I actually disagree that the multicam sitcom is out of creative juice. Cheers, MTM, Frasier, and most of Seinfeld are multicam, and are arguably better for it. Some of Seinfeld's most memorable moments are blown into the stratosphere by the studio audience.

Reedus'll Seatus and Feedus (Formerly Ruckus)

She's also da bomb In Bruges.

Zachary Trauben —

Oh, you're talking about the initial stabbing, not the second part where she's just running away.

Gandalf at least used the rising sun to his advantage. Just a little thing like that makes the result feel way more earned.

I don't want SOP out of my characters; I want them to outsmart each other, to anticipate the obvious action and punish it. Breaking Bad wasn't great because Walter White chose the SOP.

Except the Arya scene works way better if you think she planned it, and sold it by smearing fake blood on herself.

But the most well-known battle pre-WWI was Thermopylae, which was decidedly NOT two armies running into each other.

No prob, my magic god'll field an army at the last minute.

That single-take shot was fucking awesome. Really underscored how much of a disorienting mess melee combat can be.

Maybe Jon Snow is GoT's Forrest Gump.

On the other hand: the Meereen scenes were solid as fuck. Tyrion actually showing that people can learn on this show.

"How should I defeat an army twice as large as mine? I know! I'll make their commander really mad! Oh, he's killing my brother? Now I'm mad!"

I just finished watching the British Bake-Off on Netflix, and it's so much better not getting tear-jerked every minute of the show. It makes me wonder why our networks' reality producers are so insistent upon that tone. Wouldn't one of them say to themselves, "If all those shows do that crap, why don't we skip it and…

Also I hope LD considers doing another movie. I loved Clear History. It's nice to see the Curb worldview expressed with new characters.

I hope the long hiatus translates to a gold mine of material. I love Curb, and even it's weakest shows are some of the best on TV, but I also could do with fewer "car periscopes."

Yeah, Clueless makes sense as a cult classic: it did well at the box office, it introduced a huge amount of slang into the lexicon, the story is tight as hell, and it still holds up. I'd be upset if it DIDN'T have superfans.

Would you really want the show to play out a scenario that the Internet had been talking about for months? If it did end up happening, people would be bitching that they called it weeks ago. I'd much rather they do something I didn't expect.
