I’ve given side eye to stories of young and healthy vaccine hunters lurking at pharmacies in hopes of getting daily leftovers, but considering that Kloots lost her husband to COVID after a long and horrible battle and has a small daughter who needs her, I’m willing to give her a pass. My husband and I would love to…

I watched it again recently, and it couldn’t be made today. But I’m not sure if it’s super-problematic, or extremely timely. Or both.

They don’t even understand what their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was all about. Do we really not expect them to screw up interpreting Sci-Fi as well?

Every vampire fetishizing romance is very creepy for this exact reason.

I’m so glad to know this. I’ve read a few things about him, and his background is kind of wild.

Ugh, I have a long-term, enduring, school-girl crush on Pedro Pascal and it’s just not fucking fair that he’s also good people irl and an ally.

Sadly, probably moreso than in her own  home.

By far the biggest thing I disliked about this series was the depiction of Vegas as a hedonistic place populated solely by people who love violence. I could have tolerated it if they had made that a consistent choice, but then they go and undercut it by 1) having Glen tell us that the people of Vegas aren’t that…

You keep saying the show has too many characters but, really, the cast list isn’t bloated. It is just, as you do rightly point out, that they do a shitty job developing *any* of them.

I’m so very annoyed at the ‘hand of god’ actively killing all the antagonists *before* setting off the nuke. Which means the nuke…

You know what else sucks? I just recently got hooked on The Leftovers and am binging it on the edge of my seat. That show is so good and I watched an hour of The Stand instead last night just to get it over with and be caught with you guys for this discussion.

This was just sooooo not good. The way Vamnpire Eric delivered his speech was awful. I don’t know how to explain it but he was spitting out each line like a person spitting watermelon seeds one at a time. Maybe more like sunflower seeds.

It is wholly unconvincing, especially since Lloyd hasn’t exactly been a passive followed of Flagg prior to killing Glen. Lloyd has helped facilitate the deaths of, probably, hundreds.

When Flagg started to dance, the entire show turned into a parody. It’s not an adaptation, it’s a parody of The Stand.

Boy, that Stephen King sure can write an ending. 

Lloyd was one of the better characters in the book. He was terrified of Flagg, but stuck by him because the Walkin Dude saved his life. I always thought that was cool. THIS Lloyd is just a one-dimension caricature of what the role actually is.

Despite all his rage, he is still holding cats on this page.

Those cats don’t look nearly as happy to be with Billy Corgan as Billy Corgan looks to be with those cats.

Whatever you say about Corgan, he sure likes cats.

Reznor was a pretty horrid boss to his bandmates before he got sober, but I haven’t heard any stories of him abusing people.

That’s the trouble. I feel comfortable giving him the benefit of the doubt about anything in Marilyn Manson’s autobiography, since... It’s Marilyn Manson’s autobiography.
