And on the other hand it feels like Susie’s too afraid to speak for herself to force Midge to realize the truth. 

I wonder how many seasons of this show we’d have to watch before they get to the Stonewall Riots. I guess since they mentioned JFK running for president that means we’re in the sixties now, while the past two seasons were the late fifties?

Season 6+ Rory started facing some consequences for being an entitled jerk, even if the final ending on the Netflix season somehow tried to fold it all back into being a touching mother-daughter saga. But yeah Amy Sherman Palladino seems to have a weird relationship with money where on the one hand she’ll premise each…

It feels a lot like Comedy Central era Futurama to me, especially with the generic fantasy setting. Okay technically the generic fantasy setting was direct to video Futurama but the general point is the same. This season’s been pretty decent on average, but every episode has had some rough spots and plot points that…

I’m hoping that becomes a big theme next season, especially since outing Shy Baldwin likely will lead to some tough conversations. But then again, I’ve been hoping they’d give Susie more interiority since Season 1. I feel like Amy Sherman Palladino is just too addicted to writing witty banter to really go there. 

I like to imagine he’s switched out all the lighting in order to test out heat lamps for his hypothetical triumphant return to pizza.

To me, there’s nothing more in character for Rick than “I’m afraid of losing Morty but can only show it by engaging in complicated schemes that prevent him from even thinking about leaving me”. That’s pretty much his core character trait that traps them in their toxic dynamic. 

Well to be fair, Rick and Morty fans have a similar reputation at this point ;)

On the one hand, this also gave me heavy vibes of the conspiracy theories Community episode, AKA the episode I’ve rewatched so many times the hypothetical VHS that Hulu stores it on has worn out. They kept on finding new gags to put into each montage that kept it pretty fresh for me throughout the whole running time…

Big Mo felt a lot like the Noir episode for me - I was more entertained by the fact that they were doing something so high concept and weird than the actual execution of it. That said, if It’s Always Sunny is going to ride out their old age doing gonzo concept episodes as they’ve been doing for the past few seasons,…

I’ve been loving this show for the it’s-depressing-for-me-to-try-to-remember-the-number many years since it first started airing, so I’m mostly in the same boat as you. It’s just those particular versions in this particular episode didn’t really do it for me, so I’m just kind of writing my feelings out into the void…

I liked this episode a lot, if only because it felt like it showed a fresh angle on Rick’s loneliness by focusing on something trivial and silly and showing how even that makes it impossible for Rick to connect for someone else. But the threadbare worldbuilding is starting to show pretty hard for me. Like when they…

Even worse, it did both at the same time, making Ron Howard an actual character spewing Ron Howard in jokes. There’s definitely a lot that's straight up bad about season 4 but its got its moments.

Now that you mention it, it would be hilarious and appropriate if the Party Down revival were even more depressing than the Veronica Mars revival was.

My one question for this season - can Rick and Morty ever make me cry again? For me Classic Rick and Morty really captured that madcap melancholy tone that Dan Harmon captured for a while on Community. Episodes like Rixty Minutes and Total Rickall took ridiculous gags like interdimensional cable TV and the sudden…

Gamergate fans ARE exactly those kinds of fans. There’s a huge amount of continuity between the rhetoric, social media strategies and personalities that participated in Gamergate and right wing cultural politics in general. It’s all tied together by a common sentiment that media used to be apolitical at some more…

It’s like an archetypal whole that’s less than the sum of its parts for me. I actually really loved the first time they awkwardly dragged Michael through the mud in a bizarre voting himself out of George Michael’s room scenario. But it definitely got old really quick when it turned into a father-son love triangle on…

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia changed into Community so gradually we hardly even noticed it. 

I enjoy that kind of stuff in general, I just feel like Adventure Time’s loosey-goosey formula couldn’t really bare the weight of the more hardcore worldbuilding long term. In the early going it worked really well, and I think anybody that’s watched Adventure Time is going to count stuff like Ice King/Marceline…
