We’re all blind apparently, because Dark has to be somewhere on this list.
Goddamn I got to number 3 on the list and I was like, “Wow, I didn’t think AVClub would put Dark at number one or two”. I just assumed that Dark would be SOMEWHERE on the list. But nope, apparently there are 50 shows that are better than Dark. How could I have been so stupid?
You’re kidding me, right?
Am I blind or is Dark not even on this list?
Shrike, eh?
so spoiler alert based on the fact that DNA strands are featured in the credits, esp when Speelers’ name shows up, I’m going with the “son” is a clone of old Jack. We all know that cloning is a thing in the Trek world and Picard, having been cloned himself (Nemesis) won’t be happy.
Also the resembelence is almost TOO…
They never, ever care about actual facts here. Almost NO teenagers are pursuing gender affirming surgery, and they most certainly aren’t in South Dakota where that would have been incredibly difficult anyway. Puberty blockers are prescribed quite readily to cisgender teenagers and have been historically. This is all…
I am 100% here for making it so that bigots can’t enjoy a fucking thing.
If there’s a single nit I just need to pick it is that these are modeled vulvae and not vaginas. The vagina is the muscle on the inside.
Bruschetta is the one I hear pronounced incorrectly so much of the time, more than Gnocchi. Broo-SKET-tah, not Broo-shedduh.
For me, the trickiest part of the game was tenderly taking Bill’s virginity. I had to restart that level so many times.
Can we talk about pianos? This is the second episode where they were used, in episode 2 there is a piano in the lobby of the flooded hotel with a frog pressing down on some of the keys making music, then the piano in this episode is used to show how Frank and Bill first fall in love. There may have been one in the…
While a very small moment, Ellie knocking the hands off the clock made me laugh and continue to appreciate how well Bella Ramsey sells ‘sarcastic and genuine kid’ which is a really tough needle to thread. It would be very easy to make those two sides of Ellie feel like they did not mesh or were forced but she’s…
who the fuck put this beautiful, heartbreaking romance in my zombie apocalypse show!
As a queer person, I didn’t read it as a Bury Your Gays at all – they didn’t die because of homophobic brutality or tragedy, they died because they were old and content, it’s really the most beautiful, sweet, and sad episode of TV I’ve seen in a long time.
Kinda figured Tess wasn’t in it for the long haul, considering I didn’t even know Anna Torv was in this until the pilot aired, but at least she went out like a badass.
Before anything else, I legit started laughing after watching episode 6, I think, how similar thematically this show is to Dark. Like I get wanting to explore similar themes, but there are just so many things here that are so close to being the same, just in a different setting.
Battlestar Galactica was my intro to McCreary. He just went nuts on that with percussion, eastern instrumentation, etc. That music was as much of a part of that show’s genius as anything (even when it came to the finale, which most of us weren’t thrilled with, the music was just gorgeous and lush. Pound-for-pound, I…
Way back in the 90s when I worked there as a teen we’d pre-make the living shit out of EVERYTHING, especially for the lunch rush. There’d be something like 150 various sandwiches baking under the heat lamps by around 11am. The time between placing your order and walking away was the amount of time it took to put…
