Casting controversies make great Twitter.

I think it was the first ep where I became conscious of Tom as a person who didn’t come from immense privilege. He’s not like these other people. In many ways, he’s almost like the ghost of Christmas future for Cousin Greg.

I was 100% sure Roman and Jeryd were going to bang. Talk about a first date going VERY WELL. It had all the energy of two dudes snorting rails and getting high on their own terrible ideas.

Leon asking if the TV had picture-in-picture was A++++++++++

Larry is a health freak, generally. Eating fries or French onion soup seem like odd choices. Maybe he’s less strict at this stage of life?

Really hope Blade Runner show goes the Young Sheldon route.

Jane Campion has been missed in cinema, but can someone PLEASE show me the man and woman who could possibly have generated both Benedict Cumberbatch and Jesse Plemons?

Love McKay and essentially everyone here but we need more narratives that don’t read like alt-right delusions -- incompetent government hides truth from the people. Only redeeming angle is that scientists are ostensibly the protagonists. Would legit love to see a movie where a government says something and, gasp, it…

2 things:

My favorite element of the episode (among the many listed in this recap) was the notion that Logan in control and Logan out of control look essentially identical from the outside. The differences between the two are microscopic at best. The whole thing reminded me of the idiotic 4 years we spent hearing about Trump’s…

Really liked Freaky (Happy Death Day was similarly fun). I think his masterpiece is The Breakup — he takes all of the things he’s known and loved for and, in the hands of a director who knows him well, curdles it in a way that gives the movie a legit refreshing dramatic reckoning.

Guessing Cheryl’s anti-vaxxer marriage is keeping her off the show for the most part this season?

Ricky Jaymatti 

Robert Altman was similarly hampered with a cocaine habit during portions of his career, so maybe it makes an odd kind of sense for this Altman tribute to have a similar issue.

Trying to game out this plot in my head. The Comanches/Eastern Shoshone win and yet face ethnic cleansing and displacement at the hands of Europeans, they lose in a pretty straightforwardly downbeat iteration OR they win and, in an alternate-history twist, end up using their learnings to repel Europeans from North…

Just give Chuck Lorre a call -- he might have some ideas how to handle her exit. 

Highlights:

I’m here for John Early’s outfits. Truly, the costume designer should get all the Emmy’s. 

As your comment shows, it’s the kind of show that is immune to indecisive release strategies. Put it on fucking Tubi one ep per month for 10 months — it won’t matter. People will find it.  

This show isn’t for me but I do love that there are shows ripping up the ratings (CBS procedurals, for example) that we TV snobs pretend don’t exist. Truly interested in the “parent” TV culture. Do they do recaps? Do they have forums somewhere? Maybe Facebook? Podcasts? Really curious about this “sub” culture.
