I agree with Amber (even if I can’t really work up any interest in this character), but she was much better off without an audience. The laughs and applause sound canned and take away from the moment. 

Yes, I think that was true, especially because the conflicts and banter had to be written in a more balanced manner and not just pouting or tantrums. They had already started to build David more into an adult when he was working for Robin Duke, but Noah has such a quiet charm from the start that it almost demands…

He was great as Patrick, always making a character who could have easily been a Gary Stu type feel believable, and making the slow progression of Patrick’s self-acceptance matter as much as any flashy transformation. He also had some terrific comic timing. Congrats to him. 

That show had such a wonderful supporting cast - the leads are fantastic too but it’s the support that really helps (especially in the first season). 

Sometimes it seems like Aidy just ends up playing the same two parts on SNL, when she  can do much more. I suppose staying on  SNL is part of the trade for getting to do these other projects. 

I have no interest in watching this, and I don’t understand why people are clamoring for a biopic. I know how emotionally appealing biopics can be, but most of the details of his life which would get focus are either well-worn (his drug use) or just heartbreaking to think about. Do people really want to see someone…

I do remember the coverage, because of the shocks involving her and then her husband, as well as the usual vultures of these years (from Perez to Larry King). The main difference between now and then is the gawking and sneering has been papered over by “times are different” posturing designed to make the viewer feel…

Is David McCallum still there? Talk about staying power.

He  wasn’t in the original cast - they brought him and Nancy Stafford in for season 2 to, presumably, have a sexy young couple whose romantic relationship would get attention - but he was definitely one of the most prominent and popular. The story arc where started taking more and more risks in his sex life was…

I did not realize until looking around Twitter that many people wanted Zac Efron to play Adam  Warlock. Why....????

13 Reasons Why was one of the most heinous pieces of shit I can remember seeing on TV, made even worse by people being gaslighted for years over how “important” and “aware” the show was. Netflix has had so many toxic shows, but that will always take the cake. 

I always knew there was something untrustworthy about Leo Sayer.

I’m all for representation, and I know it’s too cynical to just dismiss any attempts at progress in comics as a sales stunt. My only question is - how long ago was it that this character was still a child (part of some cutesy double act with Damian Wayne) and was then magically aged for Legion reboot #438 that never…

Given the mostly critical reviews here and the post-season roundtable that leaned more toward being critical, I’m glad to see another perspective, but it feels a bit like someone waving a  flag long after the parade was shut down. 

I think Lorne wanting headlines and hoping for a short term ratings boost. The ratings boost wasn’t really that big so I wonder if it will make these stunt castings less likely.

Yes, Oz was very good, especially in those first 4-5 seasons, at slowly building up background characters. Adams caught your eye easily, as he was so handsome and had a quiet charisma. As Said broke down, Arif became an ever more important character. I’m sorry to year he has passed.

I enjoyed Owen’s presence more, as he was very warm and likeable, I just didn’t think the comic timing was there. The show’s poor direction plays a big part though.

You’re right. I think there are times they clearly get to something late. Other times the coverage manages to feel  fresh to me, like their few  weeks of COVID talk before the show had to shut down.

Melissa got one of her better political showcases in the premiere. I think James Austin Johnson is fine (his Lindsey Graham was miles better than Kate’s), but the writing is key.  The one last week was mixed at best. This week was just bad. Both felt endless. The cold opens have been poorly written for many years but…

I  was hoping they might have had Kenan dressed up as his WUTW character, introducing him.
