On that last part, it only now hit me how weird AVClub’s silence on the Snowpiercer is. Even if the hits didn’t account for keeping the contiunous coverage running, I’d that show is one of the more successful genre shows around even if it isn’t big budget.

Yeah, this is actually something I found myself wondering about. My initial reaction was that this is a pretty bad thing to do someone, but the more I thought of it, the more unlikely it seemed the process server would do something like this for the giggles. Like if they had to resort to serving them in this…

I don’t think the issue here is a twisty plot for its own sake, I could easily see how most of the twists were necessary for the story. It’s rather, in my opinion, that they wrote a story that can’t be told in six episodes, so they have to move at such a rapid pace that there’s just no time to let anything rest and…

Okay, a lot to tackle here. On the first part, the method of sending the message to Layla wasn’t what was so stupid there, yeah sure it’s a goddess whatever. Although even there it was a bit chuckleworthy how quickly she just went along with everything, but that was just a by-product of how rushed everything in the…

Yeah, it would make complete sense if the potential third personality was the one who took those beatings and that twisted him into a monster of his own. That’s just not how the show explained that to us.

Something that baffles me about the show, on a more superficial level, is that it keeps unnecessarily dumb. Like I get that they are cramming a lot of stuff to each episode and this is a MCU show, but still there are there things that could be easily side-stepped or just not said. For example, the scene where Mark(?)…

This was for me a peculiar episode that really encapsulated my sense of this show as a whole. The first half of the episode was a sheer delight for me and I was already counting this firmly as the best episode of Moon Knight. However, then the second half really started falling apart as things became feeling more and…

I’m a bit torn on what this means for Snowpiercer.

They’ve already announced and started production on Season 4.

What made it even weirder was that while some characters constantly repeated their motivations, which I actually didn’t even realize until now thinking back on the film, there were other characters where I could not comprehend their actions at all.

I have to start this by admitting that I don’t know why I keep getting Villanelle’s name constantly wrong. It is genuinely starting to bother me.

I mean, I kind of get it, but I also think Jennings’s take illustrates a central challenge with the discussion itself. Before anything I think the show’s ending is really bad, I just also don’t think there was a good ending available. The show essentially wrote themselves in a corner by deciding, I’d argue correctly,…

Well, at least this gives me hope that someone might greenlit that Telltale Games’ Batman game sequel.

I’m still embarrassed how long it took me to figure out that Queen Mary and Mary, Queen of the Scots, were two different people.

Yeah, I actually ended up doing a deep dive into Elizabeth’s early life a few years ago and was just struck how amazing her rise to power was. Just that it even happened, but then that she became the ruler who she was.

Jesus Christ, I keep that same mistake. And that would be really interesting take.

As a sidenote, I was actually thinking on the Tudors TV show recently again and there’s this one aspect of that show that I have never been able to understand. If anyone knows of an interview that explains it, I would be truly grateful.

To be honest, I actually this is a really good period of time to focus on and has a lot of really intriguing stories to Elizabeth’s rise to become one of the most iconic monarchs in Western history. Edward’s reign, Jane Eyre’s nine days on the throne and of course Queen Mary. With especially that last being such a…

It’s tricky as we will have to see what the story will end up being, I’d point out wussing out like that on Marc’s character is completely in-line with MCU in general. I mean just look at how they resolved the Ronin story in Hawkeye.

That Tomb Buster movie was probably one of the most brilliant setups in the show so far for me as it just instantly makes so many things more sensible.
