The new show she’s leaving this to star in sounds really terrible. Just the character names and basic plot description are groaners.

The thing where everyone praises how amazing Rick is all the time is one of the weirdest, most reductive parts of the show. Even the comic was much more nuanced about this, with Rick painted as quite divisive.

The attempt to have suspense over showing Negan was pathetic. AMC seems to believe that people are just obsessed with Negan and the whole show is driven by him on some level. Reality: since Negan was added to the series and dominated the promotional material, ratings have RAPIDLY declined, and the impact was even felt…

She was probably booked early, helping set the schedule they were so worried about meeting. That, and/or they gave her most of the door.

The song feels tuneless. Elvis Costello always seems slickly produced and with clever lyrics, but without memorable melodies.

Yeah, what a great analogy that would have been if David Bowie had been out on the street selling his ass instead of producing creative work with his talent.

Rainer Bock was very good as Werner. I like the subtle moment where he figures out he himself isn’t getting out of the desert, and switches to a damage-control mentality (like a proper engineer).

Boy, is the writer of this review gonna be upset when he finds out the creators of South Park aren’t left-wingers. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

What about the time when they showed Butters restrained in the air in a large machine that inserted a probe into his rectum and began vibrating it so his whole body shook? Did you turn it off then?

I’m super curious about the impressive filming location for the museum.

Yeah, I’m confused by this review: “the same half hour when we learn that Doc and his bitterest enemy are blood relations”—this was established much earlier in the season, and had been very heavily hinted for a long time before that.

I’m from Philly, dingbat.

I hadn’t realized you were talking about Obama. But I’m not sure border enforcement against noncitizens qualifies as tyranny regardless.

“and my discussing it here is certainly not permission for those of you who will never be called a “nigga” or its more hostile counterpart to use it.”

Nigga please. Your permission or lack thereof is meaningless.

For a smart guy, Werner is sure dumb. How can he not realize what kind of people he’s in deep with at this point? What’s he going to do, go home to that wife? You’re both dead. Heck, the puppy is probably dead.

I will be sad if Hank and Dean are pitted against one another, and especially if it’s because of a woman. I never thought Dean would be the sleazy one in that way.

Pretty sure they were already divorced when she worked on the show.

“Even Paul, who’s executing his plan to build a beautiful new gay bar in the Village, is facing skepticism from his primary investor, Vincent, who’s not sure it’s prudent to spend a lot of money on the decor of a place where guys are mainly planning to sneak off into a dark corner. How nice of a joint does it need to…

Yes, very bothered. It’s abysmal, and actually worse this week than last week, when he managed to mangle the word “girl.”

Physics of it look reasonable enough by game standards; what’s the issue?
