You can set up all the seeds you want, but if you don’t make the progression felt after planting them, you still failed.

The problem with Dany’s heel turn isn’t in the long term, its the short term. It’s not about what happens in season 1-7, it’s how they handle it in season 8, and especially in “The Bells”. And they…

I theoretically have a problem with when it ended. The only way they could have successfully told the story they were trying to tell would have been to spread it out over at least 10-15 more episodes. But that would have required a different creative team with different priorities. 

Exactly this. Even with the short seasons I think they could have pulled this off by not picking random baffling character moments to focus on instead (making Brienne look like a lovesick sad girl, for instance).

Too little setup, too little time spent on consequences, and character motivations which were muddled by the compressed timeline. Dany’s descent made sense conceptually, but not two episodes after her selflessness in the fight against the white walkers, which itself seemed to go from the biggest existential threat the…

While the heel turn made sense, the fact that it was entirely too rushed along with the White Walker plot meant that good ideas ended up being bad tv.

The heel turn felt rushed but it made sense, and didn’t really bother me but the way they ended the white walkers/winter is coming storyline was just pathetic and sad.

That’s dumb. You’d have to be the world’s biggest asshole to name a son “Baron.”

Maybe he was implying Einstein was only really funny for five years in the half century he was in show business...

What would be an even better thing they could do is, you know...

I’ll say this for Batman, though: with the lights out, he *is* dangerous.

I was so skeptical when I first saw the ads for Only Murders, but man did she have fantastic chemistry with those two.  As for SNL, I don’t think too many people are choosing cross-country travel for work at the moment.  Except Hanks, of course, because he’s too polite to say no.

Ironically, Paul F. Tompkins also appeared as a cop on the Sarah Silverman program without his now-signature mustache and thankfully seems like a genuine, considerate person.

I wish more Phil Hartman period. 

Severally disappointed they had Steve Martin and Martin Short together but not Selena Gomez. I want to believe they all hang out witch each other now, singing King Tut together while wearing fake arrows on their heads. Then, when they’re done, they’ll look through Instagram and watch moviesTik Tok together.

My favorite part of this episode was the goodnights, not just for the oddity of only five people on the stage, unwinding as best they could, but for the incredibly poignant sight of Lenny Pickett and Tuffus Zimbabwe playing viewers out of an uncertain 2021 and into an uncertain 2022. The band has not been showcased…

They need to keep Jack around. He needs to meet Mantis so we can have the MCU version of the Celestial Madonna arc…which will be hilarious. Especially if Gunn directs it.

Yes! After Charlie Cox, Jessica Henwick is my second most wanted Marvel Netflix transplant.

I think you forgot to mention a certain lady Iron Fist

Early 20-something women enjoying Mac & Cheese = truth.
