Yes, but the punishment is that the Canadian government says sorry to her, even though it’s her fault.

Glad we still have a gimmick account around these parts, I have to say.

“On a scale of 1 to Literally A Pedophile . . .”

Oh sure, and that seems to be precisely the plan those raiders have.

I had the same problem, I was sure I recognized him from The Good Place but then thought I must be crazy when I looked up Donkey Doug on IMDB and didn't see The Mandalorian listed in the actor's credits. D'oh!

Super common samurai or western motif.

Felt to me more like an underwritten but overly financed Samurai Jack episode. Which . . . I'm fine with! I'm not expecting high art from Disney. And as cheesy as some of this episode was, nothing in it felt as cheesy as the flying Mandalorians last episode.

In general, the new movies are really bad about presuming the viewers will really care about and buy into things based on backstories barely even mentioned, much less actually shown. Not that The Mandalorian is some sort of pinnacle of storytelling, but telling a less huge-scale story seems to be letting it paint more…

The wars have left a lot of shit lying around, I guess. And military hardware won't feed ya.

Written by a right-wing weirdo who’s bizarrely worshipped by some people?

Damn, if movie theatres weren’t uniformly terrible I’d go out and see it ASAP.

I’ll certainly take a deliberately cartoonish accent over one that is played straight but fails at it. See: nearly every British actor ever’s serious American accent (particularly in British productions).

But Benedict and Francis are philosophical and temperamental opposites in virtually every respect—it’s a truly dramatic shift.

I wonder if Another Life just cost way less money? Other than Katee Sackoff there isn’t really any big names in it, so actor-pay wise I can imagine it might be fairly cheap. And the sets they used sure didn’t seem too varied or expensive.

To be fair there’s a whole “Kids” profile baked into Netflix, and it presumably filters out the non-kid-friendly stuff soas to allow kids to roam around in it. Of course that’s another thing I don’t have any personal experience with so maybe there’s some caveats to that which result in parents not really using that,…

Yup, exactly. The Good Place is a very kindhearted and soft-edged show, and Rick and Morty is often deliberately ugly and uncomfortable and furthermore seems to pride itself on not holding its punches. And yet in this case the contrast goes very much the other way.

I’d heard more like 2-3, although that could also be skewing for the kinds of shows I’m more interested in (ex. The OA got 2 seasons, Travelers got 3 and Netflix was only the sole producer on the last one).

As a Canadian I felt like we already had too many period dramas of that ilk literally decades ago, I have to say.

Firefly is a great example; as a point of fact FOX wasn’t actually any worse than its competitors for cancelling shows too soon (competitors like ABC or CBS actually easily had it beat), but you cancel the wrong show with too vocal of a fan base and suddenly it becomes the brush everyone in the comments will be…

I mean, you did read an entire article about it...
