You’re right, guns can be used for lots of things. They make fancy paperweights. You can throw one as a ball if you’ve not got access to a ball. What the fuck else do you think guns are used for besides killing or wounding? And it doesn’t stop people from killing others, but it does reduce it dramatically. See, for…

A strong tightening of gun distribution has been proven to work in Australia and the UK. I would point anyone who doesn’t believe gun control would reduce gun violence to this article: http://www.theonion.com/article/no-way-to-prevent-this-says-only-nation-where-this-36131

And JK Rowling and RL Stine.

Butter knives have a non-lethal use. It’s in the name.

I’m blaming the country that continues to make it easy for lunatics to get hold of these objects whose sole purpose is to commit murder. I’m blaming anyone who thinks their ‘right’ to own a gun is more important than the rights of a thousand children a year to live. If you oppose gun control legislation, I’m blaming…

Jesus Christ, are you actually trying to sympathise with a GUN? ‘It’s not the gun’s fault, leave it alone!’

I get what you’re saying, but that intention doesn’t seem to be borne out by what Dan Harmon says specifically in this interview https://www.fastcompany.com/40461815/pickle-rick-and-space-prison-inside-rick-and-morty-season-3-with-dan-harmon 

At the funeral they’re going to put him in one of three coffins...

So, it’s bad. There’s no real denying that. But it has some imagination, some inventiveness, which made it a much more interesting watch than some objectively better shows I’ve tried to watch (I’d rather watch a second episode of this than The Handmaid’s Tale, for example).

That depends on the ratings. 7 weeks isn’t long to lose ratings - if they manage to dip below about 1.5 million viewers in that time, I’d say there’s no hope for it returning, it’d just be a fool’s errand. However, if they can keep it above 2 million (which shouldn’t be too tricky) they would probably be able to…

Can we get a DCAU movie of this? I’m sure the [surviving] original PR cast would return to voice the characters.

Good old Disney. Now, if only ABC can get better at marketing its shows, or maybe Disney could look into international co-funding; there’s absolutely no reason Galavant and Agent Carter should have been canceled for the quality they demonstrated. A UK deal (BBC, Channel 4, Sky1, take your pick) could have saved them,…

Can’t we have a Shrek2fest instead? It might actually be fun.

Kind of, but he was also very much the guy rebelling against the system. He’d been put down, ignored, mistreated, he deserved better, and so he fought back to get it. That’s pretty rootable for. And he makes all of these horrible decisions, but they’re kiiiiiind of justifiable. But they get less and less justifiable.

The thing is, Walter White got less idolizable (sic?) as the show went on - one of the fun parts of discussing the show was determining just where people stopped rooting for him - and any moments of glory were swiftly chased by moments of horror (look at Dead Freight, for example). With Rick... I dunno, the show is…

I don’t go to London often enough for this to affect me, but my Facebook feed was absolutely lit up with people bemoaning the decision today. Many were understanding (if annoyed), but a lot were swearing blue murder or starting/sharing petitions to get it changed.

I think episodes like ‘Pickle Rick’ help to perpetuate that notion, to be honest. They deliberately said that they wanted to take Rick to his weakest and still have him kick ass - kinda making him hero-worshippable, there. (The comparison they gave was Four Days Out in Breaking Bad, but Walter White was still pretty…

...okay, that was so much better than I expected it to be for such a basic premise and such a short run time. Nicely done.

And The Good Doctor has nothing to do with The Good Fight, The Good Place, The Good Wife or 1970s British sitcom The Good Life. GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, TV.

To be fair, I still didn’t know he was alive - it could have been some sort of hallucination (haven’t yet seen the movie). Admittedly the shot of him joining in the combat with Eggsy lends itself to being real, but it still could have been imagined. So, kinda blown the surprise there.
