"a word which here means"

There aren't any rules, but it's generally considered polite to err on the side of caution and not spoil anything?

It was a pun based on poor spelling.

Olaf mentions he lost the sugar bowel.

I'm glad they got away with the scenes with the knife in the second episode, given that the final two stories had some of their more violent moments adapted out or smoothed over.

It's already been renewed, just not officially.

Jacqueline's theatrical criticism doesn't pass muster. In the narrative of the play, Olaf's character is actually standing by a lake, so his use of the word "literally" is perfectly acceptable.

Joan Cusack is wonderful as Strauss. If the children had only been able to live with her . . . well, the series would be over.

I've liked Emerald City a lot, but I think it basically holds together. The mother's part of the show's mytharc, so I doubt the show will get to her much this season, but Mombi will be back, and I think it's pretty clear that Glinda is behind whatever bullshit people are pulling in the capital. Other than that,…

I find it frustrating — like The Slap — where the discussion about the title ends up distracting people from the actual show.

"Filler episodes" are a nebulous concept at best.

Capsule reviews for stuff I watched. Reading back, these are a little terse, but I assure you that I enjoyed them better than the following critiques might imply.

Uh, in the book's he's incapable of working out Sunny's identity because she's wearing a balaclava.

I thought it was — I've only watched half of it, I admit, but that's what it seems to be.

It's satire, so it's technically a comedy.

I've seen it suggested that it'll turn up on Amazon Prime after the season finishes airing.

I'm stunned he's never worked with Lynch before.

Probably a different character though — the last time Fuller wrote the character, she'd lost her legs to diabetes.

Which really pisses me off — how long did it take for classic shows to "get good"? Buffy season 1 would be considered to be basically wretched these days. Firefly might have gotten a second season in today's climate, but you just know fans would have torn it a new one for its lack of serialisation.

Cinemax is in a weird, hazy place right now. The two shows everyone expected to be hits (Quarry and The Knick) are sitting in limbo, and it's not clear how far on they are with their new shows (Warrior and <micronesian blues<="" i=""> from the writers behind Banshee, and their adaptation of The Boys).
