It doesn’t help that from everything I’ve seen, Charlize Theron is a massively more capable actor than Anna Taylor-Joy is.

I love this show. It hits the sweet spot of fast, dumb joke machine I didn’t realize I’d been missing after 30 Rock went off the air, and the musical numbers are all cringe-inducing hilarity. Too many favorites to pick from, but I just love their in-between filler track:

The first few episodes of Discovery I thought, well, this is cool: a story about the early days of the Human/Klingon war. A good way to get some of those fresher NuTrek sensibilities in, while exploring a generally overlooked facet of the lore.

Mostly agree with this sentiment, although you could probably do some loose categorization, e.g. I will always hold up FFVI as one of the greatest and most monumental video games of all time, but when my friend who thrives on anime was looking to get into the series I thought about FFVIII being the one where you’re a…

No matter what it’s grand legacy is, I will say that I think the first season of The Flash is about the most perfect comic show to ever air on TV.

Bluey has some terrific voice acting and is a great imaginative opportunity to explore their world, but the game is a buggy piece of shit total hack-job. My kids love it.

Man, I had no interest in Squall and Rinoa’s “love” story. Squall just never was an interesting character to me. His transition from brooding dickhead to still-brooding-dickhead-but-now-admits-he-loves-Rinoa had no real arc to it. Didn’t help that the game spoon-fed you the idea from the very box art that this Final…

Yeah, I know it was taken from the British version. I would’ve fought to change it, though. The show got some good shock value from when it actually happened, but outside of that, Kate was the most compelling thing the show had going for it, other than maybe Kevin Spacey himself.

Considering the show slowed to a dull crawl once Spacey was jettisoned, I’d have to say you’re right.

I don’t know that further clogging up the legal system to redistribute his wealth to a bunch of already-wealthy lawyers is the most laudable use of his money, but I guess it’s something

But he acknowledges how competitive and tough the games industry can be. “The difficulty of the work, the low pay, drives even young developers away,” he points out while suggesting that, in his experience, the average “lifespan” of a programmer is about five to seven years due to the intense nature of their work.

I had no idea the reboot was still running. I think I watched a few episodes of it and was turned off by the shallow, forced-sounding equivocating over racism and policing. I think I preferred it when it was a fantasy show where the cops were always the good guys (except for the few times some other cops weren’t). At…

When I cut the cord, a streaming service requirement for me was having CC. I ended up with YoutubeTV, which has unlimited DVR, so I recorded every episode of TDS, but ended up actually watching it less and less, until now I can’t remember last time I watched it.

I thought it was pretty ironic that Colleen yelled at Danny all season for solving problems with violence but then she gets the powers and is shown solving a problem with...violence! That ending made her character super hypocritical.

I feel like the movie is kind of an ironic victim of its own success, though, in that Gosling really does steal the show.

All of that. But also - and my memory is slipping on the specifics here because I played it at launch and haven’t felt the inclination to touch it since - but at the time, it sure felt like most of their problems were solvable if they just, you know, took an extra day to maybe try and find some other boat on any of…

As bad as Iron Fist was, the second season ended super strong IMO. Colleen Wing as the new Iron Fist on the streets of NYC with a freaking glowing sword and Danny and Ward finally reconciled and off having silly adventures overseas as brothers.

Yes, it’s possible to avoid killing enemies. Maybe I would feel differently if the game either directed you to or rewarded you for that kind of behavior. But killing is generally your fastest and most reliable option. And more importantly, the game never even asks the question of whether it’s the right thing to do or…

Here’s the thing. The first game did a really good job of constantly backing Joel and/or Ellie into a corner, where they had no choice other than to fight their way out. The hospital is probably the first time that there’s a real moral choice implied, and even then it was as much on the Fireflies for their shitty…

This was a just-okay show that was already pushing the boundaries of suspension of disbelief and clearly would’ve gone off the rails entirely if it had a third season. I’m glad for the two seasons we got, and Kaley Cuoco was stellar in it. Big Bang Theory made her a household name and probably made it so she’ll never…
