I was a very happy Barry finally stood up for Iris with Nora. Several episodes of Barry staying silent while Nora treated her mom like crap was starting to make him unlikable.

Does your hometown have reanimated corpses, blind seers, dead talking relatives?

It just feels like the other shoe waiting to drop. Madam Satan coerced Sabrina into doing the Dark Lord’s work. When Lucifer appeared, he was deliberately terrifying and horror-inducing.

Just as it’s kind of ridiculous that it took Sabrina’s friends so long to figure out that a family with the surname “Spellman” are witches, anybody who’s seen The Devil and Daniel Webster should know exactly who “Nick Scratch” really is.

All of the snark can’t quite disguise the fact that this is pointless clickbait. Can you really be superior to something when you’re part of the system that propagates it?

They’re not bringing back Amaya. But they’re bringing back a magical creature who looks just like her.

We know Rick’s vision had a chance, because civilization existed before the zombie apocalypse. Whether this is the right time and place to reignite that spark is another question. But the idea that because this world is not peaceful now, it can never be peaceful is flawed and ahistorical. There will always be…

He’s the one who defeated Negan.

The Sara/Ava relationship has always felt a little too domestic for this show, but the introduction of John Constantine as the world’s most insane third wheel solves that problem nicely. Just when I’m getting bored, there are dancing knuckle bones on the kitchen counter.

I don’t know if Gary’s gay, or if it’s just John…

Dominic Purcell was born in England, but he’s actually Australian.

Maggie is pretty conclusively in the wrong here. She is advocating for mob rule here, even if she doesn’t see it that way. That the young women of Oceanside took her summary execution of Gregory as a greenlight for their own series of extrajudicial killings should have been a very disquieting revelation for her,…

I don’t see a Mike Schur series ending with “and they all burned in Hell forever, the end”. He’s telling the story of the journey of these characters, and it wouldn’t be satisfying for them to end up exactly where they started.

“Bleak” and “ballsy” get conflated a lot, but sometimes being earnest and optimistic is a…

Making Enid Siddiq’s apprentice was a great move. Makes a well-established character more useful both to the confederation of communities and to the writers.

I figured in the #MeToo era, the time for Animal House-esque inadvertent statutory rape punchlines had passed. But, for better or worse, “Always Sunny” proved me wrong.

I interpreted it as “The Good Place” writers inverting Outback Steakhouse so that this time it’s the Australians making a trite, shallow, exaggerated and distorted caricature of America into a middle-tier table service restaurant chain instead of the other way around.

The interesting thing about what Netflix chooses to renew and not renew is that it seems to be revealing about what people are actually watching, rather than what they say they’re watching.

It was a very interesting choice by Netflix to release only the first six episodes to reviewers, because the last four of the second season are by far the best episodes the show has ever done.

Without spoiling anything about the larger plot of this season of “Iron Fist”, I just finished the tenth episode and this was definitely more of a warmup for the character than the main act.
