After this episode, I wondered if Moloch was even possibly on Metropolis’ payroll? It made the whole thing seem even more like playacting than Moore did, or like a Venture Brothers kind of thing. Maybe it’s just that conflict is always going to seem trivial next to the material this episode dug into.

Another great review from Joelle Monique here. I recently encountered a near version of “you’re not black-black” in the wild and it was kind of astonishing to see in the context of the moment. Obviously it happens all the time and what would I know about it...I don’t know where I was going with this but I compliment…

I definitely like how Lindelof is even undercutting Alan Moore’s ideas and what the Minutemen were doing back in their time. Pretending to be heroes while a real problem was going on. On point for something called Watchmen.

I have no adequte words. It’s both an immense relief and a genuine pleasure to see that not only does Damon Lindelof actually seem to UNDERSTAND the original comic, but also that he’s not afraid to go deeper and poke the very foundations of the storytelling that the original comic was riffing on in the first place.…

Anyone else watch the recent French sci-fi Netflix show, Osmosis? It’s kinda pretentious (I did say it’s French) but I got sucked into its moody atmosphere and appreciated that it was kinda low tech sci-fi—no huge special effects and set in a near future that only is slightly more tech savvy than our own with much of…

I loved season 1.

I absolutely adore this show. Derivative? Yes. Enjoyable? ABSOLUTELY.

But dammit, we will make sure NFL players stand during the anthem! Because freedom and the troops!

Remember when Pence used to write op-eds about how women shouldn’t serve in the military?

“Some if you will die on the battlefield of another unnecessary foreign war!” Encouraging speech, Mike.

Murder House was the first thing I thought of with this finale, too. Same rush to get dying characters inside the house so they can turn into ghosts and everything. The imitation wasn’t exactly subtle (although Ryan Murphy certainly isn’t the first person to frame the allure of undeath as the opportunity to be united…

I am not as down on this show as the reviewer is, I actually think it is very well done. It is terror meets family drama. All the family has been forever affected by what happened to them and as a multipart series the scares actually are dolled out pretty well. The thing this series does well and what a horror movie…

I love coming to articles that mention Hereditary, because the same people come to post the exact same contrarian comments they’ve left on every other article that mentions Hereditary. It’s just so maddening when people like something that you don’t, huh?

Well, that and lesbians

To be fair, that’s what the Haunting of Hill House has ALWAYS been about.  Watch the original (1950s) movie, or read the book.  There are scares that were quite intense in their day (not so much now), but primarily it’s a character study of a very sad and lonely woman.  Both that book and the original movie I would…

All this has happened and will happen again.

You’re right. What you said was an opinion.

Every time Darin Morgan writes an episode, he gives Duchovny something ridiculous to do. And every time, Duchovny looks like he’s having the time of his life doing it. Tonight’s highlights were definitely “squatchin’” and his leg-kicking tantrum when he got the alien’s book of “all the answers”.

I definitely enjoy my x-files goofy and fun. The first two episodes were a snooze. The “that dude is creepeee” line killed me, especially since all we’ve learned about that actor in the interim.
