I would watch Ryan Hansen read a phone book, so I’m still going to be into this. (Though from that publicity still, I just realized how much he looks like Dax Shephard. I wonder if that makes it weird for Kristen Bell.)

Oh god, I hated it.  It was so unrelentingly dark (like, actually dark, I couldn’t see half of it) and it spun its wheels forever.

I can understand where Mackie comes from (even though he went about it in just about the worst possible way, just short of hashtagging nohomo). I think that close male friendships where they’re emotionally supporting each other and physically close do need to be celebrated and normalized.

The nice thing about art is that it can be a lot of things.  I can definitely also see it as an allegory for immigration, particularly the “they live among us” moments.  

Okay, but the first two are not your business at all unless they affect you in some way (aka your dad is dying or your dad is going to need assistance to live or your dad’s illness is hereditary) and the last one - eh?  I mean, does your brother’s biological father participate in his life at all?  If not, what does it…

Well, I really liked it. It was a bit jarring to see some very Alexis-esque faces on a very non-Alexis character, though.

There’s a subtle difference, I think. I grew up thinking my parents were perfect, infallible creatures because they never talked about any mistakes they’d made. When I was 28 I learned my father dropped out of college for a semester and attempted to drive himself around the States on about 50 dollars! If I’d known he…

It’s a metaphor.

I don’t think Serena ever had any intention of returning to Gilead with Fred - their plan was to go be free so she could whip the people up into a frenzy. Serena is like a lot of people - she preaches certain dictates and then gets mad when she realizes that she spun a golden web around herself. She has no intention…

I like the movie! (Way better than the book, which is not a thing I say often)  But I just don’t think it would have been what it was if it hadn’t been for Meryl Streep’s performance (and I say this as a die hard stan of Annie Hathaway and her very cute bangs in that film).

Jeanette needs to be treated at Skylin’s Only Therapist, whose terrible advice, like “return to the scene of your kidnapping” is really baffling.

Well, I think it seems pretty clear from the last few minutes that June realizes her thirst for revenge has made her unfit to be a parent, at least in the short term.  She basically gives Nichole to Luke and earlier in the episode she admits that she isn’t good for Hannah.  I think she figured she needed to do one or…

Even though this made, as you stated, so very little sense, it did kick ass and was incredibly cathartic. Though the entire time they were ripping Fred to shreds all I could think is “how are these woods not more well guarded on both sides?” And also wondering whether I would get that physically close to a place that…

This is . . . wow. You must love you some evopsych bullshit.

The season is over. The show itself claims it has four more seasons in it, but god knows how.  

Well, I mean.  She is the only reason to watch that movie.

Also, Hulu currently has The One I Love, and I suggest people get on it, if they haven’t already.

I’m excited for Barb & Star because I’ve heard it’s delightful. And I am glad I’ll be able to rewatch Dear White People again!

Yeah, Jeanette definitely had this sort of weird line between being “too eager to be popular” and “an actual psychopath.”  The scrunchie thing and the way she told Jamie right away about Kate’s disappearance with the advice “they always look at the boyfriend first” instead of, like, “oh god, your girlfriend is…

God I hope it’s an anthology; this story is perfectly wrapped up as is. Please don’t Big Little Lies it.
