That whole sequence in T2 where she escapes the psych ward is just a masterclass in badassery.

I miss Jon Stewart. I get why he left, and the sheer evil on display in the administration may have killed him if he had to talk about it every night, but damn do I miss his voice.

It’ll be a crime if Jared Harris doesn’t win an Emmy for this. 

I loved the lack of accents; if anything, it added to the naturalism of the show. I find that using accents to convey “foreignness” is cheesy and sometimes even distracting.

I didn't even think about it. I actually think it's weird when a film or show has actors doing an accent of the language spoken during the real events. So I found it to be a breath of fresh air.

I need to stop obsessing over it, clearly. I love so many of the actors in this mini-series. 

In all honesty, it stopped being a thing for me partway through the first episode. Mazin also makes a point to discuss this very issue in the first episode of the companion podcast series.

Ok, this series has intrigued me since I read about it. But I have a definitive resistance to watching it because, in these times, having British actors using British accents to portray Russian citizens seems somewhat outdated. It’s clear to me that I’m in the minority here, because none of the critics’ reviews I’ve…

He’s in the trailer for next week. He’s still alive (but feels like a total afterthought)

Everyone’s made out their SNL all-time all-stars cast at one time or another

Easily the best overall show of the year. Not that this is a surprising result.... The only negative is it just reminds me how much I miss Bill Hader.

With the demise of Louis CK (well, he’s not actually dead; he has just entered a kind of living death), John Mulaney has emerged as America’s top comedian.

What a disturbing header image.  There’s no way on earth Niles Crane would ever wear double denim.

“Three Valentines” should’ve made the cut on the strength of David Hyde Pierce’s opening scene along. It is a 7 minute tour de force of physical comedy performance.

Ski Lodge is probably the best example of door comedy I've ever seen. It's perfectly timed physical comedy.

Sure Season 10 isn’t great, but I will give a shout-out to “Roe To Perdition”, which is worth it just for the sight of Frasier and Niles desperately cramming their mouths with Beluga.

God I hope not. This country already has a fucked opinion about opioids and those who take them. All these measures to stop “the opioid epidemic” are gonna lead towards a real epidemic of suicide and overdose from chronic pain patients who can’t get proper care from doctors or can’t afford their meds because they…

I shall preface this with saying that I don’t consider 45 to be “a genius” but I do believe he is literal evil and has planned this depending on the stupidity of people like conspiracy theorists and his white-supremacist followers to enrich himself.

People like conspiracies because then it’s someone else’s fault. It makes us feel better when there’s an ‘enemy’ causing our woes, instead of it being because life isn’t fair, or you made a mistake. There’s been some studies of things like JFK conspiracies. It’s more comforting to think that it took a vast network of…
