See this is the kind of weird shit thinking The Muppets thrived on.

Agreed!

For older viewers, it may be difficult to connect to a story that so heavily centers the next generation

No, that’s clearly “Marijuana Bear”. Possibly “PBR Bear”.

Not to spoil anything, but when Kit is getting ready to sneak out at night she climbs on top of Jade (pretty much in “cowgirl position”) and gives her a kiss on the lips. I think “girlfriend” is pretty accurate here.

There’s a full on, on-screen kiss even. This is not a “well, the subtext says they’re super into each other and will spend the whole season pining for each other”, this is “we haven’t quite defined what their explicit relationship is quite yet, but it sure as fuck ain’t platonic”.

What could have been...

It’s true! A Willow is actually a type of tree.

The twist was that the most important character was the friends we made along the way. 

I kind of loved it. It took me years to realize that Willow was this big financial disappointment. I remember literally everyone in my generation seeing it. We had sticker books, ffs. It’s not perfect, but it was extremely charming and unusual. This surprised me most by aiming straight for that charm and unusual…

Elora Dannon. Brought to you by yogurt: the food that makes Aubrey Plaza normal.

I have been a member of that cult since seeing the movie in cinemas when it first came out. I had the collectible cups from Wendy’s that changed color when you added cold beverage. That movie heavily informed my pop culture vocabulary. It wasn’t a big hit at the time, but it did decent enough business.

You clearly haven’t seen a lot of 80s fantasy films if you think Willow is bottom-of-the-barrel.

Major kudos for not trying to drag out the “Who is Elora?” mystery, since I’m sure I’m far from the only one who had it pegged the second she was revealed to be lower class. Also, it’s pretty amazing to FINALLY see a Disney product that says right off the bat “Yeah, they’re gay. So what?”

I’d like to see them revive the New Gods movie. Not because I give a shit about the property, just because my old high school chum Tom King was co-writing it.

about when Lucia ran into Alessio, to me she’s dated him in the past, and it was a random run in. Translation from Reddit: He asked her if she was having fun and she said she was. Alessio asks why Lucia hasn’t written to him. She says because she went out to take a walk. Alessio asks why Lucia hasn’t responded to him…

Love Slow Horses. It slyly bills itself as a comedy, but works great as a thriller. That happens to be really funny. Especially when Gary Oldman is insulting people.

Goddamn, a Punnett square reference! All the stars to you, sir!

My thoughts are scrambled after that final scene, so here they are in no particular order:
