Not that I expect brilliant international relations analysis from Jezebel, but I have to love how for all the complaining about imperialism, this is the most America-centric analysis of Ukraine I have ever seen. There isn’t even a mention of Europe, their over reliance on Russian gas (especially Germany), NATO,…

Yeah, I’m going to have to disagree with this assessment. Would it have been better for Boba Fett to find a guy who has a psychic bond with the Sarlacc and trick his way out? I actually don’t think it would be.

He just… kind of punched his way out, then blew some holes in the monster with a wrist-mounted flamethrower. It clearly took a toll on Fett, who must now sleep in a bacta tank to heal,

I think the difference is if you are able to look back retrospectively and realize the “sense of justice” was always secondary and always really about a single injustice, slavery and that because she personally related to it in having never been in control of her own life. Which is good so far as it goes, she should…

I read the books, but none of that is relevant to the show criticism. At all. Shows and books are different things, both aesthetically and canonically. You may have also missed that while the Seven in the books are a quasi-Catholic Trinity deal of multiple aspects of the same entity in the show it is a clear…

Except it totally was, IN RETROSPECT. That’s the point. They were disguising the heel turn while at the same time making it obvious in retrospect.

Really looking forward to this, especially with the introduction of Vesemir and the focus on Geralt/Ciri relationship as I feel that is what makes the show genuinely feel special.

There’s a poor ratio of filler/story that they sort of were committed to since they started with so many characters, but I also enjoyed the final seasons and frankly, the non-prestige tv pace. It helps that I think Daenerys’s arc makes sense, if truncated, and had been seeded throughout.

I’m not! Which I’m well aware puts me in the minority here, but while I accept the final two seasons definitely had a dip in quality, I think most of the issues were just from trying to fit in too much in too short a space of time. And maybe I’m swayed somewhat by the fact that my two favourite characters ended the…

The first season was crap, the second season was all over the place and wasted Lucy Lawless, and the fifth season was a massive regression in quality. Season 3 was fun but the series peaked with the fourth, and the writers never seemed to grasp how much of an arsehole Fitz was.

Denying the actual existence of a group of people is hateful no matter how much you don't want it to be

I know nearly everyone else is delighted but I hated his run on nu who , so I'm out until a new showrunner comes in. ( And dammit Mark Gatiss was right there!! )

I’d actually like to hear a politician say something like

The comparison to Cats is deeply unfair as the screening I saw in NYC a few days after Christmas in 2019 was of the most joyfully deranged interactive movie going experiences of my life. It probably helped that the audience was packed with drunk gays and gals having the times of their lives experiencing the…

This kind of smells of desperation, like Doctor Who maybe hasn’t been doing too well ratings wise so they’re going for fan service instead of moving the show forward. And, I mean, I’m sure Davies will do fine; I don’t particularly love or hate his time as a showrunner, but I do appreciate how he revived it and helped…

Also ..being healed by the entire universe’s love for him or something. Also also cringingly bad jokes and ‘this’ll age like milk’ pop culture references.

Me.

WE DON’T SPEAK OF MIRACLE DAY

If this weren’t coming after Chibnall’s run (which I found genuinely disastrous in a lot of ways) I’d be really frustrated. As it is, it just feels...tired? He’ll do a competent job, at the very least. But you can’t tell me there aren’t other potential showrunners out there who are more interesting, and not the…

The world of the MCU having “Rogers!” as a “Hamilton” stand-in is an amazingly funny detail.
