It mostly reads like an unnecessary remake of the 1996 film, but it’s going to be the 201? musical, which has not been filmed before.

I’m really amazed at how completely mainstream PKD mindfuckery is now.  (Although he wouldn’t have tipped it so early.)

(We probably should doing this in the episodes threads when they appear but...)

That couple’s name is allegedly Hart (as per the calendar thing), so either that’s an, uh, upcoming reveal, or it’s not.

That it’s the musical seems like it should be a little more prominent in the story, no?

Excuse me: it’s a “CBS Original”, the laughable way that they’ve been trying to class up their shows by making them sound like a “Netflix Original” or whatever.

Wait, 1960s Austria was a hotbed of socialism?

“I grew up with these characters”

Every time I see the Tardis actually moving through space I just wince and get sad. Seriously, is the idea that it makes that noise, then materializes in outer space, travels, and then...teleports loudly back to the ground? It’s both logically and aesthetically terrible.

OF COURSE I paid $17 for it about 3 weeks ago.  OF COURSE I did.

This seems like it wandered in from The Onion of years ago, and I’m all for it. (For all I know Gwen once wrote for them.)

My least favorite is “It’s a disease with a 99% survival rate”, which they say because they figure 99% is the biggest percent there is that’s not 100, right?  And then also believe that we should “just let everyone get it”.  So, 3.3 million dead Americans?  Uh, hold on, gotta make that percentage even bigger...

The Hat was never wrong, as such, but was unable to say “You’re asking the wrong question”.

Juno’s-Dad J.K. Simmons, or Whiplash J.K. Simmons?

I think there’s a good chance nobody on the set knew what the final thing turned out to be.  I don’t even think the characters know about it, now that I think of it. 

It would be a dramatic big band sting, as heard on The Goon Show.  [Example hard to find before my laziness took over.]

Which just raises the question, how did those tanks appear without the wife noticing?

“Blockbuster ignored Netflix’s streaming service until it was about to put them out of business, by which time it was too late. Why theaters don’t develop streaming platforms is beyond me.”

It isn’t (wasn’t?) universal, but I’ve seen reserved seating that disallowed leaving one empty seat between your seat(s) and somebody else.
