Very pleased with tonight. I thought for sure Angle was gonna pull an eyeroll and tell Wyatt to cut the supernatural horseshit, I thought this was a great opportunity to de-mystify the hokum a bit and bring him back down to Earth. (Him just staring at Wyatt like he was a crazy person was still pretty great though.)

At a time when overwhelming popular support for a free press is at its highest in decades, it must really suck to be the biggest news division in the country and STILL have everyone reveling in your downfall.

Classy.

But enough about Breitbart commenters!

I remember when the title "president" kind of carried a de facto job description of "taking responsibility for what happens under your watch", but I guess we live in strange times.

From the director's quote, it sounds like this movie might be trying to be three things too many.

Laughed a ton during this film back in the day, all the way up to that incredibly dark ending. Good score by Knopfler, too.

Aw man, i crushed hard on her in Space Camp. She was totally my secret girlfriend.

It'll have gotten more time on Netflix than I would have guessed when the move was announced. And the seasons generally speaking have been better, for the reasons Evil Lincoln states above.

Lovejoy, Columbo, and Banacek in a 3-hour block pretty much rocked my world and ruined my freshman year of college. Who needs to go to class? George Peppard is wearing a hideous houndstooth jacket and turtleneck!

Almost guaranteed next season, I think. I just hope it's not a last minute phone call to his father or something - I wanna see the dude get his spy on!

I think it’s a holdover from before the Golden Age of Television, when Starz was otherwise known as That Channel With The Movies That Were On HBO Three Months Ago.

Thanks for the responses, everybody. I think I'm gonna take in the first season and then (presuming it's good and catches my interest) dive into the book.

Not that anything is for certain in the film industry, but is there really a question as to whether a studio would pony up to let Miller make another one? I thought Fury Road was a huge hit?

Serious question for those who have read the novel: as someone who has not, based on what we know might be different between the show and the book, would you recommend reading the book first? I know it might not matter in the end, but I'm curious what the general opinion is.

Yeah, I'm really gonna have a tough time even tolerating Elizabeth if Pasha dies as a result and she's just all, "WELP, THEMS THE BREAKS!"

I'm definitely Photoshopping McShane's face from the opening image at the top as a go-to reply for just about every bullshit thing I hear ever from now on.

United: Now We Are Literally Killing Cute Fluffy Bunnies, But You Gotta Get To That Meeting, So We Know You're Gonna Stop Caring Once You Need A Ticket, Ha Ha

Exactly. The market's already saturated (clearly) with these folks, and social media and the internet means we just don't need as many of them as we used to for coverage. The fact that 2/3 of them just parrot "hot takes" or bland establishment opinions makes many of them even more redundant.

“Hooray” for Killjoys! And, uh, “Yeah, I guess I can watch it since it’s on, I mean it’s not like it’s ALWAYS the worst thing” for Dark Matter!
