Winstead was the take-away revelation of S3. If I do a rewatch, it would be for her.

Thank you. Dammit. I hate that i got that wrong.

Did they biggie-size Jeff Daniels to play Comey? I mean, I know Daniels is like 6 or 6'1" but he’s not basketball player tall like Comey. In a weird way I was wondering if this is a production preview of how they plan to shoot She-Hulk.

I binged Doom Patrol S1 & S2 last week and found myself in love (along with every character on the show - and, obviously, every writer in the writer’s room) with Gary the Street. Both Gary the Street and Lovecraft Country have utilized this new(ish) trope of the “Healing Magic Drag Show.” It worked really wonderfully

Tic’s portal led him to a 2016 Barnes and Noble.

The guy’s death had a shade of plot contrivance. If he didn’t die, then he might have ID’d Annie (and Butcher? Is he still on the news or did the CIA stop that manhunt a few episodes ago?) no matter how the encounter had gone down. So, script-wise... he had to die.

Naw, Beck’s McConnell is solid to great. It’s a crime that they don’t have someone to do Hannity, Limbaugh, or Alex Jones.

Is it industry standard to renegotiate contracts after 5 years and then every year after that? Flash just had a really hard time with this. CW has a business model that doesn’t favor pay raises, I suspect.

Ji-Ah certainly is a fox.

It reminded me of Westworld S2 in that it’s best episode also concerned filling in the story of a background character. There it was Akecheta’s origin story. Here it’s Ji-Ah.

Gilpin: “Do you want to hear me play my invisible flute?”

Lake Bell is excellent. Ivy -IS- the show. I found it a nice surprise at the end of S2 that, in a way, Harley realized it too. It makes for a better dynamic that Harley got there first—out in front of their blossoming relationship—and is pulling for them to be a couple. Harley grew by realizing Ivy is a fucking catch.

I like John Oliver, he hits news hard enough that he’s a better news show than most news shows. His big pieces would work on 60 Minutes if 60 Minutes were two hours long and allowed copious f-bombs. (Like a raunchy Andy Rooney)

How many Tom Petty instrumental tracks are there where he’s not singing? It’s just rare and sweet. Walls is such a good song, its no wonder he recorded several versions of it and did it a variety of different ways live. I know only part of this soundtrack is included in the above mentioned box set, but I thought I’d

Now playing

This is “Walls” done as a mini instrumental.

I agree. And on that subject, Seth has written some decent-to-great episodes of The Orville. So I tend to give him the benefit of the doubt and argue that he is developing at the normal rate of any hard working Hollywood guy, neither genius nor dipshit. His good material to bad material ratio is consistently and modera

Or... since Montrose whacked the woman as a shock ending to episode 4. He may get his head blown off as a shock opening to Episode 6. Bada-bip Bada-bop -- horror bookend. Who knows.

This was pretty good. I had a horror flash back to Hellraiser and the body horror involved with Frank growing his skin back. ... or back skin.

I just binged season 2 as well. I’m in a window where I’m switching up my cable situation and find myself with HBO Max for the time being. I was planning on dropping HBO altogether, but since it’s here... I may just plow through all the Studio Ghibli’s I haven’t yet seen, watch all of Doom Patrol, Perry Mason, and

Atlantis is discovered and genocided within the same month
