I agree with most of what you said except the breaking bad stuff. I think in hindsight it was actually bryan cranston who started identifying too much with his character, which led to major creative decisions with the showrunner. By the end, Cranston was the one who was primarily dictating how has character’s arc…

I propose, as a general rule in Hollywood, that no television show can go beyond 5 seasons (6 in rare exceptions). I think that the past decade has shown that no show, regardless of how good the concept is, or how good the actors are, can maintain its own standard from beginning to end. There are no showrunners or…

That’s one thing that I’m coming to enjoy more and more about the protagonists in these dramedies lately. Our struggle used to be (and still is to some extent) that we couldn’t risk centering mainstream stories around characters who were flawed in ways that made us uncomfortable or resonated too loudly. Now, we not…

I always wonder if we should blame the child or the parent when the child doesn’t succeed when they go to these fancy colleges. A good parent would know or have some strong idea of whether their child can cope in such academically rigorous environments. It’s often the parents who are forcing their dreams unto their…

I know we generally want to encourage more people to donate to good causes. For the people who genuinely believe that these large donations to schools, that already possess meteoric endowments, are actually altruistic- then I suggest that we eliminate the tax deduction/credit for these donations within 1-3 years of…

so glad this show is getting a second season (series?). don’t care what kind of shady metrics netflix used to justify its renewal.

Miss Cracker is in real danger for me of becoming a bitter mean girl. Maybe we don’t see how annoying Eureka really was because of editing, but Cracker didn’t do herself any favors when she didn’t skip a beat in telling Eureka that she had a fat joke for her hot off the presses (after Eureka had just slammed the girls…

does anyone know what is the name of the song that is played when xo and rogelio are dancing in season 4 episode 12, when xo re-discovers her passion for dancing?

I think, based solely on the strength of Messina as an actor, that he could pull off a convincing character transformation for the better. I think the show would send a great message if it used the danny/mindy relationship to show what a modern professional couple could look like if the man scaled back his career to…

I meant be together or be single, although when they were together they kinda were simultaneously in a relationship with a single person’s mindset.

At this point, I think the show has a track record of kind of villainizing mindy’s exes to make mindy look better in retrospect for ending her relationships, and giving the audience an excuse as to why she remains single. I thought, for once, with Ben that the show would acknowledge that mindy’s relationship ended…

I’m of two minds: I think Danny and mindy were supposed to be endgame when the show was first created, and Messina/Kaling’s chemistry was a huge bonus. After the way the show butchered Danny’s character though, it would take a miracle for me to be excited about Danny/Mindy being endgame. The strange thing is that I…

If anyone wants to know more about how this was made I would recommend listening to the Inhumans review from Now Playing Podcast. The hosts really painted a picture of what the inside baseball looks like at Marvel.

I didn’t realize how much of a difference it made that the comment section was on the left side of the screen. It’s kind of hurting my eyes having to focus on the right side of the screen, especially if the comments are nested. This transition would instantly be a lot easier for me to adjust to the comments could be…

guess I’m using chrome now because without nesting the comment section is a nightmare. don’t know what I’m going to do when I get to work though cause you can’t customize the browsers

jeez, this episode got me in almost all my feels. what can you do when the heart wants what it wants: whether it be your childhood crush, your cheating ex, or your childhood friend-turned emotional white knight, who is, oh yeah, married. All I feel is sympathy for these characters.

I'm paraphrasing, but if I remember correctly, he was fired for his statements about the biological inferiority of women to men in the field of engineering, at least. Google claimed that those particular statements created a hostile working environment and broke their code of conduct His comments about not having a…

there are so many things to unpack as a result of charlottesville and trump's response, but the thing that I can't find a resolution to is the issue of how broad a brush we can use to place blame for our current political/social environment. On the one hand, I don't think every white person is responsible for Trump…
