More than runners-up? They’ve never managed to be runners-up!

don’t worry! a few years ago they took outfielders with 3 consecutive 1st-round picks, including the #1 overall!

hey maybe if Davidson has to play LB at some point we’ll also see CB Allie Long

I think that’s way too kind. they seemed hell-bent on rejecting the leads’ dynamic and that wouldn’t have worked over 13 or 16 episodes either.

it’s always gonna need more Brandi Carlile, but her + Emmylou Harris’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” is the best.

somebody please remind Jill Ellis about defense before the World Cup starts

He’s like 45 and still doing this. I’ll be amazed if it isn’t fucked up already.

+1 unnecessary removal of Orlando Jones

I saw part of season 3, got behind, heard what they did in the finale, and I don’t think I ever caught up. those who got out during s2 were truly the brightest of all of us.

you spared yourself Ichabod’s boring-ass wife

I see Bale has yo-yo’d back down again after going up for Cheney.

to the to-read list!

Sleepy Hollow seasons 2+. it’s hard to be that silly without being fun.

Baby Cobra x Louis Huang from the creator of Don’t Trust the B- and Fresh Off the Boat? Right into my veins, Netflix.

is it weird that I now want to read the book just because Lenny Abrahamson is directing? Room and The Little Stranger are both great books from two of my favorite authors, so I’m inclined to trust his tastes.

especially from the creator of Parks and Rec. I don’t think it quite managed to be good, but it wasn’t as bad as the pilot’s exposition dump again and the cast was mostly charming.

please god no. is there anything they could possibly do that would be more crowd-infuriating than Petra/Michael???

the only bad thing I can say about Good Trouble is that it ruined me for The Bold Type by doing a lot of things TBT tries to do way, way better.

Alba isn’t in this week’s episode because she’s on her honeymoon, but she does get a hilarious moment in a fantasy sequence where River Fields pops her spacesuit and sends her careening to her death.

Assuming pre-air review is in lieu of episodics, so I’ll comment on the first night here.
