This just wasn’t very satisfying as the end of a season. 

his apple tv+ series servant was shockingly engrossing. the downside, of course, is that it’s on apple tv+

i really liked “the visit.”  so shoot me.

Hunter even manages an Afro mullet, which is quite impressive.

Father is a Very Good Dad but his weird dick measuring contest with Mother seems like an especially clunky way to insist to the audience “hey this is really subversive because Mother protects the family and Father nurtures the children!” Like who is out here turning this service droid into a great dad but also giving…

Mullets in SPACE!!!

Plus Scott is big into ancient aliens creation myth stuff. So the idea that a religious cult from Roman times translated ancient text and unlocked advanced interstellar technology all sorta is in his wheel house. 

And lo, did Sol command, that men and women’s hair must be shorn thus to honour our lord; business in the front, party in the back.

Both of my grandmothers were skilled pie makers, and felt that apple pie was a perfectly cromulent breakfast when accompanied by a cup of coffee & a few slices of extra sharp cheddar.

It kind of reminds of when Kellogg’s made a big deal about Froot Loops, “Now with brighter colors!”

You hit 3 out of 4 of the “essential” food groups!

I had leftover lasagna and cheesecake. Screw breakfast cereal. 

1) Trix’ “fruity shapes” are not original. When I was a kid and had to go uphill both ways to get my cereal, they were just a bunch of colored spheres. They tasted different, sure, but they were just spheres.

It’s oddly freeing. This morning I had half a leftover steak, a slice of cinnamon cake, and a sliced and salted tomato. I gave no fucks and it was delicious.

My cereal-based “Saturday Mornings” would have been in the 70's. And back then I chose my cereal based on the quality of the prize or toy in the box. I had no brand loyalty whatsoever. Promise me some spy binoculars or a bathtub submarine I had to assemble and I would swear I’d whither and die if my parents didn’t buy…

“I guess I just don’t understand the Child/Parent dynamic in this world.”

I think this is one of the messages of this show that children are raised to be who they are and codependency is a tool of the strong over the weak. When do we learn to hate? When do we learn to trust?

yeah Campion is becoming like the kid in “The Tin Drum” where you’re like “are you really going to make us sit through this kid screaming over and over?”  I don’t need to see “Little Shit: The Origin Story” point by point, but as others have noted this show likes to play the same notes again and again.

I really love this show, but this episode did give me the impression that season 1 might have been better with 1-2 fewer episodes. The scope of the show is pretty narrow, so I don’t know if it needed an already small order of 8 episodes for its first season. To me the show’s single biggest flaw is the children. They…

Still ain’t got nothing on NASA’s MRV:

I could murder one of these tonight.
