“Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!!!” - Koko, probably

It also looks like they’ve nerfed the “slow zone incident” a bit.

For the non-book-readers (spoilers for this scene in the books), when the ships are stopped in the books everyone who is not in a crash couch gets turned to paste, like Mateo. The majority of people in the combined fleet are killed. The ships are…

I’ve always wondered if it would be a comfortable way to fall asleep. Like, just floating in zero g.

Agreed. My side take to this is that because so much of horror film world for the past 20 years has been absolute drek that when people see something that is just competent then they tend to hail it as genius.

I definitely think there was some absurdism at play in Hereditary. The scene where Collette is describing trying to light her kids on fire as if it’s just a totally normal side effect of sleepwalking and can’t understand why people can’t just get over it made me chuckle.

When I saw The Strange Thing About The Johnsons…

Nah. It was easily the best song. It was exactly what a Eurovision song should be. Catchy and campy as hell. The chicken noises were fun and why so many people liked the song. It brought something quirky and memorable to the game. And Netta actually is pretty talented.

Also, she never said Toy was some complex,…

For what it’s worth, you can suggest Netflix pick it up.

I am a big fan of the podcast, but I’ve mostly steered clear of the fandom for these exact reasons. They’re just too manic and like seem to adopt a sense of propriety when it’s convenient.

It’s literally a comedy podcast about people getting murdered, raped, and maimed but the fans are constantly admonishing each…

Thank you. I thought I was going insane. I’ve tried to listen to his stuff more than once and it’s actual rambling. It was like listening to a drunk uncle. Its popularity is baffling to me.

Sorry but a bunch of refugees fighting over the last available resources is hardly what “colonialism” is.

It’s almost like................they want you to. ;)

“I’m not saying anyone that is white and roots for a Boston team and hunts is racist or a Trump voter or anything like that.”

LoL That’s exactly what you’re doing, sweetie. Just own it.

“may have represented a risk”

You have no idea what the attendants are actually responsible for in an emergency, do you?

I am 100% with you. Preach!

I commented recently to a friend that Westworld is what happens when a Black Mirror episode is unnecessarily stretched out over several seasons. The Nolans have always struck me as being those kids who really want the teacher to know that they DID the reading assignment.

Also, she takes forever to get to the point/goal.

Yeah, I am just not really sure what the point of the show is anymore. I mean, of course there was going to be a second season, given the success of the first, but it should have ended where the book ended. Not knowing what happened to Offred is really the perfect ending to the story.

Nothing’s being said or shown that…

They would do well to think about how being in a de facto segregated environment is negatively affecting their children’s education and preparedness for society at large. School is about more than book learning.

Ok, but yall gave the world “aboot” and “sowry” so we’re more than even.

The only thing I can think of is that for some reason it was all part of some larger conspiracy to let the park go to shit for 2 weeks or something like that. But even then, what?

Yep. The show still feels like it never graduated past the level of interesting thought experiment. This is ok when you’re doing a show like the Twilight Zone or Black Mirror, where the stories are anthologized and resolved within an hour, but this is a serialized drama. As such, the implications of the technology and…
