That’s lovely, thanks for sharing.  This one is hitting hard even though as others have noted she had a great run and went out the right way.

Hot take: they should’ve made it without the Wachowskis.

This review score and review are completely disconnected. The review itself sounds like a generous C+. (This show is a C at best.) To suggest this episode was a B+ would be to put it in contention with some of the best shows of the Peak TV era, which is clearly nonsense.

Zack, the show’s writers had other jobs beyond…

This kind of made me think...why didn’t they just have Sanderson write the thing? They’d still need a director and show runner and stuff to handle actually converting it to a visual format, and they could even have other writers handle some of the specific scenes or dialogue or whatever, but they really should have…

It’s also kind of wild to list It’s A Wonderful Life as a movie that will shield you from hard feelings as that movie is dark, y’all.

Looking at the series as a whole, my biggest issue is probably with the casting. As mentioned in another comment, I thought the writing bad and lazy, but I also get that writing is hard and there were choices that needed to be made. However the casting approach is something that actually left me bothered.

As a sidenote on bad stuff in this episode, while majority of it was so boring for me that I didn’t really find myself caring at all, there was one scene which was so hilariously bad that I am still cracking up laughing about it even now.

I had kind of a weird realization while watching this episode. On a personal level, this was the first time it really hit me that I think this show is really bad and I absolutely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Not just that, but I kind of regret that I suggested it before to a couple of friends to watch.

If you’re of a delicate nature, there are Christmas movies for you: childlike offerings like A Charlie Brown Christmas, or Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. Traditionalists can have Miracle On 34th Street and It’s A Wonderful Life...These relative classics are safe, sure bets for maintaining a seasonal framework while…

“Oh, yawn, here’s meta-commentary about how this will go as a bunch of idiots argue about their obvious opinions.

I am contractually obligated to post this phenomenonal takedown as a writer who didn’t always understand Didion’s appeal and whose teachers were always telling me she was someone to emulate: https://www.writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/103/didion-per-harrison.html

I don’t get it, Jezebel. What does this news have to do with the royal family or reality television?

I love the weekly review and am glad you’re doing it.

Critics are often out of touch. It isn’t just critics, but a lot of people in and around the industry lose perspective on the real world or get caught up in all the inside baseball. It doesn’t help whn most of a critic’s social interactions are on Twitter. Twitter is not representative of the the real world, but…

No offense meant Noel, but maybe that’s just because entertainment media isn’t as important as its writers seem to think it is?

I liked it. I’m kind of surprised by some of the mixed and negative reactions.

Surely given the subject matter of the film, the grade should have been C++?

“And Resurrections implies that the only reason Lana came back for a fourth movie was that Warner Bros. would have done it with or without her participation.”

Except, there's a difference between being a skilled performer and being a competent producer of a live variety show every week. It'd have been like expecting Gilda Radner or Bill Murray to take over as showrunners when Lorne left the first time.

And now they’re unnecessary plastic surgery buddies.
