Yeah it's like the ends of the spectrum are getting more extreme. He goes from perfectly fine to suicidal like *that*.

This sounds dead on man, well done.

Fully aware of how cute Carrie Coon is. Although I don't like her haircut this season as much as last; to me it screams "settled."

He may be testing his inability to die, but it reminded me of Nora getting shot in the chest just to feel something. He seems to still just be going through the motions, and almost dying makes him feel more alive.

I'm confused by the thematic reasons behind why he's so ripped. All I can think is it's HBO and let's never forget that underneath all the philisophical pinings, this is a still a pulpy genre HBO show.

Nora just can't catch a break! And also there's interesting parallels; in the last scene in the present she goes on a bike ride, and she's riding a bike in the future. Also in the open the priest seemed to be getting his apocalypse predictions from pigeons, and in the future she's studiously removing the notes on

I laughed SO goddamn hard when the dog ate the rest of that sandwich.

Reminds me of them riffing off the slovenly Mitchell. Also can they do this for everything ever please?

Pop apologist (popoligist?) here: don't lump the Lumineers in with these guys. I love their second album; it's full of catchy folk tunes with really dark yet simultaneously wistful lyrics. Angela is like their Fix You in terms of anthems. Speaking of, I'm also a lapsed Coldplay mega fan (favorite band from back in the

The silver lining to this is that like it or not, we're still a capitalist soceity. If you don't like what a company is doing, don't buy from them!!

Don't go on planes! You'll fall off the edge and die and your clone will be sent on the other side as a replacement, maintaining the illusion.

Muahaha the free market works things out for itself every now and then.

I'm on the fence about Ray and Adelaide, mostly cuz I like Shosh and I don't know if she's over Ray (still sailing that ship.). It's possible they work better together in a brother/sister style relationship (ew). Also Ray's rude dismissal of her building test answer? If you live in an ugly building, wouldn't you be

They really shouldn't work together and yet they do so well!

Girls is in a weird place on my TV list. It's a show I don't consider appointment viewing, and yet I always get really excited whenever there's a new episode, especially this season. I really should give it more credit; there's really no other show that captures the young world slice of life as well as this one.

He's supposed to be dead in a plot point that no one swallowed in the last movie and everyone knows won't stick for this one.

Honestly I thought goddamn, Aquaman must be cold as hell all the time, the movie's so icy. If there's ONE place to add a little color, it's gotta be underwater!

The last shot of the Batmobile and Aquaman is such a glossy unrealistic CG mess that my eyes glazed over. The streets look too shiny and wide and clean for something that is supposed to be a battle zone. Did I mention that it's another dark orange "abandoned" cityscape? Someone either didn't learn their lesson or

Isn't that the same snowy Himalaya area that was in Batman Begins? It looks like literally the exact same place. I laughed out loud when I saw that; the Nolan aping is that obvious.

Ascension is so fucking good.
