This is still not coming out for 10 months? Holy Christ, are they hand-animating it?

Yeah, I wonder if article author has looked at their local news schedules: local starting at 4 and ending at 6:30 is increasingly common.

I presumed that the fact that all the pics are essentially identical was a deliberate joke, and I enjoyed it.

Also: “They’re showing a limited joke persona, as much jerk as they could get away with it at the time.” — probably “limited jerk persona”.

OK,  just realized: TM went from playing several different people who all look alike to playing one person who looks like two different people.  TWIST!

OK, one more point here: the entire twist adds nothing to the story, except that by putting it at the end of ep 9 instead of deep into 10, it gave me and others a chance to guess that she was the killer. If you’re going to make Poppy be Becky, make the murder motive be that someone found out! Or something! As it…

It’s got the usual Marvel/Disney insanely long end credits, which also include a stinger, so it’s a 23-minute show at best.

Semi-related...am I the only one who thought, when the curtain went up, that they were doing the stage version of Singin’ in the Rain?

“What was that whole tangent about Charles family for?”

The more I think about this the worse it gets, actually. Never mind hanging out in the bar — Poppy, in the present day at least, accompanies Cinda when she records people. The entirety of “All is Not OK...” would have made with Poppy in tow. Cinda never interviewed anybody who knew Becky, the subject of the podcast?…

He only made up “really wanted to be a doorman”, I think.  I think?

Also, Becky tries to disappear in her home town, goes to NYC, meets Cinda, and then goes back and hangs out in a bar in her home town?

Also...”breech”.

If you look at it as a TV adaptation, the ur-text for it might be the many, many, BBC/Masterpiece histories of British royalty, whose factual outlines are very well-known but whose details are not uppermost in even UK viewers’ minds.

I really hate “my thing is more important than your thing” posts, but speaking of new management of stuff Warners owns:

Three days after watching: new prediction is Poppy/Becky is the actual killer, despite them pointing us at Cinda this week.  No plot reason, just structurally; we think Poppy is very much on our side because she’s downtrodden, and we’ll discover she’s just wacko.  Although, two wacko women in two seasons seems like a…

No idea what the comics continuity is on this, but if Bruce and Jen share some weird DNA because they’re cousins, I wouldn’t be amazed if one of their shared grandparents was either Kree or Skrull.  (Skrull because of the green...wait, are MCU Skrulls green? Whatever.)

Even on its own terms, I want to know if the USO girl was fucking Steve Rogers or Captain America. That is, knowingly.  (Also...1943?  What was he waiting for?)

Mmm... I can’t prove it, but I suspect shows that were made for HBO proper are safe. Of the ones you list, only Station 11 was a Max original.

As a tangent: I will never stop being amused by the fact that normal TV shows are advertised as “A CBS Original!”  You know, a TV show.
