The third season of Legion really falls off a cliff but the first season is an amazing Prisoner homage and the second is psychedelic as hell.

Something I just realized after finishing this episode: Jimmy is always at his most vengeful when people attempt to hold themselves accountable. Note how his true rage at Howard started when Howard confessed that he felt responsible for Chuck’s death. When Kim comes in to sign the divorce settlement, his performance…

Doesn’t help when the director is also the writer is also an actor is also the cinematographer is also the editor is also the music supervisor is also the catering is also etc.

The Gene/Jim scenes really did look like a Meisner acting class exercise, I sat right up when I realized what they were doing. So well done.

That blend of the street with the beach blew my frickin mind. Maybe a music video has done it or something, but I’ve never seen that before

Anyone else notice how Natalie’s show shamelessly panders to BanShe’s algorithm? The BanShe rep said that people were more likely to watch the whole show if the season starts with someone eating a dessert and if it incorporates Central Park.

For someone who was treated as basically the second main character in the early seasons of Better Call Saul, Mike has really taken a back seat in this final season.

“Final note: a bit disappointed in Mike for not sniffing out that something was wrong about Lalo’s threat.”

Didn’t the first movie feature a plot to assassinate the King of England?

Choose marmalade.

Lynne Ramsay’s Morvern Callar was a weird, enthralling movie.

I regularly teach “Stone Mattress” in my Contemporary Lit course. It’s an excellent story and my students love it; plus, the original New Yorker version is accompanied by an interview with Atwood about the story, and a few years ago the New Yorker revisited the story and asked A.M Homes to read it aloud, which is cool…

Not really related other than that they both air on monday, but I can’t believe HBO is currently airing the closest thing we’ll ever get to “The Wire 2" and this site isn’t recapping it.

“Or having the money to pay for it all.”

Do people not like Howard? I mean he’s definitely not perfect but he overall has been portrayed as a pretty decent guy IMO.

I read it as something a little more complex and self absorbed with Sally. She is only stepping back because she knows the relationship could jeopardize her career. Barry is violent and as much as Katie wants Sally to recognize her worth, I don’t think Sally’s actions are coming from a place of self love. She isn’t on…

Joe Mantegna looks good! I recognized him immediately, even with the shock white hair and slimness. I hope we get to see that dinner party.

NoHo Hank: “Peep this.” *proceeds to give app every permission imaginable*

We’ll add “Tony Dalton in a suit” to the list of things I didn’t know I needed. I know she’s still doing the widow’s walk, but Mrs. Werner’s got better will power than me. I would’ve just called in sick.

I love how they made a subtle nod to Kim’s dilemma when she checked the time when she was restless early in the episode. It was 3:17 but there’s a small reflection that reads “LIE”. I swear, they never miss an opportunity to add in some nuance
