I’m fine with the show turning on Midge.  She is after all based on Joan Rivers, and for all Joan Rivers talent and her importance to women in Comedy she was also a narcissistic asshole who’s entire late career was saying terribly awful things about people.  Of course they could have called Suzie to cancel her…

I also like that it doesn’t fall into the “they escaped to utopia” end that it seemed to be steering towards for the first 3/4 of the movie.  Utopia didn’t exist, there is no Sugar Candy Mountain.  They have to fight back to their own world, and work to make it better.  That’s a deep message for an action movie.

There was a time when that was enough.  Some charming male actor, like James Garner, Telly Savalas, or Tom Selleck would get a production deal with a network and they’d build a detective show around them.  It just depends on the writing, we could use a good, relatively light detective show (The new Hawaii five-O has…

I say this as a straight man, who was simply shocked that photo was David Tennant,  he certainly wasn’t trying to look bad in “Good Omens” He was supernatural Mick Jagger.

Based on the top picture, they managed to make David Tennant look terrible, so that’s an accomplishment of a kind.

The punchline to that story is Reynolds tells Clint, “Well I’m gonna get acting lessons, I don’t know what the fuck you’re gonna do?”

I know Leo’s character doesn’t parallel him, but its funny that he’s kind of a what if for Clint Eastwood.  Eastwood stars (although he’s not The Star) in a successful 1950's early 60's western TV show and appears in countless shows in guest spots.  He then decides to go do “Eye-Talian” westerns and becomes one of the…

She was a fraudster, yet she’s already convicted and in jail serving her sentence.  Elizabeth Holmes, who defrauded people of more than $275,000 every two days her company was operating is still walking free.

I saw them more as the blue meanies from Yellow Submarine, I guess it depends on your age and viewing habits.

They were between a rock and a hard place with the racial element of the book.  If most people of color were shipped off to the colonies then the show would be basically all white people.  They would then get all kinds of crap for being a show with no people of color, so they decided to just scrap all that and I…

I realize if I point out the issues with this episode I’m just repeating the problems with the whole season and a big part of last season so I’ll avoid the specifics. Here’s what I think the problem is; I think they have an ending for this show sketched out, I think they know what the last season will be and I think…

Pretty sure it’s physically impossible to add those crosses to the Washington Monument, but there’s enough other suspension of disbelief stuff in this show that I’ll let that go for the coolness of the shot.

Who is using an over air antennae?  It looks like Gilead doesn’t have television anymore (there have been no TV’s anywhere, only iPads on occasion) so even if you were one of the small percentage that use an over air antennae - why would it be tuned to an American channel that hasn’t operated in five years?

What has kept this from being a real “A-list” show is the inability to figure out or care to tell us how Gilead operates and came to be. Just because there was a secret group conspiring against the government we saw in some flashbacks doesn’t mean we need to just accept the world they are throwing at us. No thought…

In defense of Atwood, and we’ll see if this sequel doesn’t destroy my point, in the book we don’t really have to know how all this happened.  It was the story of this one woman living with the aftermath who didn’t really know all the details and was an unreliable narrator to boot.  The show needed to flesh out how…

Well Luke was buying formula or diapers or something in that store when June called and when he said “how does anybody afford this stuff” the guy said, “most people don’t need it” so they’re at least throwing a bone to the birth crisis.

There’s no way Perry didn’t kill his brother BTW and then Mary Louise covered it all up.

The biggest problem with that is Lisa Bonet doesn’t look old enough to have her actual daughter.  She still looks like she’s in her late 30's early 40's.

This is the fundamental problem with the whole show. Gilead can’t be a functional entity. There simply aren’t enough young men as a percentage of the population to have them acting as guards all over the place and then still have an offensive military (taking Chicago) operating. Even if we assume they just killed all…

Hader pitched this show as if Bill Munny from Unforgiven met up with the cast of Waiting for Guffman.  He went full Bill Munny here, “I was always lucky when it came to killing folks.”
