Like I said, it looks like it’s genre is “nostalgia.” 

“Angry men on the internet will have to deal with yet another Ghostbusters movie being centered around women, but hey, you’ll live.”

I didn’t find Deborah horrible. And I did see growth on both of their ends. Progress isn’t always a straight line, and both of them did revert at various times to old habits, but the relationship they develop and the mutual respect is really interesting. 

The commander saying, “It’s real,” and, “I want to go home.” I think that “Lady Loki” showed her who she really is. A variant that the Timekeepers pulled in and mind wiped. I may be wrong, but that plot thread leads to a major reveal.

This episode does have a title.  It’s “Glorious Purpose.”

She went up there and shot Tony Soprano.

I am so grateful that the AV Club and Myles in particular continued to cover Shameless all the way until the end. He was able to put into words issues I had with the episodes or give a different perspective that I hadn’t noticed. I actually stopped watching Shameless after S5 and this reviews caught me up on things…

Honestly, I don’t think they could’ve killed him off in a worse way than they did. I thought to kill him from COVID, to use a disease that has killed a half million people, as a plot point, felt crass and calculated, and opportunistic beyond all measure. It felt like one last ditch effort to justify the the expense…

They keep re-centering on Frank because he is played by William H. Macy (still—as hard as that is to believe). Macy is an incredible actor and I’ve liked every film role I’ve seen him play. Everytime he is on-screen in Shameless, however, I fforward like hell until he’s out of the scene—not because of Macy, but…

I don't know, the treadmill is pretty hysterical. 

Yeah, I remember that, keeping Lithgow as a perfect family man would have been such a better story and bigger moral challenge for Dexter. Making him a monster at home was just one of many of Dexter’s cop-outs.

I apologize for I should not have mocked the modern day Jonathan Swift, Colin Jost. As penance for my sins I will force myself to watch Kate McKinnon dressed as Hilary Clinton singing Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah on repeat until I find SNL funny again.

also I love that fact that you are holding up Simpsons knowledge like some badge of pop culture intelligence while simultaneously bitching that they need to uproot their entire show cause it’s racist

I think the general idea isn’t so much that Harry Shearer shouldn’t be allowed to play Dr Hibbert as maybe not every single character regardless of color needs to be played by a white person. If it were an occasional thing and POC were getting their fair share of voice work, it would be less of an issue.

That’s just it; I’m glad these matters in show business is being discussed, but what sparked all of this was racist police violence, so this feels like a distraction tactic. 

She didn’t ‘win’ at all, her reaction to her defeat was basically ‘am I so out of touch....no, it’s the progressives that are wrong’ (and it still is). And she has just as much blood on her hands as Trump does with everything she’s done in her political career.

We need to prepare ourselves for it in November because Trump and the Republican Party will seize on that wait to create chaos and delegitimize results.
