If you google "Joss Whedon Mother's Day tweet" you will see very many news/blog posts about how his mother is dead.

65% on Rotten Tomatoes but an audience score of 93%, for what that's worth.

Ozark ended in an interesting way, setting up a possible season 2 while completely obviating the need for a season 2—the emotional throughline was resolved, and there was no cliffhanger to speak of. I liked the show, though, so I'll watch some more if they make it.

Counterpoint: it seemed like that trap involved touching anyplace on the map that wasn't Israel.

But the structure of the scene is so hilarious—Let's not forget that the giant revelation comes after she offers such pointless trivia as the number of steps in the Citadel, the number of windows in the Grand Sept of Baelor ("None now," so good), and the fact that the High Septon catalogued all his bowel movements.…

Especially since Two Buck Chuck is famous for being cheap mass-produced wine that they package and sell. Like, that's what makes people feel good about buying Two Buck Chuck! That and the drunkenness.

Yes, that episode brought the subtextual themes of the series crashing to the foreground. The idea that insignificant decisions can cascade into momentous results, which Marty is flat out saying when another driver's decision to light up a smoke sets into motion the events that lead to the Byrds running for their…

You're good.

I hope there's a big season-ending reveal in which the mist dissipates only for everyone to discover they're trapped under a dome.

I'm disappointed—not in Ozark, but that the AV Clubis not doing an episode-by-episode review of Ozark. My opinion of the show is almost the opposite of Erik's, and I'd love to read some discussion about it. (Especially the fragmented eighth episode.)

It's going to be awkward when Scaramucci has to fire and/or hang John Barron.

It's amazing how my interest in any show or movie can be completely dispelled by those three little words, "and Fred Armisen."

I know, it's horrible, you can't turn on the news or open a newspaper without seeing another stories of entire neighborhoods going up in flames just because the residents had the temerity to be pro-Trump. You'd think straw men would be a little more hesitant to set fires.

I absolutely love David Warner's work—both Time After Time and Time Bandits were seminal moviegoing experiences for me as a kid, and I just rewatched the Omen a few weeks ago—BUT! His paragraph about the Omen, halfway through I was struck by how much it sounds like a meandering Donald Trump anecdote. Reread this in…

[Throws Bag of Holding into Portable Hole and slips away in the chaos]

I know that finding photographs to illustrate every story on this site is a difficult and thankless job, but illustrating this story with the image of a bathroom fundamentally misrepresents the wonder and the glory of the piss tape.

I loved the scene of Arya encountering the Lannister soldiers and realizing they were just regular, decent human beings. But then after the episode I realized this was probably the only example in 6 seasons of Game of Thrones in which a squad of soldiers would encounter a lone young woman and be decent. After all…

The group of friends with whom I watch GoT have a deadpool for this season, and I'm betting both Ser Davis and Lady Lyanna Mormont bite it. I hope I'm wrong! But if they do I'll be up a hundred bucks or so, which will help blunt the pain.

Question for all y'all: Since Danerys has three dragons, can she make her own dragonglass? Up until now I've been assuming that dragonglass was basically obsidian made when dragon fire fused sand into glass. But as of this episode, it seems like dragonglass is something you mine from beneath the ground.

That story about Andrea being the lead in Party Down and having to be replaced by Lizzy Caplan because she got pregnant casts a fresh light on the season 2 episode in which she appears ("Precious Lights Pre-School Auction"), where she plays a former actress who quit to be a mom, causing Lizzy Caplan's character to…
