I think Peggy's somewhat self-absorbed, certainly, but if she really didn't care about anyone else she would have skipped town as planned in episode 5.

Likewise.

To clarify, it's recently been added to Netflix streaming as well. Great stuff. The main character's not the greatest guy in the world but he's got enough of a decent streak to be a charming and engaging protagonist and always just that one step ahead of total disaster.

I really dug Go and have watched it multiple times but I never realized that was Olyphant. Holy shit.

Getting new, popular movies is probably the least valuable way they could spend their money as far as I'm concerned. If I'm really that excited about a movie, chances are I can either go see it in the theater or rent it individually from a Redbox or whatever once it's out on disc. TV series aren't great rentals…

I don't understand how anyone could come out of Serial 100% convinced in either direction about whether Adnan did it. There's simply too many questions left at the end. I can sort of understand how someone could end up believing he probably did it, but certainty? Really? (I'm on the "probably didn't do it" side of the…

Ehhh. Episode 1 was batshit crazy and left me wondering what the hell was going on. The fact that episode 2 seemed determined to lay out in painstaking expository detail what the hell was going on is not a plus in my book.

I'm a little sad because it was more enjoyable than a spinoff of a pretty bad movie nobody cared about ought to have been (though, alas, sans the only actor worth watching in the original movie, i.e. Paul Bettany). But that was a real shaky foundation on which to build a series, so I'm honestly amazed it got two…

I haven't looked at a Playboy in years but it was a lot like that back in the 90s and early 00s when I last did, and I imagine nothing much changed in the interim. It's one reason I lost interest in it as a porn vector pretty rapidly, because their tastes in women weren't all that similar to mine or all that varied.…

I was really frustrated by his decision to ditch the benefit. As they very specifically questioned which suit he needed to wear, I was pulling for the next shot to be Ollie arriving at his party in tux, having realized that there are times he can accomplish more in his civilian identity and this is one of them, seeing…

I'm sure subsequent seasons have revealed it, but apparently in the comics the ultimate leader of the mercenaries on the island was China White. I'm guessing that's true here as well.

Wu made it pretty clear that there's pigs down that road. Hungry ones.

Man, that whole Lucy and Thack thing is a dozen different kinds of fucked up. I sort of want to root for them because despite Thack's many flaws, I find him compelling and I really like Lucy's determination, caring, and ability to think on her feet. But of course, first of all the power dynamic is a big problem. It's…

Did you genuinely think they weren't coming, or were you just too impatient to wait? Because, you know, the presence of Arrow seasons 1 and 2 strongly implied Flash and season 3 of Arrow would be along at some point.

No, but the point wasn't that they're bad, just that they're different from the source material.

Blade Runner is awesome. It's also not a very faithful or representative adaptation of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, the original Dick novel, which is the point of bringing it up.

Edwards absolutely isn't treated as an equal in that party scene. He's treated civilly, and without the overt and poisonous racism we see in his interactions at the hospital. But there's still a distance, and even the Captain, who invited him and seems to have treated him as a personal project, still makes no bones…

A very, very belated correction:

Oh, the racism absolutely plays a factor - viewers may recall that Thackery was surprised when Edwards turned out to be black and made very pointed comments to that effect. I suspect Thackery might not have been as completely shitty about it if Edwards wasn't being forced on him, though, as he was unhappy with the…

Tell Me You Love Me is on Go now. As are John from Cincinnati and Luck, neither of which were there at one time. Weird.
