Forgot to mention, thank you for the reviews Allison! Looking forward to your thoughts as well on season 7, whether here or on Twitter.
I’m grateful that they spoiled Gideon’s appearance next season in Comic-Con because that cliffhanger would’ve left me worried for the next, uh, five weeks.
Nailed It! for me. I gave up on reality TV years ago and thought less of this series’ premise about bad bakers competing to be the least awful. It took a year after the first season’s premiere to watch it but better late than never. It’s hilarious but thankfully never at the poorly skilled contestants’ expense. And…
Star Wars: Visions - I’m getting tired of the franchise but my interest is piqued again by two words: anime and anthology.
Cool story. Sounds like it would make a great song.
I re-checked that scene again: inside the globe appeared to be a green glass figurine - a woman I believe - on a clam shell. Obviously you can interpret the figurine as Astra, but perhaps you can better decipher how it symbolizes her.
Damn, this episode was a heavy-hitter. It is unfortunate that most of the cast gets sidelined to a decently funny and dramatic B-plot and John goes out in an inadequate, though shocking demise. If he were to be resurrected, he might become a fungal host.
She looked like a fork to me. Glad to know what household item Astra would have turned into with Crowleytine’s spell, a snow globe apparently.
I adore Gen 5 for bucking the third game trend and going with direct sequels instead. It was fun revisiting a familiar region that underwent many changes as a few years passed by, which includes significant trainers, cities, locations, and returning Pokemon.
“Well nobody’s perfect.” - Some Like It Hot. This screwball comedy ends on an unpredictable high note.
Yeah my teenage self would agree with you since I’ve tried and dropped anime shows. Except they were all sci-fi fantastical action series so they just aren’t the genres that interested me.
I’m pretty burned out on Star Wars but I’m happily surprised that there are a lot of Asian voice actors in the series, from well-known film and television stars to professional VAs like Stephanie Sheh, Andrew Kishino, and Greg Chun.
Agreed, his wrangling on the floor with Lefty was both horrifying and hysterical.
Both are also traumatized from losing their mothers in different ways (to Hell and to aliens) as well as these otherworldly mechanisms affecting them personally, though much more intensely for Astra. So it makes total sense for her and Spooner to be best friends.
Right, it broke my heart when Steve “died” and then when Carter had to sacrifice herself.
Josh Keaton was pretty convincing as Steve so good job for him.
I hope it’s just a late review since folks were used to the Olympics preempting the show.
I first heard her on Bob’s Burgers and then saw her on The Good Place, and thought, hey she’s delightful. So I gave Nailed It a shot despite thinking how low-brow it is initially. And I came to love it too, for Nicole’s jokes, Jacques’ culinary knowledge, and their wacky chemistry.
