The coolest thing about this show is that Mary Steenbergen, who played the mom, actually did experience what happened to Zoey to a certain extent! Obviously she didn't become telepathic, but she did start hearing everything as musical after an operation. 

yep, the "I'm about to be a huge Marvel star and I have no fucks to give about TV anymore" is palpable

I don’t think it’s cowardly to admit that you’re learning things and can adjust your rhetoric accordingly. It’s more than most famous people can do. TBH I don’t even think I really know exactly what qualifies as a genocide. There’s a lot of definitions from various people, some of which Israel/Palestine fits and some…

I think it's the hair, plus the general face shape and their smiles are quite similar. Also, yeah, I agree that Tig in Army of the Dead is not the best resemblance. She's purposely weathered looking and also she's been through cancer, almost dying from C. Diff. and raising twins relatively recently. But around age 40…

Fair enough! And it’s a vanishingly small number of film actors that make a comparable amount of money for a comparable number of years. But I could understand preferring one to the other because 22 episodes per year seems like a punishing schedule compared to one or two movies, playing the same character for almost…

Robert Sheehan, yes, but if I assume correctly that you’re talking about Doctor Who, I think three seasons is just about right for any nuWho Doctor. Plus the Clara/Matt Smith season didn’t work very well for me.

Yep, exactly. She also jumped ship too early to catch the recent little mini-boom in actually decent romantic comedies, which I think she would have been perfect for. She's one of the best parts of Brave New World at least? 

I’ve got empathy for the actors. I’d hate to be George Clooney and decide to Ellen Pompeo (ride ER out for the paycheck well beyond its natural death). But in the same way, I'd hate to Jessica Brown Findlay when I could have Ellen Pompeo-d. Honestly I don't think her jump to film got wrecked by her own merits, people…

K whatever bud

Google their names together, I am far from the only one who thinks that. 

I can’t tell if you mean it’s baffling because she’s not hot or baffling because it’s such old news? Everyone’s yums don’t have to be the same but it totally makes sense that people find her attractive. She’s basically a Tom Cruise doppelganger with a sense of humor that hits better for me personally and no cult…

Cancel culture's not a myth. It's a myth that it's primarily a liberal phenomenon that's main effect is sucking the joy out of life. Conservatives fricking love canceling stuff, and that's why there were few gay people in public life before the 2000s, why Lil Nas X got so much pushback to the devil video, why Liz…

The reference is fun, but women superheros (or sports teams for that matter) just having the male versions name plus some feminization is pretty tiresome.

For fucks sake, it’s always brave. Some kids might expose themselves to bullying or being disowned. Some adults might risk losing their careers and having to hurt partners who they care about even though there isn’t sexual attraction. Everyone has to take a risk that the people who love them might not see them in the…

There's an entire episode about someone being deliberately and sadistically tortured and raped, wtf is wrong with you?

Raya’s not plucky, she’s basically Harrison Ford as a Disney Princess. She’s got Indiana Jones’ heist skills, and Han Solo’s hard bitten distrust and cynicism. Yeah, it’s a little bit didactic. I found it fun and a completely different vibe from the other Disney Renaissance Renaissance movies. I remember the same…

If they reprise their Full House role for Disney but not Netflix...

Do you live in Wyoming? Because if so, there are actually two.

E-book library loans are very much a thing! (And can I say, suck it, physical book snobs who were surprised I had a Kindle because "you seem like you love books too much")

😭 farewell to the show I had to rebrand as "Schmidt's Creek" to finally get my parents to watch and love.
