I'm never going to get mad at Glenn Close, Olivia Colman, or Patricia Clarkson winning awards. Oh is a wonderful actress who was outshone by her co-star. 

I now really want to know how apprentice firefighters work in Kevin Hart's mind. Before someone shows them the "correct"method, are they just tossing gasoline on fires or what? 

I mean, I get your point but Sunny is the most freakishly capable and self reliant baby/infant on Earth. She holds down secretarial and bellhop jobs. This seemed to place Beatrice II as a much different kind of responsibility.

I get how this ending makes thematic sense - the Baudelaires, having learned from horrible experience about bad parental figures, become parents themselves and have the chance to do better. But it's still three traumatized children suddenly thrust into parenthood. Happyish, I guess?

The only times this show works is when it fully embraces the chaos and insanity of some charismatic villain performances. This unfortunately means that the show always either drags villainous schemes out to extreme lengths or drowns in kitschy chaos. I actually like what they've done with the Bruce and Alfred dynamic…

I still think the smartest thing this show did was hire Warburton, whose hangdog deadpan is not only perfect for the narrator stuff but also surprisingly moving at those moments where he becomes part of the story or struggles with the unknown.

In some ways this felt like the absolute bleakest this show has gotten. Hey kids, even someone as powerful and well meaning as a good judge can’t protect you. Which is true to the books, sure, but is so hopelessly sad.

The whole plot/thematic thread of the Baudelaires becoming as morally problematic as the people they resist - which is really pounded on in these two episodes- has never worked for me. I'm all for exploring moral ambiguity but the Baudelaires only ever act out of basic survival needs or are victims of contrived…

I also loved how efficient they are about setting up Fisk's motivations. It's essentially just a scene and you get exactly what he wants and why. 

I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed Aquaman. I found that take on the character almost unbearable in Justice League but he really worked in the context of a deliberately cornball throwback action movie. They could have trimmed about thirty minutes (either make the movie about the trident quest or cut it…

Read Dave Rudden's Twelve Weeping Angels, a book of Doctor Who short stories loosely themed around the twelve days of Christmas and twelve different species/villains from the franchise. They vary in how effective they are - I thought the Ice Warrior story was pretty generic, for example, while the Silence story is a…

The Mass Effect games. I don't really know why it took me a decade to play one but it did. And a few weird missteps aside, I really enjoyed the whole series (well, less so Andromeda, which is very different from the others). 

I love the very underrated Riding in Cars with Boys. Such a warm touch as a director.

One Day at a Time really does have a great cast. Even the kids bring depth and humor to their parts. They also have a great knack for finding guest stars who will blend into the ensemble really well. While we're on family sitcoms how about Speechless? I don't think this has been their strongest season but it's another…

I was really apprehensive that they couldn't equal Lithgow's performance in the first season but she was great - flamboyant, deeply sad, and genuinely a little scary.

Yeah, it massively surpassed my expectations. For a show that openly pitched its premise as “R-rated Last Starfighter" it was surprisingly funny and even touching.

Such a fantastic actor and good in everything but to me he will always be Henry in Eureka, both the show's most lovable and most complex character. 

Seriously, the one and only great moment in JW was when they gave in to their inner monster movie geek and had the indominus face off against the t rex for no other reason than it would be cool. Listen to that voice. No one is going to these for plot logic. 

Three by Helen Oyeyemi - the novels Mr. Fox and Boy, Snow, Bird (both very loosely inspired by fairy tales) and the story collection What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours. I guess you would associate her with magical realism but she has a distinct style all her own.

That was a very weird choice for a show that's usually more socially aware. Whoever thought the "lies like a Syrian" thing should be repeated multiple times?
