One of the more frustrating hot-takes I read from the second debate is that Trump won because he improved so much since the first debate; ergo, he's still in the game.

I'm three years late, but I still want to review cuz I'm just getting into this series! :)

Ok, after this, I want another Game of Thrones thing, and then after that, another Stranger Things thing, and then a mashup of both!

The climax of Dance Yrself Clean by LCD Soundsystem always makes my heart feel like it's going to explode. Someone Great also never fails to give me chills. I've definitely teared up to that song before during the lower moments of my life.

Eh, I don't know about that. I bet she did try a more traditional career path before Youtube came along, but not everybody can win a Grammy, you know? She made a choice and realized she didn't want to be a reasonably talented singer/voice coach who gets lost in an extremely crowded field.

Real life Colleen is actually super chill and down to earth in her vlogs and turns out is a pretty talented, trained singer. And the Miranda Sings gag definitely started out as a send-up of self-important "youtube singing sensations" (I think she's mentioned this straight out in some of her earlier 'behind the…

I don't disagree with you in general, but in this particular instance it didn't read as sanctimonious. It read more like, "this story isn't remote because it happened in Italy, because it can happen to you in the States too." As in, it's not a competition, but it is good to put it in perspective for those living in…

Huh, I read that very differently: remembering that it can happen anywhere makes the story more terrifying, not less. It's not a morality lesson.

The funniest material I've ever seen come out of SNL is the corpsing. Watching a straight ep of SNL has never done it for me, no matter who the lineup is.

Just putting this out there— I think a show about a family with a mail-order bride dynamic would be really compelling on like, HBO or Showtime. Not so much as a lighthearted NBC sitcom obviously.

My dad had a really fancy chess set (made of marble I want to say?) whose sole purpose was to look fancy on an end table and collect dust. The knights were a bitch to clean properly.

I think she's doing pretty fantastic for someone who only really debuted on the big screen in 2013. Lupita already has an Oscar and a Tony, and she's got Star Wars on lock. I already get the sense that she can be choosy with her roles.

Ok guys, so zombies and zombie-adjacent baddies (any sort of 'infected and contagious' tropes) are played out. So are vampires. Teen Wolf and those terrible, terrible Underworld movies have cornered the market on werewolves. Let's not even talk about True Blood. We need new mythical creatures to make stories about. I…

~FAKEOUT!~

Partly because it's outrageously popular, and came with a built-in fanbase from a successful comic book series, and partly because the (really) uneven quality after the first season can be really bothersome once you've become invested in watching.

*Gasp* just like Cheryl's old Gypsy woman said!

I always liked their relationship because Peggy treats Bobby's ideas seriously instead of shooing him away or talking down to him, and the 'competitions' are part of that. At the end of the day, Bobby gets a lot of support from Peggy.

I always loved that the resolution to the "Leslie's mom hitting on Ben" plotline was her just bursting out laughing. Just a perfect way to resolve the ridiculousness.

Something something Joker world-burning quote.

So true. The difference is that The Strain at least recognizes its moments of campy B-movieness every now and again (Z-Nation even more so). But FTWD is trying to take itself verrry seriously.
