Segel was great as DFW and was consistently one of the best parts of HIMYM. He’s an underrated talent and I bet in 10 years he’ll be directing Oscar-winning films.

Well...he was also in Freaks and Geeks, which is a free pass forever for a lot of folks.

I always felt that it was sad that the miller’s daughter had to marry a guy who was going to kill her if she didn’t spin straw into gold, and then made her do it two more times, just to be sure. What a jerk!

Rumpelstiltskin’s main moral is: DON’T SING A SONG DETAILING YOUR SECRET NAME. Talk about a bad and diabolus ex machina-laden plot.

Well, “with a minimum of effort” seems like the most appropriate way to watch Clerks. Surely it’s how Randall would do it.

You’re not allowed to rent here anymore!

The Good Place season 2 is good news, as it reminds me that season 3 is coming to NBC in September.  I’m going to rewatch 2 as soon as it shows up.  Cannot WAIT to see what the new season does....

But lots of kids in the 90s loved the Sandlot.

you raped a lot of women in high school?

A coming of age movie is generally something that’s beneficial to the younger generation. It’s nice to see that other people are going through and dealing with the same shit you are. When it’s set in the past, it’s usually nostalgia wank for that generation.

when i saw the movie Kids i fucking loved it (i was also about 15 at the time). was doing all the same shit as the kids in the movie and it resonated with my my friends and me. still resonates with me as a matter of fact.

Oh, more phony Hollywood bullshit. He doesn’t even look like he’s in his mid 90's!!

god i’m so glad trial & error is back

It would be really great if the season ended with the battle between Wonkru and the convicts having destroyed Shallow Valley, and then they cut to Monty and Harper a few hundred miles away, surrounded by green from the surviving apple tree and the surviving canister of algae.

It was pretty clear to me that one of the deaths Madi had relived was Lexa’s, and she undoubtedly saw Clarke from Lexa’s eyes as it happened. She therefore knows that her adoptive mother watched one of the two major loves — a Heda — in her life killed suddenly and violently. It makes sense that Clarke is so opposed to…

I would have sworn Indra was going to die, and was pleasantly surprised she didn’t. Octavia much like the Roman dictator’s she based her reign on suffer from the violence solves everything and it probably did, trying to reign in all these warring factions to survive but at the cost of her sanity. At this point she…

Lol I’m sorry but it’s literally what the show is about. In its past it definitely has gotten to the point of being overly traumatic and hopeless (s3 and 4), and it sure could use some more lighter character moments (this season’s been better), but overall it’s about what these characters have to do to survive, and…

Any ideas why Becca was burned at the stake, as we saw in Madi’s memory? And there was just a brief moment when it hit Clarke that Madi must remember Lexa too. I have a feeling something is going to come of that— not erotic memories (I hope) but a point where Madi has to use Lexa’s memories to appeal to Clarke.

I love and hate the whole Lexa backlash stuff. On one hand, it’s a testament to the writing and acting that the character landed so well, and was so devastating to see go. On the other hand, a show like The 100 shouldn’t be precious about killing off its characters with such high stakes... and it has been fairly…

Great episode, and review. The scenes with Octavia and Bellamy worked *really* well.
