David Simon generally doesn’t go for whitewashing, which is part of why his shows don’t get many Emmy nominations.

It’s gonna be difficult reading comments on here... unless there are two reviews, one for people who have seen the video and one for people who haven’t, but that would be silly.

Dolores wasn’t really running from old William to young William, it was just edited to look that way. The photo lasting so long doesn’t make sense though, but maybe in the future we have photographs that last forever.

It seems Yevgeny’s father is named Oleg. Are we to intuit that Costa Ronin is playing his own son? Oleg’s son on The Americans would be about 32 now, which is just a little too young. Then again, the timeline on Homeland is kind of vague; maybe this is all taking place in 2022 or something. (When was Frannie born?)

I bet these characters don’t actually watch movies, they just read plot summaries on Wikipedia during their 5 minutes of free time.

I’ve been looking forward to The Death Of Stalin for like a year and I finally got a chance to see it. It was pretty good. I was expecting it to be funny, and it was frequently funny, but it was also a lot darker and closer to real life than I’d anticipated. There were moments that made me laugh a lot and there were…

I’d be with you on The White Stripes if not for “When problems overwhelm us and sadness smothers us...” I wonder how Janet is doing these days.

I want to say the last three songs on Frances The Mute by The Mars Volta, but that’s almost an hour of music so it feels like cheating. Instead I’ll go with the last three songs on their previous album, De-Loused In The Comatorium: This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed, Televators, Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt. (At first I…

I feel like Doolittle has a great-good-great pattern going on, at least for the first half. For me the best three are Here comes Your Man, Dead, Monkey Gone To Heaven. Dead is merely good but it bridges the other two really well.

He couldn’t quite explain it, it’d always just been there. ♫

For some reason I always go right to the comics when reading The New Yorker (after skipping past the 20 pages of reviews for things you can only see if you’re actually in New York) but they almost never make me laugh. These ones are making me laugh plenty!

Taking French in high school has finally paid off.

A much less exciting episode than the previous one. With only 10 episodes in this final season I expected them all to be roaring away with amazing stuff, but this was sort of a return to the ponderousness of season 5, at least until Victor Slezak’s head exploded. (I still remember him as the ridiculously intense chef…

That’s kind of too bad; I think it could have changed the public’s perception of her like it did with Marcia Clark.

I could have watched this without having seen the pilot episode and nothing would have been lost. Everything I needed to know was explained in the “previously on”.

Maybe Legend and Dixon should have switched roles. Judas is almost the main character anyway.

The lyrics are so specifically hippie though. No one says stuff like “what’s the buzz?” or “try not to turn on to problems that upset you” anymore.

I want to see them take on Werner Herzog, except Herzog has been parodied even more than Ken Burns so maybe there’s not much left to say.

“Here we are, kind that will never know death”... well, as long as there are humans around to patch you up when you get hurt. I guess the robots could figure out how to do that though.

I put the sequence up on YouTube so we can enjoy it again!
