the performances are across-the-board solid, with Guerrero the standout

The original content on DC Universe is pretty good. Titans was better than I expected, still not great but a good watch. Young Justice has been amazing June cannot come soon enough for the 2nd half of the season. Can’t wait to start Doom Patrol. 

Written by Will Rokos and Milo Addica (both white men), the racial power dynamic between Leticia (Halle Berry), a widowed mother, and Hank (Billy Bob Thornton), the corrections officer who oversaw the execution of Leticia’s husband, has been the subject of debate since the movie’s 2001 release.

Netflix acquiring the rights to Siempre Bruja seemed to herald the start of an exciting new age, one in which bruja, curandera, and Creole witch stories would be told on major platforms.

Well, one of them is likely the ditzy Adler in the purple dress, since she said he faked his death twice.

The only group that historically identified themselves as pagans were the People Against Goodness and Normalcy. Thankfully, they were wiped out in the 80s.

The Magicians is the only witch show. Thank you.

They turned me into a newt!

I know I can’t speak for everyone here, but I wanted Dong back.

Government shutdowns and related crapulence had me hungering for some optimism lately, so I started rewatching Parks & Recreation on Netflix a few weeks ago — remembering to start with Season 2 because S1 sucks; but forgetting that S2 starts with a long romantic arc between Leslie and Louis C.K.’s cop character, sigh…

I agree that the blindness thing was weird (and totally unnecessary to the story, like most of the most iffy/potentially offensive bits on the show).

“Both are strong action sequences, although it’s bizarre that after Frank learned a dramatic lesson about the dangers of blindly shooting through walls, his big showdown centers on him… blindly shooting through walls.”

Good note.

“Rather than embrace the melancholy inherent in Frank becoming a full-time vigilante, “The…

I mean

Everyone used to crap all over Moffat for “over writing” and I never got that. He brought creativity, uniqueness, and snappy dialogue. Did he ever bite off more than he could chew? Sure. Plenty. Watch Sherlock’s quality over the years to see that in action, but he always had something worth watching. This year, and I…

usual assholes trying to spin the show getting some of the biggest ratings in its history as somehow meaning it’s dying

Chibnall’s been solid as a showrunner, but hopelessly average as a writer. None of his episodes were season standouts, and that should have been easy to do. this season was a collection of solidly fine, mostly unmemorable episodes.

Calling a season of Doctor Who that featured the partition of India a “right-wing whiteboy fantasia” just might be the mother of all hyperboles. You have an issue or two to resolve in your head, don’t you?

I don’t think you know what The Hague is, unless you think spending the rest of one’s days in a cosmopolitan European city with legal weed and prostitution is a punishment.

Useless fact but the ‘real’ Ivar went on to end up ruling the newly founded Dublin, and his increasingly Gaelicised descendents did as well. ( Yes a tribe of half Irish half Norse nutters..they were a fun bunch!).

I've always been fascinated by Floki but this is just endless. Have a volcano erupt or something.
