Not Twin Peaks, Norse-ern Exposure!

“...where it was basically legal to use babies as mops.”

I doff my cloth cap to you, good Sir!

Certainly, The Boys has shown it’s possible to do an adaptation that rises above the original writer’s , shall we say, proclivities.

Even though I already knew it when I saw “Argo”, it still pissed me off seeing the renderings they paid some other artist to redo. Of course, they were nowhere close to being as spectacular as Kirby’s. I suppose they didn’t want to pay whatever King’s Ransom the Kirby estate demanded for the originals, but still. I…

He used to joke around in interviews about his name, saying it had too many ‘D’s, and if you take them all out, he’s E-war Woo-war. (Which turns him into a Star Wars character.)

Did you have to mention Mike Colter’s available? So, Fargo could have been the very unofficial, time-jumped continuation of Luke Cage?
(Yes, I liked season 2. It just should have been 8-10 episodes.)

It gave me great pleasure that, while Penny Dreadful was airing, Eva Green was killing it across the pond as a Victorian femme fatale in “The Luminaries”. Not to mention, “Perry Mason” coming right after and doing seedy 30s noir so much better. Sorry, John Logan. Karma’s a bitch!

Given the situation in the trial, and this being the “Perry Mason” origin story, I’m fine with paying off the juror. He thought it was his only shot, and then gets the payoff that his brilliant, hastily composed, closing would have worked regardless. It sets up perfectly for next season, when Ham(ilton) Burger will, fi…

My first work/study job in college in the early 80s was in the computer center printing out and prepping the admin reports. Quadruplicate forms in dot matrix printers, that were fed into industrial-size machines to separate the forms, then another machine to burst the sheets and strip the sprockets off the sides. Jams …

When he showed up at the diner and introduced himself to Perry, the quip that popped into my head was Perry saying, “Well, I know what you’re ordering.” (I’m glad the writer’s room didn’t go there.)

Come on, AoS! You give us Phil Headroom. And he didn’t stutter when he saw “M-M-Mac!” So, at the end, I was sure he was going to when he finally saw “M-M-May”!  Grrrrrr!

Of course, maybe Coke has a copyright on the effect. Which would be sweetly ironic.

You mean, the Chia Beard?!?!

In the season one finale, when the registration of the incoming Starship was being tapped out character by character, I was sure they were doing a huge head-fake, and it would wind up being the Defiant with Prime Lorca at the helm, having figured out some way back. At the time, I groaned when it was the over-reaching…

But did we see him interact physically with Maeve? Everything up unitl the attack mirrored the Charlotte encounter. Did he stop Maeve because she was about to puncture the illusion?

Yes, but he also has five seasons experience scoring the Machine and Samaritan, among others, on PoI, as well. So this stellar work is no surprise!

I’ve had a perverse hope all season they’d throw that in as a absurdist Easter Egg. And this would have been the episode:
Senator Keene prances in, and tosses out a mock sincere “How ya doin’, Agent Blake?” She spits back, in a glorious conflagration of Kartheiser and Smart, “Not great, Joe!”

And for some of us, especially those indifferent to American Beauty, she’ll always be the girl from Ghost World. But, yeah, Hocus Pocus is the seasonal selection.

Given the love the show’s already shown for Roxy Music, “Dance Away” would be epic. Especially the spin they could put on, “you’re dressed to kill, and guess who’s dying”!

Until Philip’s meeting in the park, that was the most tension I felt all episode, wondering when Mail Robot was going to interrupt Stan, at the worst possible moment.

You must go on.
