Yeah, if I recall it was very similar to Stan Lee right before he went. A lot of hands managing assets and care and now all of them seemed to have the best intentions. Still even if 89 is a damn good run and I’d the end was hard, it’s still sad to see anyone go, let alone a trailblazer, icon and from all accounts a…

She was truly a giant that transcended her role as an actress. Losing Nichelle and Bill Russel in the same day is heartbreaking.

I’m not surprised and sad as it is, in a way for many close to her it may be a bit of a relief. I know she’s not been well for years now, suffering a stroke and dementia. And that’s a really hard thing to see a loved one go through. Most of my grandparents went through it and I’m really dreading my own parents…

The SDH didn’t really bother me and at the time I never really thought it was a bad idea to send him out again, although maybe it was. They are very short on personnel.

The joy I experienced when I realized that “Larry” is the name of Nathan Corddry’s characters in both For All Mankind and Paper Girls was the single best thing to come out of this episode IMO. (The characters have other traits in common, too.)

I hate the pregnancy. I mean I REALLY hate it. Kelly is too smart to let that happen and NASA is too controlling. Even ignoring the lack of an obstetrician and pediatrician, nobody would be excited about testing the effects of low gravity and high radiation on a developing fetus. Not to mention the work required in…

While it sets up some future issues, overall the episode had way too many cliches that have been done to death. I’m disappointed in the episode for having so many:the genius having the outside the box solution, the rescue happening just before a character tells the other one a secret, carrying a dead man’s baby,…

Based on the headline, I was expecting this story to be much worse.

From what I’ve read of Groves, Brian Dennehy is an inspired choice.

Oh! I forgot about Day One. Good choice there. I saw it on TV when it first aired. Definitely worth re-watching. I haven’t seen Hiroshima. Sounds good.

I agree. I did like the Pam and Ellen conversation. Just feels like that should have been earlier on in the season. Just feel like they forget about some story lines and tack them in spots where action isn’t heavy to get the story out even if it doesn’t represent the entire arc of the episode.

There was a TV miniseries in the early ‘80s with Sam Waterston as Oppenheimer. I remember it being pretty good.

I would invite you to listen to The Dollop 4 part episode about Aaron Burr and host Dave Anthony's many angry, but pretty spot-on, criticisms of Lin-Manuel Miranda's decision to rely solely on one source of research for his musical about the kind of awful shitbird Alexander Hamilton.

De Armas is proving to be an excellent actress and captures Monroe’s look just fine (not least because they are both natural brunettes), and I’m pretty much always in the camp of capturing the essence of a real-life character rather than nailing an impersonation.  Heck, she looks more like Marilyn Monroe than Norma…

Anyone else beside me never connect Drew from Deliverance as the same actor who played Jones in Robocop? I’m so used to seeing Ronnie Cox play sneering assholes in a suit and tie that I completely missed that he was the most gentle, low-key member of the group in Deliverance.

SG9 was my favorite!

I love SG1 but I got pretty tired of the Replicators and I absolutely hate the Ori. I don’t like religious stuff even though it is basically showing how dumb and dangerous it is. Everyone I know wishes they went in some other direction, but before that it was amazing for years. As a Marine it kind of annoyed me that…

SGU was a bummer, it started out a bit off I think, but really was hitting it’s stride just as it got cancelled

Actually skipping the Irishman is understandable

He lived in the apartment directly above my good friend’s in West Hollywood. 19 years ago, when he was having a particularly raucous party, Paul came down to complain... and wound up staying an hour, and got pretty loaded.
