I'd be alright with that, but I think they made it clear when Michonne first said it last half-season that she was referring to the currently living members of the group.

I was being hyperbolic. (They came dangerously close one time, though.)

Oh, no, the last thing I want is to go back to the days of characters looking directly into the camera every other episode and deadpanning: "It's us. WE are the walking dead.".

I really don't like the whole "we're the ones who live" thing. Were Glenn and Abraham not part of their group before they died, too? Weren't they also the ones who live? I can excuse its stupidity as a kind of mantra of self-reassurance, but it's also so disrespectful to everyone who has died.

The plot and character work are pretty generic, but the show has potential. It's got a good fundamental idea, and I love how annoyed everyone is by all the supervillain/hero stuff; that'll never stop being funny. Hopefully now that the pilot has established what's what and who's who we can get into better and less…

The shot of her with a crow caw played for punctuation to that suggestion was amazing.

I'm not up on this stuff right now, but is it really necessary for a story to be an antidote to what's happening in the world rather than a reflection of it? There can be value to the latter as well.

That's exactly how Pearl meant it, too. The gems have trouble with individuality and names; hence "the Steven" and such. "Our Greg" is less an implication of personal attachment than a simple gem-logic differentiation, although it cutely doubles as the former to our ears.

It is so refreshing to have an antagonist show up who isn't straight-up evil.

"I swear on my parents' lives that I will protect you." Um…

I can still read that poorly blurred license plate in the (fucking) header.

Space Bear. They pretty much gave it away.

Sounds like they come as a set.

Diego's j'art was transported to the coffee shop in a crate with the printed warning "DO NOT TIP."

I discovered Superstore at the same time as The Good Place, and I have similar levels of affection for it. It's smart and sweet. Very much recommended.

Please yes.

I like No Tomorrow, so don't get me wrong, but it kind of undercuts the optimism of its own message when the characters are consistently able to accomplish absolutely anything in life with superheroic levels of mobility and talent. It goes beyond cheesiness to a level of unbelievability that is distracting at best…

I laughed more at Jason and Janet tonight than I have ever laughed before.

I quite like the show in general. I just thought this episode was weak.

If you got points just for trying, I'd agree that Genisys makes a more respectable effort, but the trouble is that the more it tries the more it makes clear that it has absolutely no understanding of what makes Terminator good—or any movie, for that matter. Salvation might try less, but it's more palatable as a…
