I did, but I was wasted at the time.
If you wrote a sitcom where some catty dancers were mocking a colleague by referencing a supporting character from ‘Sister Act’, you’d be told it was too on the nose.
Granted...
Oh man, why couldn’t it have been the 5rd?
Makes me think of that joke in ‘The Simpsons’ where Edna Krabapple says she collects matchbooks from trendy nightclubs, and then explains that she gets them by writing to the places and asking for them to be posted to her. Which is funny and highlights how lonely she is, but also still makes more sense than this AI…
There are just, like, so many ways this article could have been written to make readers agree with its point, and they chose none of them.
But if we taxed the rich, they might be sad for a little bit, which I’m told is the worst thing that could happen to a rich person. Does having enough money to provide for the basic needs of society really mean that much to you?
I was convinced for about a full episode that Urich wasn’t dead and they were just faking his funeral to make sure Fisk didn’t keep coming after him or his wife, simply because it seemed like that bad an idea to kill that character. Not only was it a great role and beautifully acted, it just made sense to have a…
‘The Defenders’ had a lot of issues, but the Jessica/Matt scenes were all gold.
Everything I’ve heard about that original story sounds awful. Not having Matt appear as Daredevil for the first four episodes might work (stressing “might”) if this was the first time around, but we’ve already seen Cox go through his journey of becoming Daredevil. Why hold that back a second time?

The enshitification will continue until morale improves.
It’s probably unfair to go by a few lines in a short trailer, but the dialogue is lacking the charm of the original.
I’ve always loved the bit where the gaang asks Zuko if he was the one to send Combustion Man after them, and he says, “Well, that’s not his name...”
But Ung was the best part of Shyamalan’s movie!
Even the original show admitted that the great divide episode could stand to be cut.
“OC ran aground in terms of story.”
I always loved this exchange between a very drunk Briscoe and Claire Kincaid in the latter’s final episode:
I have a question about this being a reboot. ‘L&O’ was an episodic show, set in the real world, with a cast of characters who rotated out as the seasons went on, so in what sense is this a reboot rather than just a continuation? Is there some massive change to the continuity of the original?
