That's a good point. 

Andi Mack treated its coming out story with such humor and compassion, the same way it treated other “mature” themes. It's a shame that Disney doesn't seem to be welcoming that anymore. 

Birds of Prey was a lot of fun. Forgot how much I enjoyed Rosie Perez onscreen. I wish it was doing better so we could get a less Harley-centric sequel (fabulous as Robbie is, I would like Winstead in particular to get more screentime). 

How crappy a spaceship is this? (Pun semi-intended.) How would you not have several redundant instruments measuring your oxygen supply? Wouldn’t those reveal to you instantly that there was no leak?

The Smithers sub-subplot was funny. I liked the blockchain gag in Burns’ office. The Frink stuff was fine. It feels like somebody on the writing staff thought they had a killer cryptocurrency gag that they wanted to get out of their system. 

Graham is easily my favorite of the Doctor's current companions but his relentless, optimistic mocking in this episode was incredibly annoying (and, as you note, a strange way to treat traumatized survivors). I get it, "hope" was the big keyword here but stop going on about it. 

Ma the movie was fun trash but Spencer is legitimately terrific in it. She could nail a Whatever Happened to Baby Jane remake. 

Genuinely emotional Rosa always works for me, especially after the earlier fakeouts.

Lillis was really good in Gretel & Hansel and carried off long, nearly wordless reaction scenes.

This was weirdly structured. I can’t think of another sitcom episode that was about 1/3 clip show and 2/3 original stories. Still, there were some solid laughs (I liked their inability to remember Dylan correctly) and the final scene between Cam and Mitchell was nicely acted by both of them.

I do not understand Judd from scene to scene. He goes from self involved egomaniac doofus to borderline sociopath to sad sack neurotic. I get Matt. He puts on a facade of cheerfulness but is not so secretly loving the chaos. 

Everything in this episode felt like a retread of older episodes. Unexpected windfall to the town leads to wacky town meeting where Marge nags everyone? It’s “Marge vs. the Monorail.” Homer is worried about automation at the plant? It’s “Them, Robot.” Bart finally likes school while Lisa is suspicious of something…

The whole story of Allegra Byron and how Byron (and, to a much lesser extent, Shelley) treated Claire and custody of her daughter is so sad.

While I don’t disagree, he was undeniably influential on some considerably better poets (like Browning) and his essays on everything from politics to vegetarianism were important. 

Rewatched the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise from beginning to end. Look, it was very, very cold and I’m sick so I had some time on my hands. Curse of the Black Pearl is still a lot of fun. The characters feel fresh, the tone is balanced nicely between comedy and action, and the story actually holds together. Dead…

Did I have a weird crush on Ricardo Montalban as a kid? Yes, yes, I did. Do I remember getting scared by episodes that in hindsight seem like pure camp? Also yes. 

“Both my parents died falling out of lighthouses. Separate incidents!" So. Many. Questions. 

This was the rare episode where Mitchell was the MVP for me. His grunting Parisian act was funny, as was his instant abandonment of it, and it was sweet that he fought against his own hatred of Fizbo to reassure Cam.

It’s probably the most I’ve ever liked Renner.

Honestly, the effects in the patched version weren’t great but the most striking visual problem to me was Hooper’s complete inability to settle on a scale. Sometimes the cats appear to be human sized in relation to objects and the spaces around them, sometimes they seem to be, well, cat-sized, and sometimes they seem…
