So... like everything Jerry’s done post-Seinfeld

This looks lazy. Like if someone took that Blackberry or Tetris movie and just riffed until they landed on this.

Especially if they grow up around them. Ask any full-fledged adult who had bad parents if they react the same way around them as they do around other adults. Hell, I had relatively good relationship with my dad, and yet I was hesitant to contradict him even if I knew he was wrong about something well into my twenties.

There isn't exactly an age limit on how people are taken in by narcissistic manipulative abusers. 

I have to pay for my own therapy, I have to figure out what — I mean if there was anything, if there was any truth behind them actually caring, there would be something more than quotes on a page by obviously a legal representative telling them exactly how to tailor a response.

1. I guess we’re never getting an ending season to Handmaids Tale.

One of the benefits of becoming an Operating Thetan.

It’d be a really deep cut if the surname was also a nod to Angelina Jolie’s ‘Salt’.

An idle person is Xenu’s tool!

Because good science fiction, especially hard SF like this one should make sense, instead of being built on an idea that seems on the face of it to be obviously wrong.

I probably won’t watch this, although I am open to having my mind changed. My problem with it is although it is all well written, and I have read the trilogy, I reject the entire concept behind the first book. It doesn’t make sense that multicellular life would have ever developed in that situation, and the rest of…

It feels like they were intended as Easter eggs but like... Red Apple cigarettes are an Easter egg. The ghost of the father of season 1's protagonist doing a dance that leads to the discovery of the corpses is more than an Easter egg. The same symbol from the first season cropping up constantly and being a central…

The thing about the Easter eggs in S4 is that they had bugger-all to do with S1, which is fine as Easter eggs are just fun secrets, but the execution was keen to point out “Oh look!” like it would mean something to the existing narrative.

He probably shouldn’t have been the one to say it, but the season one connections were really stupid. I liked the season over all, but it’s atmosphere and performances did a lot of heavy lifting. There was a fair bit of stupid in there.

I don’t know, I had very high hopes here (vs no/low expectations for s1 or 3, and high hopes that were quickly dashed for 2) especially because it seemed to be heavily influenced by Scandinavian dramas which I’m a fan of. I was disappointed in the season because it feels rushed (like it was supposed to be a 10 episode…

I’ve re-watched S1 several times in the last ten years, and it’s still my favorite miniseries of all time. I have not re-watched any of the subsequent seasons, nor will I ever re-watch S4. They are just not the same quality of writing, acting, directing, or production. I don’t care who is at the helm, or what sex they…

I didn’t much care for the series as a whole but it wasn’t until I read the López interview where she explains why she had the ghost of Travis Cohle show up and the meaning behind it. She said that it “was just an effort to be consistent with the universe.”

I don’t understand why there are some people that seem to have loved season 4. There are fans of everything. The fucking Spice Girls, one of most mocked novelty acts of their time, has remained a sacred cow with weird Millennials that didn’t even understand what being a lover meant when they were 4. The show was a…

Yes actually, as it was pretty bad. I thought it looked great going in but a few episodes in I realized that the writing was not working

I actually think Issa Lopez IS capable of making a great season of TV. Unfortunately, even though some of the elements were there.... this past season was not it. It was.... pretty bad writing. Maybe she needs someone to write with her?? The problem is, because there are so many inexplicable great reviews for the show…
