The first time I watched Angel s4, I felt something was off. Whedon’s rage is palpable in the writing. You’ll see what I mean when you get there. And then I saw Charisma Carpenter at a convention and she basically confirmed what I had suspected from watching the show. Whedon was mad at her for getting pregnant and…

Cordelia was a great character because we slowly saw her go from being a foil to a heroine, but without losing all the qualities that made her who she was. I give Charisma a lot of the credit, especially on Angel. She and Wesley were the main reasons I stuck with the show as long as I managed.

Alejandro Innaritu made Birdman as a comedy because he was well aware that as a drama, it would come off as the most insufferably pretentious and self-righteous movie ever made. It seems this is that movie.

For me, it was never so much his age as it was his demeanor, his cadence, just overall how he comes off on camera. Lin-Manuel is a talented dude, and I like him, but ‘gruff cowboy’ is NOT a role he can play convincingly. His scenes felt like cosplay. Like he’s the in-universe stan who wishes he was Lee Scorsby. In The…

This fucking sucks. I went to high school with Grant, and he was one of those people who literally never said or did a single thing that wasn’t kind or thoughtful. When he made it big, doing the weirdly brilliant stuff he loved, I was happy, because it meant the world was working the way it was supposed to: greatly…

I like that Carolyn took Mo’s omelette away from him, but not in order to eat it herself. As she has made clear in the past (in the greatest line of television dialogue ever), “I can’t stand breakfast. It’s just endless eggs. Why? Who decided?”

I got the impression she really wanted to watch the life leave Dasha.

It’s interesting that Villanelle started with none of the usual stabilising factors most people have: no family, no romantic interest, no social circle apart from Konstantin, her handler. And no problems killing people. Now she’s at least had experiences with those things, even if they haven’t exactly been satisfying:…

I laughed so fucking hard when Konstantin collapsed and Villaneve screamed “get up”.

I’m almost mad at myself for giving this repeated chances and seeing it through to the end. But at least I’ll never wonder if it got better.

I’m coming in very late to the party with this show. I’ve spent the last week binging episodes since Season 1 and am now caught up, my only regret being there aren’t more episodes to watch.

Konstantin’s heart attack was an assassination attempt, right? Remember as he walked onto the train platform some guy brushed/bumped him? I think they’ll find a small pin prick on his person somewhere next episode. Maybe it wasn’t enough poison to kill him and his strong heart; maybe the pin didn’t go deep enough? He’s…

That’s actually a different one, but almost as good

That fluffy green golfing outfit is right up there for top Villanelle costume! Stunningly weird and wacky!

i still can’t understand how this fifty-cent used paperback premise was given an hbo budget

Sure, but up until now there really much growth or depth to Villanelle. Just lots of her killing people in the most exotic and eccentric ways with some snark, but now we’re starting to see why. V wants to be more and better than just an assassin 

Villanelle's golf outfit is worth at least a half letter grade. That's not even counting Konstantin's laughing and screaming.

I like Eve showing as much regard for Nico’s heartfelt “piss over forever” as she has for every other sentiment he has shared with her over the course of the series

After watching this episode, it’s obvious that a show with Laurel and Babe hanging out in the bar would be 110% more interesting than all the exhausting crap with Billy and Ruby.

This whole season has been telling us why between her getting married, her liking and wanting to keep the baby, that nice villa she had in Spain, and her going home to see her family. Like Barry, she’s starting to miss and want normal life and normal people, and is tired of having to answer and listen to people like…
