I'm glad the show is going to focus a bit on Laurie. Amy Brenneman is kind of a big name actress (arguably the biggest name cast member when the show premiered) and it would have been overall disappointing for her specifically if she had been sidelined ever since being a prominent character in season 1.

Sorry, "Sex Workers" and "SAG" should not ever appear in the same sentence. They should adjust that in their contracts.

They're contractually obligated to appear in two HBO shows per years. It's a sex-workers/SAG thing.

I like Jost too, but people always hate the second guy on the scene.

Maybe you're right. In my memory they're all wearing the ponytail and leather jacket combo.

I haven't heard it said explicitly anywhere yet, but does Beck Bennett's commercial director guy have a name yet? It's been kind of stealth, but I think he's a recurring character: Pepsi Ad, Pepsi Ad sequel, Olive Garden commercial director, Last night's Lighthouse Ad pitchman… Any others?

Also not as harsh, but I did start out thinking, "Oh, here's the requisite skit where McCarthy gets punished by/ punishes herself with food." But at least it was kind of The Pie Skit to End All Pie Skits. The compressed air blaster got used during a previous Spicy Skit (maybe it's​ Melissa's!) so, that's a little…

Oh that's what that was, I thought he had a band aid on his head.

Meet Me in St Louis, maybe. It's got all the holidays covered.

Grimest G Rated movie ever.

Keef Wichards ov de Woah-wing Stoonz.

Finally saw it last night, I had the same reaction. The first half is all Drax, and the second half was all Yondu. Not that that's a bad thing. In fact it makes the movie more of a match to the original, as Drax and Yondu had less comparative screen time in Vol 1.

I read that in John Oliver's voice for some reason.

Oh, and my sister sat down next to me some 20 years ago, to watch this cartoon I was in love with. It was the "Tooth Beaver" episode of Ren and Stimpy. After the nerve-endings and stinky tooth holes sequences, she got up, ran to the bathroom, and puked. I felt that was awesome.

Hey! Hardcore Henry simpatico! My son went through a shitty action movie phase between ages 12 and 15. I basically said yes to everything he wanted to see. (I've since adopted a two-for-you one-for-me policy that since has resulted in awesome picks Lost City of Z and Hell or High Water and the gratification of my…

They realized they needed a hedge against the possibility that Inhumans might tank. I hope they realize that not only has AoS turned into a great show, it is the best action show on all of the original Big 4 networks.

Ted Danson, Patrick Wilson, and Bokeem Woodbine (maybe the whole cast) had a gravitas that this season doesn't. This season is more cartoony. The tonal shift may be on purpose.

The man's synapses aren't synapting.

Fitz and Ophelia's footprints in the sand getting washed away gave me an "Uh-oh, Foreshadowing" feeling.

Wasn't he supposed to be at his Navy Reserve thing? Or was that a Wednesday Navy Reserve engagement? Do reservists get to do their service midweek? I always thought it was a weekend gig. Unless it's one of the big two week drills… maybe I'm wrong.
