I was mildly interested in the first paragraph. I am 100% SOLD after the last sentence.

Personally, I think they should have just rebooted HIMYM as a gritty drama, like with ‘Bel-Air’. The twist is that the main character is not the kids’ father; it’s the story of how he met, and subsequently started stalking, their mother. He’s already killed their father, and is just waiting for the mother to come home…

And then wander the country as a homeless youth without money or family or a safety net? WHAT?

So, a fun possible historical inaccuracy I can point out here.

I think for me, if Adam is Javi, it would be a tad bit too soap opera-ish. Plus begging the question of how Shauna failed to recognize Javi after all this time.

If they can keep the quality up, unlike that plane.

Yes, and as the review said, the other weird thing was Arthur (in this show) was not presented as some a**hole and actually seemed at all times kind of an okay guy (unless you count cheating as a stand in for all bad behavior), so him ignoring his son and being a jerk to his second wife really does not jibe either…

Random Thoughts:

Notice she lists Titanic, American Beauty, Bring it On and (partly visible) Ten Things I hate About You, all of which came out after the crash.  Bring it on dates to 2000.  This indicates that Jackie made it out of the woods, but died later.  Contextual clues indicates Shauna married Jeff around 2001-2002.  the timing…

Yes, I think they’re handling the “Miranda has an alcohol problem” story a lot better than the “Miranda is a Brooklyn-dwelling Ivy League-educated attorney who is completely clueless about race” story.

Exactly this -- if compliance with the law in the present is enough to thwart the extortion, then simply putting up a fence will do it.  He can tear down the fence once the series is in production if he wants to.

Michael C Hall deserves better than this weak ass writing. How they thought that podcast character was a good idea is anyone’s guess... As far as bad decisions go it’s almost up there with “let’s turn him into a lumberjack and fade to black”.

Besides, even if that law was repealed, he still could be sued because that law existed when that guy drowned. It’s a very weak plot tbh.

I absolutely adored this show and was completely won over by Eilish’s charm. It was somewhat astonishing that her giggling didn’t ruin the scenes, partially because the writers were really smart about the roles they had her do.

Enjoying the show, but I can’t get past the fact that they are on a HUGE lake. Start walking the perimeter. Build that raft. Something. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but how many huge lakes in the continental US are completely cut off from civilization?

The taco shop isn’t in Santa Monica.

Whereas similar chatter about the plan for Yellowjackets is making its A.V. Club fans very sad. :(

“You’re my onion,” her mother says, “yeah, well, you’re *my onion,” Shiv says. Fuck, why didn’t the reviewer point that line out lol, it was absolutely the best of the episode. The almost-loving glance they give each other after, almost like they can finally agree on something, even if it’s such a painful truth.

Yeah, this wasn’t ambiguous at all, it was clear, coming right off the table read scene.

Dogs running a tens of thousands of years’ long-con on the human race?  I love it!
