Yeah, she's "the bullet."

Is Kieran Culkin's name in all the advertising for his show? What about Jonathan Majors or Simu Liu?

She was in a Lorne Michaels show and a Steven Spielberg movie in the last year, if you don’t know who she is, it’s not her fault.

Sadly I doubt the “no repeats” streak is going to last longer than a week, with Will Forte hosting in support of the MacGruber show next episode.

I doubt McKay would’ve told Reilly first that Ferrell really had his heart set on the role but he was giving it to Reilly instead, so there was probably no reason for Reilly to think it was any different than accepting any other role McKay might’ve offered him, and therefore no reason that Ferrell would be mad at…

Yeah, I think Logan is mostly upset at Roman for making a mess he has to clean up and another potential PR disaster on the heels of the carnivals scandal, not necessarily in a “I care about the fact that you’re abusing a woman” way. He also doesn’t like that it seems compulsive and that Roman is not in control of it.

Yeah, credit to Matthew Macfadyen for making him seem sympathetic in those moments, but ultimately he’s really just manipulating Shiv for his own gain (or attempting to, at any rate).

I think it’s also a little easy to forget that Tom is also a very mercenary person who is also incredibly focused on his own career and prospects. It’s easier for him to say he “loves” Shiv without reservations, because she has more status than he does.

The cartoon includes the Battle of Five Armies, but it’s like two minutes and basically a montage that’s explained by an expository song.

I went to look up whether there was some film called Bird of Prey that was not the Harley Quinn movie, but Cathy Yan did, in fact, direct Birds of Prey, the Harley Quinn movie.

Yeah, I took the bottles at her condo as meant more to illustrate that she hadn’t bothered to clean or decorate or socialize or anything since arriving, not so much that she’s a “problem drinker” necessarily.

He probably actually did them a favor by addressing the elephant in the room and forcing them to have Reggie Watts explain the precautions that were taken, he knew the home audience would be thinking “uhh, this looks like a super-spreader event” the whole time otherwise.

Didn’t Harrison Ford famously stipulate that he’d only appear in the sequels if they killed him off? So it’s kinda hard to lay that particular decision at the feet of Abrams.

It is weird how they seem to have retconned the guest hosting stints into being tryouts for the permanent gig. Aside from Mike Richards injecting himself in there, I don’t think anybody thought of it that way.

I mean, the Gunn tweets were very gross and in extremely poor taste, but they were obviously jokes. I don’t think the people who got the pitchforks out to get him fired from his Marvel gig were doing it because they were actually offended by the jokes, it was to “exact revenge” for the then-recent cancellation of…

Yeah, he made a dumb joke in poor taste and has apologized for it repeatedly - I suspect a lot of the outrage over the joke is also not really genuine but rather more like the James Gunn “cancellation” where it was people pretending to be offended by a bad joke to “own a lib.”

Way worse IMHO, they went from having that tactile, handmade quality that makes stop motion cool to looking like crappy pre-rendered video game characters that seem completely untethered from the rest of the action on screen

Yeah, this is why I always felt the LeVar Burton push was weird, he’s almost as old as Trebek and already super famous. I mean, it would’ve been fine I’m sure, but certainly there’s gotta be a million competent emcee/presenter types who'd also be great at it that are closer to the age Trebek was when he started.

My money’s on “Kevin shot Nick (non-fatally) and is treated as even more of a hero by Neal and his dad, much to Allison’s chagrin”

Yeah, it just seems like kind of a catch-22, if they keep not killing Kevin, it’ll feel like wheel-spinning. But once they do, the whole central sitcom premise is basically exploded.
