I didn't like that episode much, actually. That monologue was just a little too much, and I really felt bad for the woman (Alexandra Daddario!). That and "Frank's Brother" were probably my least favorite of the series.

That 'sew it back on your head like a unicorn horn' was also a line in Spy!

It was good to see a Nick-Cece plot. They're a solid underrated pairing.

I've always felt like the fantastical moments in the show are more indicative of Josh's perspective than anything else (even if they are technically actually taking place in the world). So I thought of Kyle as Josh's worst nightmare, the guy he imagines being able to sexually satisfy his girlfriend when he can't.

I guess it probably takes a long time to shoot Sense8. According to Wikipedia, a separate shoot began on December 30 to capture some Christmas scenes in Berlin, but most of the shooting won't be until March.

It was probably the weakest season, but not by much for me. Some of those subplots really sneak up on you, like Black Cindy's conversion and Soso's depression. The final episode was pretty amazing.

That's a really good point. Maybe it's not the kind of story that translates to screen well. A Netflix series does seem like the best way to do it, though, if they are.

I did, and good point, but I just get the sense that them casting him specifically means they're trying to channel the comedic side instead of his darker side again. I do definitely think NPH is capable, I'm just worried about what they're aiming for in casting him.

I don't know about this. I like NPH, but this seems to indicate that there'll be a pretty strong comic vibe to the character, and one thing I found lacking about the original ASoUE movie was Jim Carrey's entirely comedic portrayal. I just can't see the handsome, charming NPH being truly frightening and disturbing.

I loved The Austere Academy (OMG I accidentally typed 'Auschwitz Academy' at first) because it introduced the Isadoras and VFD. I also loved The Vile Village and The Slippery Slope because there was a lot of plot movement in those (from what I recall), whereas books like The Miserable Mill and The Penultimate Peril

I didn't think Josh was being too "annoying faux-liberal white guy" - the idea of Mort 'dying' did seem pretty politically incorrect at first, and I think that's why The Danish Girl has attracted a lot of controversy. I do think, though, that Buzz was hitting an important point. I do hope next season returns a bit to

I've actually found him more sympathetic this season. Last season he was frequently annoying, but his negative qualities stood out more because I didn't know him as well. Now that I know him and am generally invested in the character, I can usually get over his more annoying tendencies.

"Let's just drop it."

That's my favorite line of the episode.

Yeah, I good see a logical end point, but I'm just not sure what storylines they can do with many of the other characters in the years between now and the finale. I generally have faith in them, though.

Still enjoying this show a lot, so this is cool, but I am starting to wonder if there's an end point in mind. Not sure how long it can go on.

"Your dumb bitch of a mother could."

I enjoyed the books, but they're really not suited to this format, especially if it's as convoluted and rushed in exposition as the reviews make it out to be. Can't we just leave it as a book?

This movie shouldn't exist and I don't want to see another actor play Han Solo, but Ansel Elgort is by far the best from this list. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I care about these characters more than most characters on TV (and I watch a lot of TV). I feel like they're my family, complete with the you're-such-an-annoying-dick-but-I-love-you moments.
