One of the more sillier tropes in movies or shows like this is the “evil guy who betrays everyone even though that will lead to everyone’s deaths, including his”. Like, even an evil character should have self preservation. Read more

Anyone else not liking Mikey Day? I feel like he plays the exact same character in ever scene. He’s the “Oh my God, what is happening right now!” guy in every sketch. I get that sometimes you need a straight man, but he’s just so bland.
Update: I was just informed that Bowen Yang grew up just outside of Montreal. That helps that whole thing make a little more sense. And why his was the only semi-decent Quebecois accent there.
SNL seems to think Chalamet is a lot more famous than he really is
Cicely Tyson was the first Black woman to host SNL, back on 10 February 1979. I believe Issa Rae was the thirteenth - the article linked below lists twelve Black women (up to and including Tiffany Hadish) who hosted SNL: Read more
It is pretty messed up to see Carey’s Biden impression driven more by how Biden has been portrayed by the Trump campaign than by observations drawn from objective reality.
I’ll say that my Quebecoise wife found Bonjour Hi very funny. Read more
I half expected the cameo when they casually mentioned the Titan. But gorram was that a great scene. Riker seems to have a knack for showing up guns blazing.
With all due respect to Enterprise and the end of Voyager, Lower Decks is my favorite Trek production released in the last 20 years.
I’m still agog. I can’t believe all that happened! Read more
I’m not yet in love with the show but it’s surprised me with how much I’ve enjoyed it so far. I definitely went in with some pretty low expectations and it’s probably my favorite official Trek show in some time now.
if you’ve got fox demon problems...i feel bad you for, son
Ha! I’m glad I’m not the only one who mentions about her being on The Real World. Lol. Yeah she has come a long way since then. I always love seeing her in whatever project she is doing.
I think it depends how the show unpacks war crimes, which maybe this is a hot take in 2020, seem fundamentally different than crimes committed by civilians in peacetime. They are still violent, require a transgression, but are bound up in an environment of overflowing violence and obedience that can change people to… Read more
I don’t think it’s much a leap from “you sprayed one of my co-worker’s brains on my face to find a spy, my friend confessed to being that spy, you dragged her off, haven’t seen her in months” to “you murdered my friend.” Because Ji-Ah could probably rightfully assume that Young-ja was dead, and Tic had something to do… Read more
They could legit make an entire series that just centered around each of the 99 souls the kumiho collects and I would watch every one.

Agreed. It blows my mind that she went from The Real World: San Diego to potentially being nominated for an emmy.
Jamie Chung deeply impressed me with this performance. Its very early, but I could see it getting an emmy nomination. Frankly, there are so many traumatic and baroque elements to this role that it’s practically Emmy bait. But Chung created a compelling, grounded character out of all the operatic and fantastical… Read more
I’m right there with you. I thought this was one of the only episodes fully deserving of an A, and it gets a B with very little actual reflections on the story or digestion of the characters, particularly Atticus.
Joelle and I really aren’t on the same page with this series... this episode was the best of the season for me, and yet it’s the only one so far to get less than an A grade. Opinions sure are weird, huh? Read more
