Fury was probably keeping his cards close to his vest. And he did suggest there were other superheroes out there in the Iron Man post-credits. If he’d meant Captain America, he presumably would have just said that. It might as well be an alien.

He was popular. Never be popular.

Those are good points. Bewitched probably was the standout of the 60s. That’s a different ballpark, but there’s nine episodes covering seven decades. So for the last 20 years, we could do, say, “old-fashioned 00s/10s sitcoms,” “mockumentaries,” and “meta/prestige/cult sitcoms.” And then, yeah, The Good Place for the…

Dang. Yeah, I think this is going to be rough viewing at best for you, then. Considering the set-up, I’m guessing they’re sticking at least a little to sitcoms through the whole show.

I loved the sitcom conceit in the first two episodes. Here it was a bit more grating. But I have some childhood affection for shows like Bewitched, while I have no love for 70s TV. Since it’s basically a sincere reenactment of old-fashioned sitcoms, I think it depends on whether you enjoy those. Most of us are…

I agree they should do a meta series, but I imagine that’s when the sitcom conceit will collapse, so I think Scrubs would be too early on the timeline for it. You’ve got to do an Office/Parks&Rec/Modern Family-style mockumentary episode before we ditch this. I could see Community or The Good Place working, though. A…

That’s definitely partially true, but there’s a lot of odd moments to suggest there’s something more too, like the neighbors seeming to have their own agendas, or the fact that this is seemingly a literal TV show in the “real world.” Plus, while comic book Wanda has these powers, they’ve never been shown at this level…

I think he particularly suffered because he was introduced in the third season. The first two seasons had the occasional odd retcon or memory hole, and plenty of plot contrivances, but they largely made sense (and I thought were genuinely good). Then the writers completely lost focus.

My advice: Watch the first two seasons and then stop. First two seasons are shockingly good. Seasons 3 and 4 are incoherent messes - though this particular episode was genuinely great.

The first two seasons were great. After they inexplicably were able to defeat Lucifer in the season 2 finale, all logic fell out the window and never came back. Seasons 3 and 4 had some fun camp, but the first two seasons were genuinely good. Characters had internally consistent arcs, the worldbuilding was at least…

Caliban really annoys me. There’s never anything suggesting that Sabrina Morningstar was wrong about loving him, but they still treat him as a 2-D background villain to the end.

I’m looking forward to the reviews so much and the film so little.

When I was a kid, my family got a pass two or three times. With the amount spent on additional fees on all the additional visits, Disney made far money from us than they would’ve otherwise. But my understanding is that, after Bob Chapek took over the parks, they began maximizing profits from each individual customer…

Honestly, I much prefer Sabrina the manipulative sociopath over Sabrina the idiot. In the first two seasons, she was a normally intelligent person with a dark side, which made Satan’s temptations have genuine stakes. Then in season 3, she just seemed like a glorified dumb blonde, making wrong choices for the hell of it…

Alright, I’ll go with that...

Nah, we’ve always been this stupid. In a hundred years we’ll remember this period as either a crisis America overcame or the fall of another great empire. And we’ll forget how stupid it was, just as we forgot how stupid Hitler, the Confederacy, the War of 1812, and the fall of the Roman Empire were.

I honestly think they’d turn on Trump if he ever took a hard turn towards doing the right thing. It’s not about him anymore. He’s just the avatar to channel their hatred. You can incite a mob, but you can’t lead one.

It usually takes 2-3 for the GOP to create a new party line after reaching a new ethical low. Give them a moment to reboot to the worst of whatever conservative media’s saying.

I remember once in a college course about terrorism, our professor showed us a video of two idiots in ISIS talking to the press. And one of his points was, “They’re posing.” They’re actively showing themselves off because they think this is cool.
