The WORST L-word

The amount of bitching I see from people about this is unreal. It’s a beta. Caveat emptor. You don’t want to wait for the queue, don’t play it this weekend.

“It’s been very tough on me as I’ve landed a gig on an Emmy-winning series and generally did not have to want for anything for the rest of my days.”

Liked this ep, but like with all prestige TV, it’s not so much the length of the ep as what you’re doing with it, and I do think Ted Lasso isn’t immune to the “B, C, and D-tier plot creep” that is rife in the media. I don’t need to know about Keeley’s office life, really. I also don’t really care about Beard and hope

This show just makes me happy. It’s focused, doesn’t have too many B or C plots (the bane of prestige TV), it’s gorgeous, sounds great...it’s like pulling a comfy blanket over you, mentally.

Sure, it’s about murder, but ya know...still comfy.

I assume that cadence of conversation and probably a lack of period euphemisms, etc. would be striking.

She’s already got Snow White lined up, and I have to assume she was cast for that specifically to piss off the most racists statistically possible.

Whether we wanted it or not, we’ve stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars.

Sweet Tooth got a second season? Huh.

I liked this show but it definitely looked a) expensive and b) probably a bit niche.

But, like, I’d take this 1000x over fucking Wheel of Time, for instance.

They gonna fuuuuuuck

Remember: five no’s and a yes...means yes.

Giraffes are the fungus of the ungulate world, it all makes sense

This looks like shit. Again.

Not very tactical, Tacitus

Ron dropping the third tray makes the episode an A for me. I nearly peed myself. 

I was really, really hoping Bezos, after getting up there, would get the same effect as Shatner and pretty much every other astronaut. It’s a real mental phenomenon and imagine what we could do if we had at least ONE billionaire who was completely devoted to preserving life on this planet.

Penn Badgley for Mr. Fantastic please. Sunset this show and let his “sane-but-not-quite” intensity flourish in the MCU.

She’s a good actress but damn she’s really making hay right now. More power to her, but, like...is she THAT good? I guess we’ll see.
