I’m one of like five people who was happy with how the show ended.

If anything the final season rolled her “going crazy” meter back a bit which is why maybe her turn at the end felt so sudden. But they were building up since season 1.

I thought Smith really shone this episode, him and Alcock seemed like they were having a lot of fun with their lines.

The injection of I’m-three-weeks-into-cultural-studies-101 takes are the worst things about these reviews.

“... ended with what is arguably the most poorly thought-out character assassination in television history: In a rushed heel turn, Daenerys Targaryen, our intelligent, ambitious, and charismatic (if controversial) heroine for eight seasons, looked down on King’s Landing from astride her dragon, went abruptly apeshit,…

She frequently posts items on her social media that are consistent with radical feminist beliefs unrelated to her trans exclusionary tendencies.

For all those concerned about violence who responded - a slap is very different than a closed-hand (fist) hit.
And looking at the size disparity between these two, I believe that he could probably have defended himself had it escalated.
I sincerely doubt he felt fear for his life or safety in this instance.

Man, I wish The Last Jedi were as quirky and interesting as it’s fans claim. It’d be pretty great to have some offbeat production fueled by passion amidst all the blandness.

The Kylo think read more like a poor attempt at negging to me, ie. he was trying to het her to join him by tying her self-worth to him. God Reylo was such a toxic ship.

The OT: How f’ing cool are Jedi?
The prequels and sequels: But what if they sucked? 

Oh, I don’t think anyone should be shamed, and maybe three isn’t the magic number, but at some point, the possibility has to be raised that maybe some folks, in their current states, aren’t good fits for marriage.

I know right? Nobody said we have to choose only one of these things. I love it too!

I loved when Kenobi was running on the same night as Ms. Marvel. I like MCU films and DC films. Why is it one or the other with some people?

I feel like there were Snyder stans who would call MCU fans insults etc. and it’s really…

It’s okay to do something different, but make sure it’s good. Disney proved they understand this with Rogue One, but TLJ was a big misstep, and honestly TROS just made things worse lol.

The Last Jedi is a mess of a film. The whole Casino subplot is effectively pointless but the main plot dealing with how fucked the Jedi are as a concept (smug, arrogant, rigid to orthodoxy, blinded by their own history) is great.

The part that gets me is the “volcano expert” suddenly realizing that volcanoes “turn lakes into sulfuric acid” when they’re halfway across one in a melting boat. There’s also this part where they’re driving and a big lava flow surges across the road ahead of them. They screech to a stop, but then Brosnon starts…

I have! It...isn’t as good. The volcano action is way more restrained and while it has its moments, it isn’t nearly as much great cheese, it takes itself just a pinch too serious

Yeah, I read the full thing this morning and actually thought her statement was quite good: supportive of Bean while also emphatically in favor of intimacy coordinators in general. I think it was entirely appropriate--Bean hasn’t been accused of being inappropriate on-set or during sex scenes, he just said something…

Exactly. All this ageism is pointless. There are old people like Bernie Sanders who would be great presidents and there are young people like DeSantis who would be terrible ones. Yes, Joe Biden is a mediocre president, but he isn’t mediocre because he’s old -- he’s always been mediocre.

“But it’s amusing to see some people assuming that if Hulu doesn’t run these ads, people will never, ever learn about...”
