I’ve always thought that the reason musicals these days are bad (and you hit at this briefly) is because the musical is fundamentally an action film, and the directors that have drawn to the musical don’t know how to direct action, and the directors who know action would never direct a musical.

The soul of the musical…

Rene’s awful flash forward wig is to me the star of that storyline & indicates he is the star of them, as Amell was of the flashback ones

This is exactly the mess Coveney was warned of by the Medical Council of Ireland in December, when they begged him to defer the implementation date of the law by up to three months.

That’s why I’m liking Terry Crews more and more all the time.

Of course he wouldn’t say something that would be that obviously devisive.

To be fair, a lot of people in this generation are still offended about black people moving into their neighborhood and women daring to do and want jobs.

Dear AV Club, I wonder if you would be so good as to update your editorial guidelines to remove “in a wheelchair” (to say nothing of the more insidious “confined to a wheelchair”).

The respectful usage is “uses a wheelchair” and variations thereof. Some quarters of the disability community feel that “in a wheelchair”…

So, Chidi was right worrying about using almond milk in his coffee all along, nice twist.

I don’t think any of this was supposed to be suspect. We knew Good Place people are formalist and they always follow the rules. This exactly the kind of thing immortal beings who think like Chidi would do. They have time to analyze all the possible consequences and they will take it. The funny thing that the one…

I love how they both clearly knew what would be appealing to the other. 

...was enough to make me shrug “fair enough,” and like a movie I probably would have criticized a couple of years ago.

Yeah, but if I take my rough draft and read it in public, people get to say, “Hey, here’s things this guy said in public.” That’s what public means.

what, slamming a sexual predator who ruined women’s careers (or threatened to) if they spoke out about him being a predator? You’re right, some real hard-hitting feminist take THAT is, it DESERVES to be published on an extremist website like Jezebel that [checks notes] advocates for women prisoners to have basic human…

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a show try to crunch an entire season—honestly, multiple seasons—into two hours before, so hats off for kinda making it work, Timeless. There were a lot of wonky bits and the five years later stuff—little Amy and Flynn especially—were a bit too neat a bow on top for me, but I’ll forgive a…

The response to his cry for help seems more like punishment than actual help. He gets barred from doing his actual job, relegated to saying one line to introduce Miley Cyrus (which seemed more like a ‘proof of life’ thing than anything), has to get security to keep away his ex who turned up at his place of work and…

Hard disagree about the ending being pure sequel set-up. The disorienting way the camera spins around Cap as he emerges into present-day New York, and the look on his face as he realises what he’s lost (‘I had a date’) are devastating and essential to his character. People talk about Infinity War being novel as a…

Because she did something good and then immediately died. The problem seems to be that there are too many ways to lose points. Mindy got enough points from her one great action to push her over the threshold, and didn’t have a chance to lose points after that.

1) This was a pretty mind-blowing episode. Who knew that Darcy Carden was that talented an actress?

Don’t make “sexual jokes” to women at a work party. It may or may not be sexual harassment, but yes, it’s clearly wrong and unprofessional and gross.
