I realize these folks are top talent, but it sure is nice to hear a company actually encourage a healthy work/life balance.

I feel pretty excited to see where this goes. I want to know who Claire is, what is happening in 1820, how did the Doctor, Yaz and Dan get to the Crimean War, what is happening to the TARDIS? This and more.

That was a common issue in the comics, that I knew would be even more exaggerated in a TV show, because mediocre TV shows have characters do stupid things constantly to manufacture drama.

The Cell

It’s wild how big podcasts have gone in just the past 2-3 years. I swear as late as 2017, the joke was that podcasts still all had the same five sponsors (Harry’s, Hello Fresh, Audible, that memory foam mattress company, etc). 

He’s one of the most interesting and calculating villain in ASoIaF and all we got in the series is just a skirt chasing lout.

I don’t want to open up GoT discourse, but “loved to hate” implies a well written villain. I thought the general consensus was that Euron (the show version) just kind of sucked?

Hespera, the divine foe that will face down Billy Batson (Asher Angel) in both his normal and superhero forms. Now Hecuba will be lent a hand by her sister Kalypso,

At this point, saying “Fan reaction to The Last Jedi was negative” is kind of like saying “fan reaction to Vader being Luke’s father was negative.” That’s technically true; some fans WERE negative about that. But they were a small minority who were dwarfed by the massive box office returns and positive critical…

Anyone who gets their royal knowledge from The Crown is an idiot though. S3 had Charles and Philip as misunderstood men struggling in their confined roles while S4 had both as increasingly maleovalent.

I doubt by default it was that minor. Nowadays in a properly run workplace in the UK if something gets to the stage of a written complaint of workplace bullying then it’s likely gone through several steps of informal attempts to deal with it, especially when that allegation includes the claimed role of said bullying…

Everyone misses that Lord of the Flies was written about a very specific kind of rich schoolboy and not as a metaphor for all of humanity. Mostly Golding hated the boys at the school he taught. 

Video doesn’t show because geoblocking, so .....

I’ll believe it’s actually happening when I see Agent 355 on my screen calling Yorick a dipshit, and not a moment sooner.

“I DON’T HAVE TO WEAR A MASK IF I DON’T WANT TO!!!”

I wish there were more stranded teen stories that looked to this real-life Lord of the Flies scenario: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/may/09/the-real-lord-of-the-flies-what-happened-when-six-boys-were-shipwrecked-for-15-months. Spoiler: The lost boys worked together, supported each other, and everybody lived.

As someone that regularly criticizes Disney for not taking any chances and making safe, predictable movies, I have to say that this at least looks kind of interesting compared to their usual output. I can’t say that I’m sold, but I could be convinced if the reviews are good.

So your main takeaway from her post is that she writes funny, not that there was some (at the least) creepy shit going on that they had to make a rule like that in the first place? She was like 14 years old.

A man sees the woman he loves imprisoned by a literal monster, raises a peasant army in an attempt to save her, and heroically dies in the attempt, and we call him a villain? Gaston is a goddamn tragic hero.

then-Gawker writer Ryan Tate also called Tim Cook the “most powerful gay man in America” when he took over as CEO in 2011. This was years before Cook came out himself via an open letter in 2014.
