Is La La Land really that good or is something we all will feel embarassed in the few years, like Titanic?

There was years ago a website dedicate to annotate references and trivia from the series. No idea if it's still around in some form.

And the crows!

JS initials?

The second one could be Shakespeare's The Tempest. Both Stefano and Prospero are references to it.

Don't forget the Volunteers Fighting Disease!

I always picture them something closer to the Amish or even Lovecraftian cultists with their crow-worshipping.

These two episodes are a good example why they should aim closer to 45 minutes rather than one hour with the running time.

Retroffited for sure. I can't recall any hint to a secret organization until book 5 or so.

I actually snorted when I saw the Wide Window in the last episode thinking "Is that it?". I mean, my kitchen window is bigger than that.

We get a brief description of some scenes and character names. I haven't read TUA, so all my recollection comes from TRR.

Bingo. Part of the tension in the books (and the movie) was feeling helpless to Count Olaf's clutches as good, decent (if flawed) adults died one by one leaving the Baudelaire children fending for themselves. Here you don't feel that tension. In fact, with the whole VDF subplot, it feels rather overstuffed.

That would have been so awesome!

Oh, no! He saw The Queen of Diamonds!

"An empire over an empire!"

He will play the eyepatch guy from The King of Queens.

For some reason this brought to mind all those rehab center scenes from Infinite Jest.

Oh yes, when he sings that shanty and let Aunt Jo to the leeches' mercy.

Zombies in the Snow's description was easily one of my favorite bits of the book and I'm happy they adapted it just as I imagined it!

Easily him waiting on the hallway with the knife was one of the most chilling moments of the movie. I wish they had kept that threatening tone througout the movie.
