Couldn't agree more. The first episode should have just been the exam. We should still be in the first week of classes, and he shouldn't be with the Physical Kids yet.
I can't swallow having the Dean know about Fillory and Martin, but I wish they would let us savior and understand Brakebills more.

So did Marcia and Darden actually hook up? It certainly seems like they could have.

Yep. I loved the novels, but this feels so rushed. They could have spent an entire episode just on taking the Brakebills exam.
Instead, they've thrown us into a place without any established rules or explained how magic, and Brakebills, exists in this universe. If you don't create a real world for your characters to…

How have I only heard on this adaptation now?!? I absolutely adored the Magician trilogy. I'm so happy!

I would love to see on set photos of Cohen dressed a Mercury. He certainly does have an obvious resemblance.

I love this game, its just that I sometimes get so caught up one exploring around and owning orucs that I forget to even begin the missions.

Yeah Wander Over Yonder is amusing. It owes a lot to Ren and Stimpy and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Haha, I want to check this film out now. Pressure Point, not Fear.

Well read it. Its pretty great. The show has a lot to recommend to it as well though.

Loved it. Just loved it. Btw, the "optional" allowance" that Jimmy tells Maine about was the first hint that the audience had that what Sandpiper was doing might not be above board.
This is from Uproxx:
"The piano piece played by Chuck in the cold open — “Sicilienne,” an unused Gabriel Fauré composition created for…

So good. And we sofar have two member of Spinal Tap: David St. Hubins And John "Stumpy" Pepys. "He was a tall little geek."

I'm surprised that the first movie was able to get itself out of it's own ass after Dylan McDermitt referred to watching "Breaking Bad" while Joint Chief Staff Robert Forrester was in the same movie and also in the universe of Breaking Bad.

I'm giving away free money!

Oh for sure. I'd love to see more from the Aubry-Maturin series. There are literally thousands of pages of source material to choose from. And I'm sure it would be less expensive to film than the first one.
Actually, the first one made a sizable profit from a cost of $150 mil, it made $212 mil. and was nominated for 10…

It is about what you say, but I would add that in trying to make his kid feel safe and happy ( a noble goal) he also put in danger the lives of his fellow prisoners on many occasions.
During the translating scene when the German guard asks him to translate to Italian, I just wanted to punch him in the nose. He could…

Right? You just know he was a creepy chid. Whereas Ted Cruz was a creepy adolescent.

I, what?

Oooh this looks interesting. I've always been impressed by Ramanujan's story.

Let's make a new Indiana Jones movie, have it take place at the University, flesh out some of the students and other professors, nod and wink to known Indiana Jones references, and,oh, no Indian Jones. Sound good?

I can honestly say that I have never had even the tiniest inkling of interest in Pokemon.
