I fucking love how all of that developed. Recasting the character from the pilot for s2. The absolute burnign hatred of Laurel for about 3 seasons (turns out the actress was given very little/the wrong stuff to do and it wasn’t her fault), the confusion of SARA Lance being Black Canary. Just all of it.

Arrow started…

I think that’s due to a particular trope: “Characterization Marches On”.

One of whom (Caity Lotz) is arguably the lead character.

Dang. Love Kroll in almost anything, but it sounds like this would be quite the no-go.

Hell yeah! This series is fantastic and I need more of it.

I don’t know how Poe survived since he looked toast in S1. Also, he was a hotel AI. What changed to allow him to leave and join Kovacs?

On the other hand, Poe was perfect - and probably the best change they made from the books, so I’m ecstatic we get more of him.

After reading the books, I’m still torn on the most…

What’s with the weird hate on Jojo Rabbit?

Kite Man?

Hell yeah.

Shazam! is a solid movie for families.

For some reason it REALLY bothers me.

“But the muddled message does hobble it.”

Confession: I was dreading having to watch this show end, so I haven’t seen the finale. But I read the review. And I basically start crying every time I think about it anyway. I think actually watching it would destroy me emotionally.

Chidi and Eleanor spending lifetimes together until they (him first) go through a…

I’m extraordinarily happy that at all times it was just Gritty and there was no reference to the person or people who wear the costume.

Like we collectively decided Gritty is real.

Arrival?

Charlie Day in the Tide ad to lead the night off was amusing, but putting him into the NEXT ad for the masked signer with a quick: “Is it later yet?” was pretty inspired. Though with diminishing returns as the night went on.

American Dad has pretty much ruined these movies for me forever.

You’re wrong, but that’s okay.

Freakin love Dune. (Herbert only, thank you)

But I especially love it for all the shit Warhammer 40k stole from it.

The finale ruined the show for me. I used to love it so much, but I can’t get very far into a re-watch now because of that fucking ending.

Counterpoint: In season 2, Ted and Robin were a great couple, but it made absolute sense why they broke up.

They then spent multiple seasons showing them coming to understand who they really were and being at peace with the fact that they just wouldn’t work.
