B-But…Space Vespas…!

RR’s work on the Star Wars shows was so half-assed, so clunky and amateurish, that I thought I was watching a student film. 

Agreed. And it begins with a very simple first step: the control booth cuts his mic when others are speaking. Period. His chief tactic is to simply prattle on like a toddler, drowning out reason. The added visuals this would create, of an old asshole railing silently in the background, would just be the icing. 

considering Gen Z is currently in the phase of their lives where they don’t command a high salary, are saddled with student loan debt, and can’t say no to a $1 margarita.

While I have faith in the eventual destination, taking the journey of this episode lost me a bit. I can live with the time jump, and the starkness of focusing on Barry and Sally pretending to be other people in the middle of nowhere, but I’m having a hard time witnessing how bad both of them are as parents.

But what of Amala? Does she not count that as an album or is it not a cash grab? Or am I thinking too hard about the tweets of someone whose persona is basically chaotic id?

He’s definitely being home schooled, when Sally as calling Barry he talked about his plans for teaching him (if I recall, he wanted to get into long division). The problem is he definitely isn’t being home schooled well. Ever since hearing Bill Hader say on one of the Ringer podcasts that Barry is just a really dumb…

Like, regardless of my politics, Succession in an aggressively leftist show that is in part about politics. Most of the Roys actively mock their own anchors, viewers, and specifically Mencken as Nazis. I'm just reporting on the text of the show.

Barry/Clark doesn't have enough money for his son's blanket, but had boxes of purchases all over the living room. The kid couldn't get through his frozen dinner.   They are torturing  that little boy.  

“People in satire don’t talk like people in life.”

Err, yeah.

He isn’t motivated by money itself - none of them are or they could all retire and go lay on a beach somewhere. Winning, status, power is where their hearts are.

I was totally getting a Kim Wexler vibe too!  

There was a moment, when Barry was standing in the light in front of his house, listening to footsteps and giggling from the darkness around him, where I legitimately thought Barry was going to shoot a prank-playing kid.

There is, however, plenty of evidence of her following, interacting with, and liking the content of explicitly nazi-sympathizing twitter accounts. So, you know, very big grain of salt.

Don’t worry, he’ll just watch Kevin Costner’s Fox Nation documentaries and might not even realize he’s not watching Yellowstone.

I honestly wish these flashforwards weren’t just new nonsense for the last season.

Not that it will matter, but I will never give a single dollar to anything Johnny Depp is in or part of or can benefit from in any way. He and his rabid online fanbase are worthless trash.

Of course it does. But that’s no reason to insult the writers publicly like that. 

“But if you notice a decline in quality in House Of The Dragon when the second season eventually airs...”

then I know it’s a Game of Thrones property. Hey-o!
