We can have TWO things!

Massive props to the writers for Aida/Ophelia's heel/face/heel turns - all in one episode. Not only did they (and Jansen) make it entirely believable given the arc of the character and the plot developments, she is WAY scarier now that she's a scorned human than she was as a desperate robot.

I like that in the photo Dinklage appears to be saying, "I know, I know. Look, just… give it a chance, OK?"

Agreed. I've thought basically since the first season of GoT that a prestige series would do wonders for Arthur and Co., because there's so much that lends itself to smaller episodic story arcs, and the dull parts are easily excised or refocused to find the interesting character bits.

And it almost never lands! I don't know if it's bad camerawork or the fact that the stupid little hop-leap makes it difficult to convey impact, but I swear every time he does it it comes off as a glancing blow at best, and a complete miss at worst.

Consumption of pop culture has almost never been a hard and fast requirement for snark about pop culture, so I think it's bidness as usual round these parts.

At first I was going to respond in disbelief, "SIX?!?" and then I realized that they would probably Marvel-ize the Knights of the Round Table in their own films before Avengering up to have them all defeat Morgan Le Fay or something.

"cephalodian witch-sirens"

Hey, that reminds me, aren't we due in the cycle for another Hollywood submarine movie or three? Seems like it's been awhile.

ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER would look upon AV Club 2017's definition of "ownage" and burn the place down.

"Hello, Mr. Incognito II. Mind if I sit down? What's in the bag there, looks like some wine coolers? What, ah, what are those for?"

"What's the movie called?"
"The Irishman."
"Who did you cast?"
"Italians, primarily. Why?"

I'm a converted Alexa fan after the last two weeks. She works really well as a heel, and the Nia angle has the potential to be delicious. (Also, my wife adores her, especially as a counterpoint to Bayley, whom she refers to as Lisa Frank). I've noticed I find myself caring more about the women's storylines which I…

I still think the End Titles are a cyberpunk kick in the pants. Love it for driving late on the freeways at night.

Can I just say that I'm delighted to share O'Neal's passion for this movie. It's one of the few that I can vividly recall the first viewing of, as a ten-year-old who stumbled across it one night on HBO, when my parents had gone to sleep and I was staying up past my bedtime. Pulled in by the cool-ass title "Blade…

Exactly. Literally the entire point of the movie is the nature of what makes a human a human, and I think the beautiful conclusion is that it just doesn't matter - what matters is that we recognize that life is precious no matter what form it takes.

I once saw a cocktail book from I think either the late 1910's or early 1920's and it was amazing how many of them were literally just combining different types of brown alcohols together with a splash of liqueur.

I am totally classing up the breakfast booze by calling it a Golden Spike from now on.

Ah. Well, then, I think "scandalous" is an appropriate word here. Also, "ew".

Seems like making a screwdriver the old-fashioned way would be a helluva lot easier, but I'm not in show business.
