I’m glad the black kid wasn’t forced into the role of Winston.

This episode started the same way as one of the lesser X-Men films: An exciting battle sequence, followed by a computer voice informing them that the holographic, simulated, fake training exercise has ended. Apparently there’s a chance the people who took part in the exercise might think it was real if the computer…

Are we sure Lorca maneuvered Cornwell into the trap? Obviously she needs to be sidelined for the show to continue, and Lorca certainly has the motive for doing so, but I couldn’t tell if he knew what the result would be. If that’s what he was up to he must have had some inside information or was able to read the…

The dancing silhouettes are the most memorable part of the opening for me too, though I don’t often pay attention to cinematography so I never made the connection to the various other silhouettes.

I just watched the episodes of Deadwood that had Kristen Bell. It’s so odd to see her in her current role on The Good Place with the shrimp machine and all, then to see her being all young (she was 24 at the time but I think her character was supposed to be a teenager) and, well, a Deadwood character.

Good thing they weren’t in Malawi. https://apnews.com/26777a3704eb448ea9573d77fa519654/140-arrested-in-Malawi-after-mob-attacks-on-’vampires’

“By choosing to interfere, you’re complicit in recognizing the moral authority of the game to be played in the first place.” Wow, this perfectly describes my attitude toward voting.

Vicki asking for her reports to be condensed into one page seemed like a direct reference to Trump.

I don’t trust apologies. They seem like an easy way to manipulate someone. Perhaps I’m just cynical.

I did not hire someone to hit her! It’s not true! It’s bullshit! Oh, hi, Mark.

Cool, another band I saw at Riot Fest is on The AV Club in a video from Riot Fest. That’s only interesting to me but I’m writing about it anyway! Screw you!

This headline makes me try to imagine David Letterman saying, “I may have fucked up my life flatter’n hammered shit, but I stand here before you today beholden to no human cocksucker, and holdin’ a workin’ fuckin’ gold claim, and not the U.S. government tellin’ me I’m trespassin’, or the savage fuckin’ red man or any…

You can tell it’s a common name because Wikipedia has entries for both “Javaid Iqbal (cable television installer)“ and “Javed Iqbal (satellite television installer)“.

He should sing solo...

They really only named him Half Thor though.

Wow, Gingrich is dril!

He looked better in the wedding dress.

I don’t remember, something like “Griffin Booman”.

I take him more seriously now that he’s changed his display name back from the jokey Halloween one.

Oh boy, they said “shit” and “fuck”! How exciting! I was a bit surprised because I assumed this had the same standards as a typical CBS show, though I have no idea what kind of violence is allowed on network TV now. I was also surprised when Rainnn Wilson said “goddamn” because I remembered reading this, which seems…
