I really loved the moment, late in the episode, when Mount is bring a tray of something or other over the others, and something else happens that clearly raises the tension in the room, and he silently adjusts his course and ends up just looping back to his kitchen.

It means you can sing karaoke to it.

SLJ sitting at a table and talking with someone is generally good. See also both his big Cheadle scenes, the firing one and the one in this ep.  “Acting!” [makes Jon Lovitz arm-sweep but is also serious]

I do notice her end credit in each episode so maybe not far off.

Yes: the thing to learn is that, with the bosses in particular, when they turn red for an unblockable attack, your dodge isn’t going to do it (unless you’re far enough away to not get hit anyway).  You must, must, learn to “perfect parry” as I think it’s called.

Too much corn hubris, for sure.

Also, rewatchability: there just so much going on in ATSV that I’m sure if I saw it again without having to pay attention for plot I’d find a lot of things I didn’t notice before.

Like when Brooke literally is invisible when she’s briefly “not in the industry”.

I also feel like I’m learning a lot of inside-gay stuff that I wouldn’t normally.

It would be nice if this article knew what The Game actually is: it’s a revival of the CW football-adjacent comedy(/drama?), not a game show.

In fact, the right to not distribute something is a part of copyright. If I’m an artist ashamed of my barely-released early work, I’m not obliged to re-release it to keep copyright if I’d rather bury it.

To my mind, Anson Mount is playing Kirk and calling himself Christopher Pike.  Hair aside, if they told you that was JTK you’d 100% buy it.

Well, yes.

That mean NOT-cis.  Geez.

The lesbian contingent of TERFS would disagree.

I think it’s not quite that; they’re angry that being not-trans should have its own word, because it’s the God-given right of not-trans people to NOT have a label, because “no label” means “normal”. It’s called the distinction between “marked” and “unmarked”. Note for instance how we nowadays disfavor words like…

Well then, you modify your BEST(tm) metric to incorporate that.

GSnyder’s posting addresses that: half the time is the “there is none” case, and then you’ve lost.

Because the question is not “when you’re ahead, what should you do”, the question is “what should your strategy be before you start, given that you may never be ahead.”

In Dammit Barry’s defense, you can see his logic: since the video footage was just unscrambled that day, the change “made no difference” in a very Schrodinger-like way.  It didn’t matter until you could see it.  Sadly he didn’t understand the “rules” well enough.
