Imaginary conversation:

I saw this through Kim’s perspective, or at least what I thought her perspective was: Jimmy has been acting strangely aloof regarding his brother’s death, so eventually he’s got to come to terms with it and now that’s what’s happening... except... oops.

I just learned this from an “addendum” episode of Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History podcast: Our fear of sharks has a lot to do with an incident in World War II. The USS Indianapolis was returning from a secret mission to deliver the uranium used to nuke Japan when it was sunk by a Japanese submarine. The survivors were…

Maybe it would be fine if you have a better memory than me (which is likely). I’d recommend 2 a day, especially since many of them are relatively short.

I thought Travis Scott’s second performance, with all the light-on-smoke effects and disorienting camera angles, was cool. Also, his appearance in the dance skit was a little jarring, but in a good way. Everyone else was acting and he came to do it for real.

I finished Maniac and I think I watched it wrong. First of all, I didn’t binge it. I watched the first episode, then I waited a few days, then I watched the rest one day at a time. It was obviously not meant to be consumed in such a fashion, considering how much later episodes alluded to earlier ones; those were…

Michael Sheen is certainly acute.

People on other reviews were chewing the reviewer out for not picking up on supposedly obvious things... which I didn’t pick up on either... but I’m surprised he didn’t get the popcorn thing. It’s a callback to the first episode when Owen has a hallucination. The thing that came out of his knee wasn’t literally a…

That Mouse Rat shirt would be better if it didn’t say “Parks & Recreation” so prominently.

I disagree. I thought the first season was kind of weak but it keeps getting better, especially now that Chuck has fully embraced the dark side.

That sketch would’ve been pretty tedious if they didn’t have such a good, dramatic actor in the role.

I read the first book when I was 12 and I loved it. There’s some pretty intense violence in later books that disturbed me as a teenager, like people being torn apart by magic, or skinned alive... actually, I don’t remember if he was alive at the time.

My theory: The goal of Russian intelligence is not to affect American society, but to convince us it has. We don’t need an outside influence for us to tear ourselves apart; we’ll gladly do that ourselves. It’s like North Korea’s nuclear weapons: they’re bluffing that they have a trump card (no pun intended) to keep…

I just want to know how Ser Pounce is doing.

Interesting how the “simulation” isn’t much different from our world, but the “real world” is very different from ours.

They were also both in the first season of True Detective.

I don’t listen to him but I thought that bottled water performance was amusingly stupid. Not sure if that was what they were going for. Also I want to know who the woman behind them is and if her audio was intentionally out of sync or if that was just a sign they didn’t care enough to get it right.

I didn’t like this and I knew I wouldn’t like it. Why do I watch this show? It must be society’s fault. Certainly not my own.
