“Plaza is fresh off a scene-stealing turn in Netflix’s Happiest Season (complementing all her other scene-stealing turns over the years)“

I personally have a problem with the use of ‘they’ as it is so linked with a plural to me.

Gender is fluid, “they” can be singular, and they can use whatever pronouns he damn well pleases.

I yield to this comment. Best one in the thread.

Hope those teens like annoying middle-aged adults!! 

“I recognized this game. It was called Galaga, originally published in 1981. It involved shooting down hordes of aliens inside a space ship. I had a pretty high score, but not as high as the high scores I had in games like Missile Code, Defender, Centipede, and Asteroids Deluxe, which are also arcade games originally…

I’m not saying that people can’t learn and grow in terms of taste, but people seem to forget how much people loved Ready Player One when it came out, including The AV Club, which gave the book an “A.” I feel like that evolution is way more interesting as a phenomenon than talking about how good or bad the first book…

There’s “write what you know” and there’s “write an entire fantasy world devoted exclusively to your personal tastes and interests and pretend that it represents the entirety of ‘geek culture.’”

This season had a ton of great character names I'll give it that.  Hawley clearly had fun with the names. 

So, seasons? For me it’s 2>1>>>>>3>4. 2 by a smidge over 1 and 3 by a smidge over 4. A wide gap between the first two and the second two, though.

That was it? Wow that was a whole lot of nothing. Just like this whole season. It’s amazing that 11 episodes passed and it feels like nothing happened in them. It felt like they were just killing time until the end and when they got to the end it was just a bunch of clean up to make it align with later seasons. Like…

Oh hey, remember the Roach? No sign of him this week. What was the point of that? And why did he save Ethelrida from Oraetta?

I’d read the shit out of that. There’s so many movies that go into each year looking like they’ll own and either tank hard or disappoint badly. 

Tom, if you’re looking for a follow-up feature as you enter the home stretch with this one, may I suggest a year by year breakdown of the biggest film financial failures (i.e. greatest difference between budget and return). You can call it The Popcorn Chumps.

I’m not angry any more, this is sadly par for Handlen’s DISCO reviews

Zack threatens to open old wounds that have long since healed, risking all-out war within the fandom by being unable to reconcile the two continuities.

Ohhh Zack, you are going to make so many people angry by confusing that Abramsverse destruction of Vulcan with the discoveryverse/realverse destruction of Romulus.

and in a surprise upset, the Bst R&B Albm Grmmy goes to Jthro Tll.

I don’t want to spoil it, but during the televised ceremony, they were going to surprise him with a Bst R&B Albm Grmmy.

Former and latter are mixed up in that sentence. However, I have to wait for somebody else to edit it. My bad.
