Just the sight of Jimmy Howard gave me my best laugh in weeks.

Yeah, I find this show breathlessly entertaining. And I think multiple episodes ads up to more layered, compelling characters. Jerry West’s “character” has calmed down now that he is not coaching, validating his brace decision to put his own mental health and marriage ahead of coaching. Magic’s “character” has…

So finding your moms old homemade porno on Roblox would suck for sure, but it’s the Kardashians so it’s fucking hilarious 

why wouldn’t you want your children to find out how you got so famous and rich?

Just a reminder, Will Smith is a bully. Don’t forget what he did to Aunt Viv. He’s always been a bully and a phony. 

The commercial (the real-life one, linked in the article) is difficult to get through.  I feel like I’m about to be murdered at any moment...  Charming people can become swindlers, but this woman has zero charm.  I’ll never understand how this happened.

I’m LOVING her in this. I always thought of her as a sweet, sunny person based on previous roles so this is fun.

• Tyler nearly flunked out of Stanford because he was on the road with Dispatch. Google tells me they’re a real band.

I think they present Holmes early on pretty much as she appears to be - disconnected from her peers because she believes she is single-mindedly motivated (a good thing from her perspective) while everyone else is silly and/or lazy.  She’s clearly smart, but has a blind spot for her own ignorance.

What mystery? She’s a young, white, woman who old white guys got the tingles for. Next. 

The show wants to understand how Holmes went from an eccentric and potentially brilliant healthcare innovator to a cold, calculating huckster capable of sociopathic levels of deception.

I don’t get why everyone is so eager to praise sociopathic con artists. In this case, for instance, you call Holmes “an eccentric and potentially brilliant healthcare innovator”. In reality, she didn’t innovate anything, and there’s no reason to think she had the potential for brilliance. I could announce tomorrow…

I was already raging earlier in the series with Robert Rodriguez just going ‘fuck it’ to the entire Star Wars Universe and bringing in your Skittles Chase The Rainbow Space Mods and daft product placement for Boston Dynamics but the shit that went down in this episode was a fucking giant manga robot too far.

You know, just when I think that stakes can’t get lower in a shootout with two Mandalorians in armor shrugging off several blaster bolts, in comes a Wookiee that does the same thing.

But he’s limping or whatever, so I guess being shot a half dozen times somehow sprained his ankle.

Head Writer: So, I’ve got this idea where we’ll have these two giant robots with fuck-off huge cannons fight Boba, Mando, the Wookie, the Mos Espa Vespas and all the Freetown people.
Other Writer: Sounds cool. I guess a bunch of them will die fighting these enormous threats?
Head Writer: Nope. The giant robots will miss…

The Pykes don’t even own a ship. Their reinforcements all arrived via Space Greyhound. The stakes and scale of whole season are pitifully small.

This review is excellent, and I agree with most every word of it, but especially this: “It cannot be overstated how many sins can be forgiven by the redemptive act of having a giant monster fight robots.”

Didn’t they kind of ruin the entire point of “The Mandalorian” by having the characters reunite so quickly and easily? I’m sure they realized that stripping “The Mandalorian” of its central, defining relationship was hugely problematic.

While watching this episode, I kept thinking how I couldn’t explain this show to anyone. I could easily tell them what happened on the show, especially since not that much that did, but I don’t even know where I would start on what the show was about. What was the central story arc, what was the character journey,…

The right only cares about the idea of cops as jackboot enforcers of the “status quo” that benefits them. They have never cared about the actual cops themselves. Once the cops are not their enforcers, they don’t give a shit about them.
