I remember thinking when I saw him on Sarah Silverman that he seemed a little too good at playing a square authoritarian figure for someone who works in comedy.

I read the scene as Otto being legitimately outraged by the murder of the ratcatchers. In his mind, they are civilians best left out of the game. But Otto understands that merely by existing, his great-grandson was a combatant in the big game, and thus was always vulnerable to assassination. Which is why he’s upset,…

So the two year hiatus isn’t helping here, but how long has it been since Viserys’ death? Like, three weeks?

Your forgot Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler (real title!) which was actually a prequel to Gotham, which was itself a prequel where you wait the entire series run for Batman to show up in the final shot for a few seconds.

You’re the one trying to steal awards from women, so that a nonbinary performer can get a courtesy nomination every few years while a cis man wins Best Performer every year.

There should be a Best Nonbinary Performer award that is either given out like an honorary award (for years where there’s only one notable nonbinary performance), or if we get to a place where there are 3 or 4 standout performances in a given year, it can just be treated like any other category.

Spoiler for the series finale: the last five seconds or so contain what you really wanted to see for the entire series run.

I think the suits are concerned that if fans ever got a TV show called Batman where the main character is Bruce Wayne / Batman, it would be too much of a good thing and the fans would spontaneously combust.

Ew.

The right answer is that Janet paid too steep a price for her carefully orchestrated publicity stunt.

Carson was 67 when he retired. I wonder if they’ll let Fallon host until he’s anywhere near that age (which would mean approximately another 18 years of the show). It seems like the network late night talk show has been in a very long slow death spiral and it’s hard to imagine The Tonight Show could last that long……

Right? It’s been 40 years and people still talk about the “Lynch version of Dune.”

I think the HBO show’s legacy has been somewhat diminished over time by its status as a limited series that aired back in late 2019, immediately before the pandemic. Additional seasons (I’m not sure how they could have continued three story) would have kept it relevant, but I think for a lot of viewers who spent a…

“Trey Parker and Matt Stone had been at the center of the culture war long before it was ever called that…”

It’s been a while for me too, and I remember some debate about this point. I think this confusion was just the result of extremely poor characterization. Cole initially seems written as being coerced into a relationship, to the point where their first encounter feels a lot like a rape, which was interesting material…

They’re all too old or dead. The show launched several stars with good careers, so just let them do other projects where they play adults. Most people don’t still hang out with their high school friends when they’re pushing 30.

He’s already 10 years older than Bourdain was when he died.

From what I’ve been reading, that view is actually backwards — touring musicians are very much aware of rising prices, because the same inflation making tickets more expensive is also making touring more expensive. The price of everything, like crew wages, airfare, hotel rates, and on and on has also shot up for…

It’s true, that first Avengers movie spends about the first half of its runtime getting six characters to shake hands. (It’s worth noting that Cap has already met Tony’s dad, Black Widow met Tony during her undercover mission in Iron Man 2, and Hawkeye has crossed paths with Thor).
