I’m not really surprised about Legacies. It’s been well-received and while the ratings aren’t spectacular (but better than The Originals), they’ve been solid and pretty consistent.

Start of season two. I wouldn’t blame you if you eye-rolled hard, but to the show’s credit they did some serious course corrections fast. My big criticism of season one was that it was trying to be half a dozen different shows at once, any one of which would would have been fine on its own, but not sticking the…

Singer has his name on recent projects that made a LOT of money.

To be fair, it’s really hard to hear anything when you have your head as far up you own arse as Avi Lerner

Oh, why don’t you quit fucking trolling? This has nothing to do with any “snowflake generation” and pretty basic ethical and even legal issues around privacy and secondary use of news footage that have been around for a very long time.

Uh, I enjoyed Venom a lot. Not stopping anyone from doing the same. It is possible to enjoy a comic book movie that doesn’t end with Barney The Purple Dinosaur committing cosmic genocide with a snap of his over-blinged fingers.

It’s loud, gaudy, dumb as a sack of hair, doesn’t give a damn and isn’t two and a half hours long but feels like five. What’s not to like?

Uh, I guess we’ll see how that pans out but, to be honest, I prefer Bong Joon-ho’s rather terser response to folks who got salty about Okja being a Netflix joint.  I’m paraphrasing, but he made the hard-to-refute point that nobody else was exactly kicking his door in to finance and distribute the project.

Oh, yeah - nobody in Westeros can overcome a compulsion to spill their guts at the worse possible moment.  Sometimes literally,

Ah, I thought Samwell and Bran put the two pieces of the puzzle together but they didn’t tell anyone else. I’ll have to do a re-watch at some point.

Well. this is going to be a super-awkward extended family reunion at Winterfell.

Uh, I know. That’s a mighty fine hair to split, but whatever works for him. Anyway, what’s left of the Watch is going to be far too busy to argue the point.

Indeed - and obviously my phrasing wasn’t the clearest. To put it crudely, Daenerys’ political claim to the Iron Throne is that she’s the last Targaryen standing. Her elder brother has a legitimate male heir with a pulse? She’s in trouble.

Not so simple: Why should anyone believe Prince Auntie-Banger would do any such thing? He’s an oath breaker - more than once. No matter how he feels about it, not matter what he does, it’s a simple fact that Aegon Targaryen, the true-born son and heir of Rhaegar Targaryen, the true born heir of The Mad King, has a…

Uh, The Broody Bugger in The North can turn down everything he wants. That’s not the point. Aegon Targaryen, is the true-born son and heir of Rhaegar Targaryen, the true born eldest son and heir of The Mad King, He has the superior claim to the Iron Throne, whether he wants it or not. As long as Prince Auntie-Banger li…

You average episode of Doctor Who would be thirty seconds long if people didn’t wander off into dark corners and touch things they really shouldn’t...

There’s a lot of things IRL that don’t “feel right” but there you go and here we are, but I’m going to be boringly prosaic and commit Whovian heresy here. I’m not sad to see UNIT taken off the board, because they’ve been forking useless for years — except as an excuse for The Doctor to remind us (again) that the only…

Indeed. Genesis of The Daleks is solidly on my all-time top five, and don’t think I’m alone here. Even if it wasn’t that rarity — a retcon/reboot origin story that actually works, brilliantly — it’s not exactly a subtle anti-fascist allegory.  Terry Nation, brilliant as he was, wasn’t exactly the Henry James of SF…

You want to know a deep dark secret? The BBC doesn’t give a fuck about a self-selected sample on a website. Nobody else does either.

To be boringly prosaic I suspect a week’s craft services on Captain Marvel costs more than the whole FX budget for a season of Runaways.
