I think that’s really all there is to say. Feast for Crows/Dance with Dragons were just not nearly as good as the first 3. His trouble started there because instead of moving to “finish”, he got stuck and had his characters start to meander, pick lint out of their belly buttons, get stuck in locations and situations…

I liked the Watchmen...but yeah, you are right. It was Damon Lindelof after all lol, he can’t quit the mystery box!

Ok, yes, you are correct, but my point was, this isn’t trying to be in service of those other DC properties. Like Age of Ultron was famous for shoe horning in Thor having visions that would pay off in the second Thor movie, but had nothing to do with AoU itself. Everything has to tease out the next thing, in an…

One reason this show works so well is it isn’t in service of anything other than the story it is telling. it isn’t setting up a wider world. It doesn’t have to tie into any other shows. It has a story and purpose all it’s own. And Gunn actually understands TV, and story telling, and not stringing us along in a “it’s…

Yeah, i was thinking this would work if it riffed on the Mission: Impossible style of action movies.

Wait...he wants to attract younger families but thinks having homes that are affordable will stop that?

It is so bizarre how they messed the new trilogy up so much. I liked “The Last Jedi”, but even I can see how weird it was for Johnson to take all of what was setup and say “eh, that was dumb and didn’t matter”.

Lord and Miller can do fun without the fan service though. it would have been such a better movie had they gotten to do what they wanted.

Yes! I just watched Slither for the first time last week, and it makes this and The Suicide Squad seem like an obvious trend for Gunn.

I’m sure they’ll whine that without it, they have to slash their budget, but the town basially exploded their spending to play for more police and admin staff to process all of these fines. I wager that on the whole, this won’t actually hurt the town to cut the shit out.  Of course, it will hurt individuals who have…

And now she starts the season basically doing the “hey, black person, can I touch your hair?”

(also, can these writers write actual funny lines for the supposedly hilarious comedian?)

At least the first episode, that had me cringing most, was written by Darren Star (1961) and Michael Patrick King (1954). and I wonder if despite the diversity, they have a larger hand in what is on screen which leads to this clunky dialogue that is literally “I’m old and white, how do I navigate this world of black…

I was watching with my wife, the first few episodes, and had to tell her how awful i found it. And then she got a nostalgia bug and decided to start watching the original show, season 1, and immediately i picked out what you were saying about Miranda. Watching the old show vs the new, it’s just so jarring. She was…

Agreed. I love it, but it’s not quite up there with Eastbound or VP’s. Maybe it’s because those series had a definite plot and planned end (well, Eastbound kind of went past that...but for a bit it did have a plan. Season 4 was still awesome though). McBride has said that with Gemstones they don’t have that, they want…

To those who feel an “F” is too harsh, let me know where you can take a driving test and run 2 red lights, block the road crosswalk for long periods in multiple intersections while people honk at you and the tester has to grab the wheel twice to stop you from hitting things, and 3 times make random turns the tester…

That actually sounds better than I thought. My problem with Dexter started at the end of season 2, when Dexter stopped being the weirdo murderer and became the “hero” of the show. And more and more as the show went on he became framed as some sort of Batman figure.

“how come it doesn’t generate think pieces” says the person on the website that could choose to write said think pieces but chooses not to...

The creator of the show said that the Fox sale to Disney was on his mind when writing this. So I wonder if ATN will stay in the Roy family hands the way Fox News did in real life. 

“liberals having money are hypocrites, and obviously if you think otherwise, you are an advocate for the ultra rich, and not just pointing out that my argument is asinine”.
