Trump called this ruling "unprecedented judicial overreach". Unprecedented, you know, since the time they struck down his first ban.

Fun fact: in the early 90s, Jerome Flynn was one half of the pop duo Robson & Jerome. Their biggest hit was a cover of "Unchained Melody", but they also had a hit with a cover of "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted".

You haven't really addressed any of the things I mentioned. Not objecting to Paige being a Christian is fine, for example, but you've left out the bit where Paige's faith and her relationship with Pastor Tim has been irretrievably poisoned by her parents' demands that she report on him, and the constant emotional…

In literally everything she does? She's teaching her daughter to cut herself off emotionally from anyone that she might have a normal relationship with. She's already traumatized her so badly that she's demonstrating symptoms of PTSD. She's poisoned all of her outside relationships and sources of support. She is…

This isn't about anti-puritanism. If Elizabeth were genuinely expressing a permissive attitude about Paige's sex life, that would be fine. But what she was actually doing was what she always does - make everything in Paige's life about herself. When Elizabeth says "I don't care if you have sex", she's not saying "I…

There are so many ways that Elizabeth is a bad mother, but "I don't care if you have sex" has got to be near the top. Not that she should be telling Paige to keep her knees together, but a parent should care if their child is having sex. I mean, I get that Elizabeth and Philip are both basically professional…

OK, but you get that that's not even remotely the same as what this episode is describing? The gap between "substandard and perhaps inedible" and "poisoned" is incredibly wide. And the implication in this episode is that the US is developing a pest that would destroy Russian crops, which I've never even seen…

Before this show ends, I really need Elizabeth Jennings to die in a fire. If Paige lights the match, that would be a welcome bonus.

I refuse to believe that Elizabeth Jennings, of all people, wouldn't draw the shower curtain all the way. Who does she think is going to clean up that wet floor, the maid?

I liked pretty much all of the character stuff in this episode: Nate and Amaya having grown-up problems in their relationship, and possessing enough maturity to at least apologize when they don't deal with those problems well; Nate and Hank's friendship, and how it's grown since their first meeting; Ray and Eobard's…

Considering that Iron Fist is leading into The Defenders, which will feature Danny Rand, while SHIELD is being ignored by every other part of the MCU, including ABC itself which is making an Inhumans show that ignores SHIELD and its Inhuman characters' existence, I'd say that the black sheep trophy is absolutely not…

Dexter was wildly popular, though, and only increased in its ratings every year.

There literally hasn't been a creative decision made on this show that I haven't found completely baffling, and which didn't seem utterly preventable if anyone had just given a fuck. This whole show screams "write-off".

Then don't watch it.

If they did, it was phenomenally stupid to have held those episodes back and only given the critics the first six to review from. I haven't seen this kind of negative consensus since Batman v Superman.

I guess I'm a bit dubious about the whole idea of transcending the superhero genre. Superheroes are an inherently limited concept, which demands a fairly simplified world in order to work (as evidenced by all the superhero movies last year that tried to imagine what a real world with superheroes in it would look like…

Dahmer killed a couple friends of mine

So I watched the first two episodes of Time After Time this weekend, and I'm pretty sure this is veering more towards The Following-style Kevin Williamson. I mean, you can have a fun time travel romp, or you can have a show that lovingly lingers over a serial killer stalking and dismembering his victims, but I don't…

The biggest issue there is that the film ends with Magneto as a semi-good guy, which is surely absurd given what he did only a few scenes earlier.

I enjoyed it a lot more than it objectively deserved, mainly, I think, because I watched coming off like two months of movies that took superheroes very seriously and tried, god help us, to make a coherent case for their role in a democratic political system. Apocalypse just blows shit up, and at that point that was…
