“This isn’t making infinity dollars any more, just infinity minus one dollars, therefore it is a failure” <- Anyone who says this, or any variation of this, or anything that amounts to this, should be catapulted into the Sun.

Neither. It’s more “boring waste of time.” Imagine a train derailing at 3 mph, such that only one car is slightly askew and no one is even injured.

Look, you can’t expect the A.V. Club writers they plucked out of a Starbucks on Lankershim to understand Roman numerals, or Latin numerals, or basic grammar, or...

Leave the drug angle out of it and you’ve got a deal!

Oh for sure; and I wouldn’t blink twice if this show did reveal that Moss had been staking it out for eight years. It’s the kind of show where that kind of thing works.

Re Moss, my guess is that he hadn’t been continually staking out Gene’s house for eight years, but heard that Gene was in town and guessed (correctly) that Barry would go there.

I saw Bill Burr yesterday, at the restaurant where we were having mother’s day dinner! If I’d known he was on Barry I would have... probably not done anything different.

BSG’s time jump blew my mind, although that was creeping up on 20 years ago at this point, and so many shows have done time jumps since then that it’s not nearly as stunning a technique. The vagaries of TV production mean that you can’t really do something audacious like plan a multi-season show with large time jumps…

Well, only her career. *rimshot*

Sure, but “woman runs legal cannabis company” isn’t nearly as interesting a hook as “middle-class housewife starts illegal weed business.”

Sniper rifle from a distance isn’t the mafia M.O.

Even MTV VJ Kennedy?!

I honestly don’t remember that. To be fair, the last season of Weeds aired 11 years ago, and the only thing I remember about it is that there was a time jump in the last episode and they had futuristic cellphones for some reason.

Given that weed is getting legalized all over, what exactly is the a Weeds reboot going to be about? The whole premise was this middle-class woman breaking the law to make ends meet.

Yeah, it had really run out of steam by the end of season 3. Then it just descended into tedious (though fitfully amusing) weirdness. I only kept watching because MLP and Justin Kirk were so good.

Rodriguez’s output has been very hit-or-miss over the years, but bless his love of the craft. He really seems like someone who absolutely loves filmmaking.

Where was it, roughly? We go out to the desert from time to time and I’m curious to check it out (if indeed it still exists).

The general vibe you describe reminds me of Poker Face.

This is why I work from home. Good luck throwing something far enough to hit me, suckers!

With so much media to sort through these days, it’s always nice when there’s a big red flag attached to a particular movie that tells me I can totally ignore it.
