Friday can't get here fast enough. 

The Boys could have made the list, sure, but it was a slow burn introduce-the-characters-season. I give it points for being that. Really looking forward to season two. I think Watchmen is earning extra points for first, making a sequel worthy of the original; second, coming at it from a totally original angle; and

He’s been burned before. If Watchmen builds in want/need for a season 2, he’s within his rights to play coy. I hope HBO gives him & his team plenty of time to come up with a season 2 - two years or more if need be.

Westworld had to stop production and rewrite the back half of season one. Watchmen had no problems like that. True though, HBO is plenty capable of killing it's golden geese.

I hear tell that 6 episodes of The Expanse have been made available for critics to see, but yeah, even if it were awesome, we'll have to hope it's so awesome that it'll be remembered a year from now.

They way they went at the slut-dragon humor had the feel.of a South Park episode. That’s not nec a knock, but the escalation of the premise felt that way to me.

You could argue by this point in the bar (and for Angela's benefit) he already knew he was going to be Cal, so his voice and likeness were already there. 

Wanda Vision teases in the X-Men

Chicago bitches! Go see FEE LION the next time she plays original material. Girl is lightning in a bottle. She DJs frequently, but oh man!

I saw that in Milwaukee. Fan-tas-tic! 

Even when the Michael Keaton Batman and Toby Maguire Spider-man were in production, you’d hear producers and filmmakers quip “Get ‘em out of the mask!” You establish the mask, then have them take it off as much as possible. “We’re not paying George Clooney 24 million to hide his fucking face!”

“Mando, Lando. Lando, Mando."

Basically what you’re suggesting is that Katie (or AV editorial) could have tried something like, “Mando Pays a Visit to a Familiar Port of Call & gets some Me-Time.”

That was one of my favorite scenes: a wrinkle of social character development for the Tusken Raiders. 

Euphoria could qualify for a best ensemble award. All the teens, all the parents, and Rue's little sister - all tops.

Thanks. I'll be more open to watching it.

Also, I should add, I don’t care if they do, in fact, wrap it up this way. It’s the four-and-a-half shows of delicious cheese that build up to it, that really count. I’ll be watching and primed for extreme goofiness. 

Was “Sully” terrific? I skipped it.

“Let’s see. Skull ... Christmas Present ... Baseball”

Yup.
