Reminds me of Patton Oswalt’s priceless takedown of prequels. “Hey, you like ice cream? Well here’s a bag of rock salt! You like Angelina Jolie? Here’s Jon Voight’s nutsack.”

I was certainly surprised by the inclusion of Tom Bombadil.

I love how “treat people respect and leave them the fuck alone when they live their lives differently from yours” is classified as a “latest memo” that people need time to digest. lol

It’s a good thing to say, actually. Did not enjoy any of your comment.

That is a comprehensively accurate description of jordan peterson and his followers, sorry to break it to you.

I’ll echo some of the other comments that I feel like the character arcs (with the possible exception of Roman becoming more and more vicious as the show goes on) are becoming a bit repetitive and need to start heading toward an endgame if the show is really only going to run for 4 (maybe 5) seasons as the showrunners

My breaking-point came in the second episode when Jackson interrupted the recording of ‘Dig a Pony’ for a 20-minute CGI chase sequence around Laketown.

We really not talking about Greg & Tom’s scene in the compliment tunnel?! That was one of the funniest scenes of the season, if not the series.

Greg successfully asking out Comfry, and then looking down on Shiv exercising her demons via dance is the greatest moment in television this year. The rest of this episode tied my insides in knots. It’s so sad, and also fuck all these people. :)

I feel like we are getting somewhere in the slow burn with Tom/Shiv/Greg. Shiv knows more every week that she can’t go anywhere at Waystar. Shiv and Tom have lost all rapport with each other, their sex life is marred by a complete lack of trust after the babytrapping, and they may be near a point where Logan ends up

I just want to tip my hat to HBO dollars spent very well. First using Hudson Yards and The Shed for part of the party set as well as other locations to pull off a singularly wretched display of excess wealth in the guise of a party. That it turned out to be one of the circles of Hell Dante could only dream about for

I don’t know about that. But I will admit, I was legit nervous during that last scene on the balcony.

Rava’s ideal birthday is the best birthday. End of discussion, full stop.

I haven’t read the books, but I wonder whether the fact that the show is a more conventional fantasy epic might actually help it out. If it were just a GoT clone, then people might get sick of it since they already had enough grit and grime over seven seasons.

Considering episodes 1-3 were launched simultaneously, I’d say episode 4 is the key one. Personally, I’m looking forward to ep. 4 as I thought the episodes got better as they went on. There was some necessary exposition, but I think it’s got some legs now (edit: especially since Thom Merrilin has been introudced).

I like Patton Oswalt but M.O.D.O.K felt like an overlong Robot Chicken sketch, and RC is something that's funny in small doses. 

Had there been only 1 season of Legion, it would deserve the top spot. Those 8 episodes are perfect. Then it became eally uninteresting really quickly in the next 2.

Runaways has a lot more to offer than you give it credit for. The characters from the comics get to live and breathe, but keeping the parents in the story fleshed out and sometimes sympathetic antagonists with their own struggle took way better advantage of the live cast than the original comic could have. And making

Being a Gen X’er, I generally blame all the generations before and after me for everything. Why not throw this on the pile?

Greg is Tom’s one true love, not Shiv!
