the second one was actually really enjoyable.  It starts off slow but it picks up and goes insane towards the end 

I wouldn’t be so hard on yourself, they were each about two microseconds long. It was a pretty weak way for the show to add in a bunch of important narrative information. 

I don’t know if a second season will opt to get into it, but the cutting off of white people from magic could have interesting consequences. Like how much white does someone have to have in their bloodline for this to affect them? It could be a potentially interesting story for someone who is 1/4 or 1/8 Black (a…

I swear I saw a shot when they were flashing the missing plot points that showed Ruby laying down in a similar fashion to the other coma victims. I got the impression that Christina lied about killing her, and that yeah, she’s in a coma.

Christina was incredibly interesting, but I thought that a lot of the things that made her interesting and likable also made her a better, more interestingly motivated villain. She’s pretty clear that her desire for immortality is more about doing magic for magic’s sake, the things she could make magic do, after…

I also wanted a slower burn, the pacing felt very rushed but I think that was to make it harder to discern who was holding the aces when the moon hit it’s zenith. If they explained the plan better or established how Leti was acquiring so much power it would have collapsed the surprise of her getting up and laying…

All I could think about it that scene is how tragic it would be for a child to kill anyone and how generally villainous the scene was. Even killing a racist witch, the shot of someone standing in the light of a full moon with a bionic arm and demon companion doesn’t come across overly heroic.

I’m not so sure Ruby is dead. If we don’t see someone die on screen, that’s usually to give writers an out to bring them back. Plus, the entire season indicated that Christina needs the people she and Ruby morph into alive (both William and Dell were in comas, but still alive). So I’m thinking Ruby’s probably in a…

Christina was way too sympathetic and helpful a character to deserve that throatcrushing, which was administered by a character who was in no way murderous previously.

Leti was resurrected by Christina as Ruby. You see her saying the spell in one of Ji-Ah’s flashbacks. Christina was trying to keep her promise to Ruby not to hurt her sister in her twisted way (after beating the hell out of Leti and tossing her out of the tower of course).

“A pale and rather exhausted looking Democratic nominee, pushed through the primary as the party’s favored choice mostly due to the optics of his former post”

That’s not “disappointment,” it’s “hyperbolic bullshit.”

Wallace is so right wing. The framing if the questions shows it. Biden, will you denounce antifa? Trump, was the economy the best ever, or just the best America has ever seen? Biden, why haven’t you stopped the riots in Portland? Dude, it’s 1 fucking block downtown, it’s not a goddamn riot until Trump people show up.

I can’t play the both sides game and shut down facebook for the foreseeable future because that was the first comment that I saw from someone I still liked when I signed on last night. I should have known better and retreated back to my twitter echo chamber. One came to the table with some policy ideas (they weren’t…

Honestly I am just so fucking angry at posts like this. At Biden’s age I hope to be curled up by a fire, reading a book and drinking wine, while my grandkids play close by. This man is stepping up to try to save our country, after unimaginable grief, at what is likely the end of his life. I didn’t vote for him in any…

I mean, how many shows can claim to have started a national conversation about how often we use queer women as cannon fodder in our fiction?

No, IG-11 did not kill Kuiil. Yeah that last sentence kinda threw me off too. I think IG will come save the day with the Razor Crest or maybe the other Mandalorians will come and save Mando’s ass...again.

So  boy does he look like ...

My biggest problem is that they made a point of showing Jessica secretly start recording audio with her phone when she first encountered Salinger in his apartment in episode 4. That was the first time Salinger acted like he was being assaulted and called 911 but also revealed his plans and admitted to doing some shady…

Maybe off topic but: I’ve never liked how both the TV and movie adaptations of IT present the narrative in two chronological parts, the children’s story and then the adult’s story. In the book, with both narratives going at the same time, I think the story is more powerful because Pennywise is slowly revealed over…

Absolutely agree!
