um… are you criticizing a TV critic for watching TV…?

I think it's more that it was so heavily loaded towards exposition. It's not just that he's knitting threads together. It's that an unbalanced portion of the episode was devoted to housekeeping, and much of that exposition was just reaffirming things we already know. For me, I understand that these things eventually…

But, condescension aside, I don't think criticism against the series is unwarranted. It's okay to be upset about the pacing or the tone or anything else. That's anyone's prerogative.

Pardon my condescension, slugger!

Interesting. I got the impression that it was Mother from the Purple Room.

:/ It's almost as if Lynch… is doing things the way one might expect Lynch to do. It seems silly to act all hoodwinked or betrayed when we have 40 years of Lynch's documented habits to draw from.

I'm wondering if the billionaire isn't Audrey Horne.

Oh, Wally is seen, and it's gloriously surreal.

and the distinct and racialized history of chattel slavery. The distinctions of white and black that Anansi piercingly brings up in his monologue provide a unique context to the brand of slavery imported into the Americas and strongly influence the understanding of race and the suffering of people of color today,…

Oops. I didn't realize someone had already spoiled. There's little pieces here and there hidden in the subtext of the series already.

You might be on the right track. ;) There's been some pretty big hints if you're willing to read between the lines.

Yeah, but it doesn't sound like this is Paul Rudd's passion project. It's being created by an indie publishing house who probably don't have a lot of money and had to jump through some hoops to get the rights.

I mean, yeah. No one wants to play Diagnosis: Murder, A Telltale Game or listen to Music Inspired By Empty Nest, The Series.
