Eh, they could easily have had 13 episodes per season if they had just leaned into the format that was right there in front of them: a procedural! Jessica Jones played by Ritter doing a film-noir case of the week with superpowers would have been fantastic, and the series’ recurring refusal to do so (lampshaded early…

“(It’s not as if he can’t come up with good material on his own.)“

another beautifully filmed, well-acted episode of The Handmaid’s Tale that falls apart like tissue paper in the rain the second you attempt to look beyond those things

I mean, worst-case scenario and this show becomes terrible next season, Adam Reed is still probably going to go off and make something new. It’s been long enough since the end of Frisky Dingo (and the brief semi-coda of The Xtacles) and the start of Archer!

So why is there that weird frosted glass kindof effect in *front* of the location/time cards?

Am I wrong in remembering the showrunners as having a 5-year plan? Maybe I'm mixing it up with Supernatural, which had a 5-year arc planned, executed, and then after the creator left went on to do approximately 32 more seasons.

Wait, Cary Joji Fukunaga is directing? I had not heard that, now I'm actually eagerly anticipating this!

It’s been aaaages since I saw this now, but I swear I remember the movie showing them getting infected by spores or such in the air?

Sigh. Alas, I suspect you’re right.

Hah, not listening when a lawyer is present? Hell, local law enforcement and the D.A.’s office in my county listened in on inmates’ calls with defense lawyers, and the current presidential candidate who declined to do anything in response to this is, well, somehow considered a legitimate presidential candidate.

The most Star Trek it gets is, IMHO, in the first episode; you can tell Bryan Fuller worked on that script. While perhaps arguably in plot it gets more Trek-like at points later on, it never captures the spirit and feeling as well as it teases at first.

That’d be a really good reason, although considering Tarantino’s general insensitivity and the detail of him originally intending on the film premiering on the anniversary of Tate’s death, that . . . seems unlikely. Although not impossible!

I mean, I literally linked to an O’Neal newswire post from 2010!

Everyone talking about Evangelion, new episodes of Star Trek, and a new Star Wars movie pending? The fuck year is this, 1998?

Hopefully though that means that they’re not trying to set anything else up or tell some story to be built on later, and we finally actually get the case-of-the-week superpowered P.I. show starring Ritter that the show kept teasing it could be and then each time swerved away from.

They couldn’t have Arya kill both the Night King AND Cersei

Damn; funny ‘cause it’s true.

I mean imagine it, a media review site started as the ‘serious’ subsection of a publication whose name is basically synonymous with biting satire, having the temerity to be abrasively snarky!

You do realize he pumps hundreds of millions into the economy of Gotham, right? Most of the regular folk in Gotham work for Bruce in some way, just like most people in Metropolis work for Lex Luthor.
