Chose this week and last to binge The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. After knowing little to nothing about the show other than the three main leads (Brosnahan, Borstein, and Shalhoub), premise, and that it won a shit-ton of awards, I’m very pleasantly surprised. Didn’t know Jane Lynch was going to be a semi-regular. She’s good

I agree. If they could walk by a photo or picture of their “humans” and reveal them as giant ogres ... that would go a long way toward helping the audience understand that not only is this not on Earth, but it’s in some weird-ass parallel universe. It would help explain the space ship at the end. I mean, I get it;

I think there’s something digitally wrong with the actors in Cats with their foreheads. If you reimagine the actors back out of their "costumes" they all have 15% shaved off their frontal lobes. Just that little bit is enough to cause the viewer to gut-react "there's something horribly wrong with this group of

It does indeed get better and better. I watched through #4 tonight and must now stop because my brain is full. Ep 3 & 4 are batshit. I left number 4 thinking A) They could break at any moment to reveal Fred Savage in bed having The Witcher read to him by his grampa. B) I need to do a rewatch now to decipher some

Yes!!

If they had stopped with TLJ - the barn sweeping-kid with force-power ... it would make for a good ending. Leia would forever be alive. Just sayin’.

Come on over to The Expanse, the air is fi- i- ... (ack) ... ... ... (gasp) ... ... the air lock ... ... (gasp) ... ...

I used to listen to WPR’s Old Time Radio rebroadcasts when I was a pizza-delivery guy. Not seeing Mando’s face just reminds me of those. The Mandalorian could be a 1940's radio play if only you had a narrator between scenes to say, “Meanwhile, in the volcanic black ash wasteland of Nevarro, our heros set up camp for

The snake episode cracked the top ten for sure.

Oh, just let them have their fun. I'm kinda happy knowing there are totally weird harmless people out there singing weird songs.

Just as Lori Blake was the lover of Doctor Manhattan, perhaps, so too will be the fate of Lube Man and Angela Abar. They seem like a natural fit.

They need a scene where everybody gathers at Maverick’s retirement party at a park where they’ve shoved together three picnic tables, everyone is grilling brats, they’re using ketchup bottles and beer cans to hold down napkins and plates so they don’t blow away, there’s bees, and Maverick’s three ex-wives, his

“Your tongue is chip-reading its Capital One Vantage Card in a way that doesn’t accrue double frequent flyer miles!”

Technically, according to Spectrum TV’s program guide, the Deadwood Movie was S4 episodes 1 & 2. If that counts here, I’d go with that.

I kept checking all night and The Expanse went up for me at 11pm cst. Just watched the first three eps. Bobbi Draper could have her own show. Hell, Drummer and Ashford could have their own show. Double Hell, Amos could have his own show. I love this show.

He can make it vibrate at different frequencies too. 

They might have “Hey we’re back alive!” cameos that bookend these getting-fried cameos, and ... add-in more. Hopefully, maybe. (?)

Even 5% more daemons would help the show 40% more. Just show that introverted people have their familiars hiding in their clothes, in the shadows, under their beds, etc. While extroverted people (like all our protagonists) have their daemons out and about. When the nurses burst in to the bunk house, just a quick shot

Shout out mention to the creepy sociopath nurse who, it turned out, was made mad by being severed from her daemon. Lyra put it together right at about the same time the viewer does. Great little scene in very action/creepy/setting specific episode. Favorite overall episode so far.
