Sadly Pugh fares worst out of this quartet since her part is small and the character ends up being just a forgettable plot convenience.

As I’ve written before, it just really feels like this was pitched as a 2 hour movie with heavy supernatural elements that HBO decided to expand and graft onto an existing franchise, with not so good results.

Pizzolatto is a pretty arrogant guy who thinks he’s a genius - not uncommon in Hollywood - who uncommonly doesn’t try to filter this at all, which I suspect is one contributing factor why most critics were really rooting for Lopez to succeed since they grew tired of his act a long, long time ago. Being a jerk over…

I suspect you may have missed that after what some felt was unjustified criticism of the first couple episodes, someone set up an entirely new subreddit, TDNightCountry, that made it a point to moderate the dogwhistling and was generally filled with positive comments about the show. It apparently became the the…

Well, I liked it better than E3-5, although that’s not saying much.

Huh?

This was perhaps the most frustrating episode of a frustrating show.

I only came across Fourth Wing in the last month - it showed up on a list of suggested ebooks when I’d checked something else out from the library - and after seeing 150k Amazon reviews I thought I should grab it just to see what the hype was about.

I could have made that clearer for folks who aren’t aware of how the Coast Guard operates (which is just about everyone reading the comment) but here’s the long form version of it that I didn’t want to write up.

I’m curious how they’re going to portray Stanton in Manhunt; by most accounts, he went off the deep end during it and the trial, even if not quite to the level portrayed in The Conspirator. Even Grant grew tired of him.

I’m not sure how this rates an A- when you conclude with this:

IIRC from the trade rags at the time, the story was that Waterston’s ‘elevation’ was a planned cost saving strategy - it was even hinted at during the end of Season 17 - since moving him to a supporting role meant his salary was a lot more tenable for a show with ratings nowhere close to its glory days.

Staff are also required to confirm all projectors and sound systems are turned off at night, to save on power bills and bulb life.

So combining the Google translate versions of the O Globo article with my very limited SpanPortuguese :

What this article doesn’t address is why the leading man in romcoms has changed, and I’d suggest that it’s because Hollywood has caught on to audience expectations.

I’ve not watched this yet but, yeah, if they don’t take on the reporters here for not doing their jobs as well it’s a whitewash.

I’d argue what’s more dissettling about the writing is its peaks and valleys, which are some of the more significant in recent memory.

Weakest of the episodes so far.

Whelp, after the first two episodes, it’s...ok.

For BoB, the reason why it works and the Pacific doesn’t kind of goes back to the origin story.
