I think it’s the eyes he gives them -- they have wide, wide-set fairly motionless eyes as opposed to the more active eyes of his other characters (some of which are more rudimentary dots and parentheses, right?). Uncanny and hiding something, but still good as a disguise.

GAAAAAAH. And it’s amazing how well Henson and co. ran with that! What a tribute to Blake’s work. Although my favorite is the cover, where all of this is still hidden but you KNOW it’s hiding something, gives me the creeps just thinking about it.

“Just as we all know there is no butter in peanut butter, consumers [buying veggie burgers] know exactly what they’re getting.

So, this is actually an area of active lobbying in the US, just with a different product.

Look, it’s a well-known fact that American kids don’t respond to stories about British kids. ESPECIALLY ones involving fantastic situations. Box office poison.

“That centerpiece sequence, pulled straight from Dahl’s illustrated pages”

Glad Steven Yeun has had a pretty successful career since leaving The Walking Dead. Dude was my favorite part of the show back when I used to watch.

This. Mr. Forties is his friend; he doesn’t even suggest he knows 20s that well. If he wants to say anything at all, it should be “as long as 20s knows what you’re up to. It’s not my business and I’m not going to say anything else about it, but I know what it’s like to be on the receiving end of something like this…

I generally subscribe to the not my circus, not my monkeys philosophy of I think I caught someone cheating. The whole situation is really a catch-22. If you tell a friend that their significant is cheating (or at least you really strongly suspect that they are), you’re forcing your friend to choose sides: you or their…

As a note for letter 1, that could also shared by the guy who wrote letter 3, the first threesomes are usually a mess. Between my gay friends I have heard, more than 10 times, “so I stayed at these guys house and we starting making out and we ended up in a threesome and it was not nice”. Sex is complicated, with that…

I suppose it depends on the situation. It seems FIFTIES is only really friends with Mr. Forties, and probably only knows Mr. Twenties as the guy that’s dating his friend. So in this case, I’d say mind your own business.

So you’re saying it’s humerus that Hulk has no backbone?

“Marinating meat in acid has always been a little bit of a mystery. Leave your meat in for too short an amount of time and you might not reap the full benefits. But leave your meat in for too long and you risk gray, mushy protein.”

Yes, it sure is a mystery. It’s up there with “how come when I put pasta in cold water,…

How is this different from any other night for me?

Not exactly the same, but

Imagine being such an awful person that the lead of your show pulled you aside privately to say “Hey...can you please not?” and even tried to help you understand what’s going on and you just double-down on being a godawful TERF in public.

When I think about this show, I think about the possibly apocryphal story of James Cameron pitching Aliens by just drawing an S next to ALIEN and then making it a dollar sign. Part of me imagines Favreau in the pitch to Disney, writing YODA on a chalkboard, pausing for effect, and then writing BABY in front of it.

Bellamy had to go to Broadway to get a chance to show he wasn’t just “The Ralph Bellamy Type” (he was so typecast by the early Forties that screenplays would list the loser in the Battle of the Sexes by invoking him).

Another fantastic romcom review, Caroline! I love this series.
