Is it the same person wearing the bucket every time, or is the character of Lord Buckethead some kind of awesome crowd-sourced performance art that anyone can jump into? Asking for a friend.

This explains why people enjoy romantic tragedies so much.

> Maybe because Alec Berg worked on Seinfeld, where Larry David (IIRC) insisted that there should be NO "character growth" or anything similar, and maybe that's why SV keeps on resetting itself?

I'm baffled that Judge & Berg think being post-success can't be dramatically interesting, given that literally half of this show revolves around the drama of post-success tech and VC executives.

That notebook sounds horrifying. I'm glad this kid has you in his life.

I started going to movies alone when an Alamo Drafthouse opened up a couple of blocks from my house, and I'm still amazed at how much it's improved my life. My friends are all tired of superhero movies? Doesn't matter, I'm fine with seeing Wonder Woman by myself. This combination email thread/Doodle poll can't decide…

I would read this Onion article.

If this can go in an Orphan-Black-esque clone party direction, I'm in.

I think they made him a billionaire to echo the real-life Alexis Ohanian-Serena Williams romance (which, from the outside, is so improbably adorable that it's hard to fault them for wanting to write a fictional analogue).

I actually see the religious elements and the hypocritical elements as extremely intertwined. You can't have a large group of people be that evil together unless they honestly, truly believe they're doing the right thing, which is exactly the cover religion provides them.

I think we've been noticing for a while.

"I do not speak the backwards speech of kings…

Yeah, I don't understand why that couldn't have been live-action with some CG where needed (you know, like the rest of this show). I'm honestly surprised this board isn't more outraged about it.

But was an actual production company involved? It seemed like it was just this guy and his douchey friends.

YES! I'm surprised I had to get this far down the comments section to see someone bringing this up. Korra is definitely a flawed immature jerk, but it's hard to blame her for it when all the adults she's learning from are also immature jerks. Tenzin appears to have put zero effort into figuring out how to adapt his…

Maybe the reason the Handmaids are valuable is not because they're fertile, but because they're so psychologically broken down? We don't get to see what's happening in the rest of the world, but maybe they've been trying reasonable solutions and have come up against a problem where couples won't break up and/or women…

There have been plenty of annoying-brain plots in the past, but somehow none of them were quite as annoying as this one. Generally the writers do a good job of thinking "How would this weird character act if they were in Liv's situation and had her motivations" and writing accordingly, but this was much lazier than…

This is exactly how I feel about the script/actor tension on MoN too. Weirdly, I'm starting to think that this quality is actually something I really like — Seinfeld and Bunheads had it too, and they're two of the shows I rewatch the most.

Agreed, though he does get regular work in season 2 in a way that addresses this.

I haven't even seen Bicycle Thieves (though I could tell he was paying homage to something) and something about the nonchalant way he put his bike down made me absolutely sure it was going to get stolen.
