I agree! For some reason this show has chosen to have a lot of the important plot or character moments just happen off-screen this season. (As I was joking with someone else yesterday, "Prestige TV is like jazz: The plot points are in the scenes you *don’t* see.")

*Beard voice* Offscreen, bay-BEH!

I don’t think that’s a fair way of looking at it. That season 1 was incredibly tightly plotted; everything flowed steadily and logically and made sense. Like Ted himself, its winning nature was in its steadiness and consistency.

This isn’t a “The Beach Boys featuring Mike Love” situation 

Fluid? He wishes! If he were fluid, there’d be no problem. No, what he has is a romantic abnormality, one so unbelievable that it must be hidden from the public at all costs...

I’d propose America gets rid of 99% of the guns and 99% of the prank YouTubers.

Eh, after The Gray Man I’m not feeling super psyched about this. Think the Russo’s approach to the genre was perfect for Captain America 2, but taking the same approach with real-people spy stuff isn’t as exciting.

I knew he died because I read the book first, but agree that Bateman’s last scene wasn’t that clear that he had died. His head slumps to the side but he’s bleeding from the neck - he could very easily have just lost consciousness. They really need someone to say at that point “he’s gone” or for the wife to start…

It totally was, without WandaVision, her last appearance was at the funeral scene in Endgame where she and Hawkeye mourn Black Widow and Vision by the lake at Stark’s funeral. And at that appearance, she seems pretty okay (look I know people can hold it together on the exterior while hurting inside, I’m just saying…

She worked for David Fincher.  Twice.  That’s like volunteering to go back to ‘Nam.

This is entirely perplexing to me. They own the shows, don’t they? They’re not paying anyone else for the streaming rights? How is this beneficial?

That part had me absolutely howling in laughter. This dying, scheming queen trying to pull himself up on to a couch and all of a sudden finds himself being interrogated by his near-victim and it’s about if Greg is.... having an affair.

In this post-Succession world, eat-the-rich satire is a dime a dozen - but where else can you find Jennifer Coolidge massacring a group of gay mobsters?

He didn’t “allow” Albie to be conned nor did he forget about that daliance. Dom knew it was a complete scam, but the 50k was worth it to him to rekindle his relationship with his wife and it worked. Beats having to go to therapy, marriage counseling one can suppose. Albie’s preaching was successful in making Dominic…

There’s just no defending that decision. Millions left on the table. Shareholders should be pissed.

I mean, it’s a pretty big deal when the missing Monica Vitti from L’avventura shows up at the end of Taxi Driver to team up with Joan of Arc and take down Michael Corleone. It just won’t make as much sense if you haven’t seen them all in order.

Wild that ‘casual consensual sexual relationship’ is now ‘emotional abuse’

“Power dynamic”? He’s a fucking singer in a rock band, not a prison guard or Harvard Law’s Dean of Admissions.

Despite her alarm at the first kiss, Sabina was attracted to Butler, and felt that they were forming an emotional bond. In the fall of 2015, at Butler’s Montreal studio and jam space, Sabina and Butler had sex for the first of several times, she claims. They continued texting afterward, exchanges that Butler would…
