io9 gives a glowing review to virtually any piece of shit, too.

I loved this show but I had next to no idea what was going on by the end of S1 without the help of the (extremely spoilerific) wikipedia cast list.

Thanks for the passionate dissertation about a guy neither of us know, but I’ve had my struggles with mental health too in my own life, and I don’t need you telling me how I’m allowed to feel about what I consider an exploitative situation. We can agree to disagree, which I tried to do multiple posts ago, and there is…

You stan, I get it. And I think as a showrunner with experience with this kind of volatile and/or self-destructive behavior in his talent Michaels knows better than to enable this. He doesn’t do it or doesn’t seem to care, because Davidson’s private-public life is a social media flashpoint the show actively engages…

That’s not the point. Lorne’s been around the block with crisis cases. He is the employer and mentor. He should know better.

That’s what I said in another post, yes. I know his stand-up. That doesn’t mean I find it healthy the way SNL has turned it into a full court press and commoditized it week after week - Pete’s life, Pete’s girlfriend-now-ex, Pete’s struggles. It’s dangerous. And Lorne enables it. You don’t have to agree with me, I…

Y’all think I haven’t had mental illness? Okay.

Exactly.

I personally don’t think there is any separation. IIRC, PD was doing this in stand-up even before Ariana Grande. Now it’s become an expected part of the show: The Pete Davidson public catharsis, starring the approachable cute young white guy (just like Jimmy!) who also happens to have dated a superstar and also…

I see what every American sees week after week. I don’t think the way he’s expected and encouraged to share every detail of his ongoing struggles with a cheering youth demo Weekend Update audience or whatever is at all healthy. It started with his stand-up and now SNL and NBC have commoditized it to a dangerous degree.…

Yes, clearly it’s only me.

I didn’t say he was untalented. I do think he is not in any condition to be doing this show week in week out, oversharing his real life and having it be his primary contribution to the show to an audience of millions.

If Lorne Michaels cares about Pete Davidson, Lorne Michaels needs to let Pete Davidson go. AFAIC he is exploiting that kid and his RL mess for social media buzz over his relationship and life dramas as well as his appeal to youth demographics. He wants him to be Jimmy Fallon II with the added bonus of IRL pop drama…

Debatable. But that’s still not enough to call them “more popular”. I love Monica but even today, despite her leading the Avengers in the Stern years, only a certain faction of comic fans know who she is.

Outside of the terrible Civil War II I have never seen any rabid anti-Carol sentiment from anyone outside the alt right trolls brigading the movie.

To be fair, even among the comics community both Monica and Kamala are much more well loved than Carol is.

Has Nabin finally gone full unironic juggalo?

This slanted piece aside I’m not exactly a QT acolyte myself. But I’m pretty sure Uma Thurman herself came out and spoke on his behalf re: the Kill Bill situation when he spoke out and apologized. I’m not sure they are “former” friends.

They brought it back and it was wonderful. I was its only fan decades ago and I still love it.

Neither Daenerys nor Jon are walking away from this. There will be no Iron Throne.
