Not so Captain Positive now, are we?

So, if I have this straight:

And Jesus fucking Christ, I just realized who was playing Toby: Chris Sullivan from The Knick! Fuck, I knew I recognized that voice, but couldn't place it, because I didn't know Tom Cleary without his beard. Also, I really liked his character.

I just read about that and had to look up his quote. Holy moly… I mean what in the name…. I guess it's okay to say 'Listen, innocent until proven guilty' and taking a liberal approach to this and so on, but this shit? Man, I did not know Wayans was such an idiot.

Aaaaaaaw.

I think you could easily compare this to what Marvel is doing with their Cinematic Universe.

Interestingly, it's also the best out of the seven books (though, after the dreadful last one I haven't yet dared to open up Wind through the Keyhole).

Ouh boy. I really, to my total surprise, totally liked this. What an utterly pleasant hour of television, so far on the opposite side of all the forced, evil anti-heroes that dominate premium television these days that I can't wait to see how they spin a weekly show out of this. Because, frankly, I don't have the…

Then you're clearly misremembering.

Don't remind me. That show was cancelled too soon. Like most FOX comedies. Remember Enlisted?

This is a show that feels like it needs a couple episodes to find itself but will turn into must-see tv around the middle of those first 13 episodes. By which time it'll already be a sure thing to be cancelled by the end of the season.

I thought the actress Jameela Jamil had really good comedic timing and her repressed frustation about her soulmate who wouldn't say anything was a real good starting place to get conflict going - though they didn't manage yet to make it actually funny.

The bearded one, perhaps?

But remember when Carrie almost drowned her baby?

They cancelled Dexter for this?

Stiller. And it's even funnier when he and Estelle Harris are yelling at each other.

Right. They could have done something with incest, instead.

I, too, love how over-the-top violent and vulgar this show can be without being off-putting. It's a fine line they're walking and (for the most part) it works out perfectly. Even the really ugly scenarios (like last week's when Gambie - knowing that Brown is a recovering alcoholic - tempted her to a glass of gin and…

Has AV Club dropped regular coverage on this one?

It did give Patton Oswalt his first, real exposure to mainstream audiences, if I'm not mistaken. So yeah, KoQ has that going for it.
