“fuck you, fuck Netflix, fuck sunrise, fuck Shinichiro, and fuck American pop culture”

Yeah, “very few” is an exaggeration.

University libraries seem to have it more than public libraries. 

Words to live by.

My advice - not that you asked for it - lower your expectations, and let go of how you think it should be. Let it be its own thing or don’t see it. Otherwise, you are going to be disappointed

I’m very apprehensive about this. I was a huge fan of Artemis Fowl when I was a Kid. I’ll be very pissed off if Disney messes them up. The main reason I loved them is because I’m Irish and the Fowl books were the first YA books to introduce a new modern updated take on Irish traditional folklore and mythology. Eoin…

The iridium is brought by the impactor. The Earth’s crust is relatively depleted in iridium compared to its abundance in meteorites and comets; so one explanation for a sudden spike in iridium in a sedimentary sequence is that it represents impact fall out.

You could infer from “Split” that the Beast is its own opposite due to the multiple personalities and how its physicality changes with them.

My issue is less the misery porn than her turning Willow’s arc from “power corrupts and turns her into an abusive, controlling asshole” to “addicted to magic weed.”

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that while Season 6 of Buffy may have turned the misery porn up to eleven, it’s not as if that show was entirely free from mopey angsty self-pity to begin with. They were just better at disguising it with witty zingers.

Ambrose was using a laptop in episode one, so it’s definitely not the 70's. I assume they’re trying to do a Legion sort of thing - some undefined alternate present that’s aesthetically retro and slightly disorienting.

No, the gay thing was to shame them, as they were bigots. It was reversing their prejudices back on themselves. That's why they were bullying the boyish girl. 

Goddamn. I love this show. I really hope a renewal happens.

Noooo! This show is SO STUPID GOOD. The second season is a bunch of poo jokes but somehow you end up crying in the last episode during the Horsehead Collective reunion show.

The average Fox News viewer thinks George Soros is that powerful.

Am I the only one who felt young Maggie was way too young for Jack Murdoch? She looked like a teenager while he could easily pass for thirty.

“I know the show wants me to believe he wouldn’t hurt her despite feeling entitled to her presence as a moral compass”

I like the idea that the red room was every room and no room but sort of a dimensional portal of both time and space within Hill House. I wish the show had explored that more.

I was very on board with this show ... until this episode. Tacking on this treacly, falsely happy ending not only undermines the excellent dread the show has been building so well for 9 episodes, but uncomfortably pushes a pro-murder/suicide message. I think a much stronger ending would have been having the remaining…
