And of course the whole effort usually reeks of a corporate cash-grab (although to be fair to Dan Akroyd, he has been sincerely, if crazily, pursuing a Ghostbusters sequel for decades).

More Kubrickian really, when you think about it.

I don’t quite share your antipathy toward musical theater culture, but I did LOL when I read your comment.  :-)

Lillian’s worldview that the #MeToo movement has hindered guys’ abilities to pick up women is literally textbook incel rhetoric and never really goes challenged by the episode

Uh, even if Malek knew, who cares? I don’t judge actors by the directors they choose to work with unless the actor is such a big name that they can pick their own projects at will, which definitely doesn’t describe Malek’s status at the time he signed up for this film.

Keep in mind that the current president got to that position after it was revealed that the former president was an alien and resigned. We might reasonably assume that the administration is being purged of cabinet members and other personnel who had been hired at the former president’s direction due to concerns about…

In fact, is that Kara’s apartment repurposed?

I’d suggest the bigger problem is that having Nia come out as transgender before revealing she’s an alien makes a mess of things by implicitly calling into question whether the character is really transgender or not (I know the real life actress playing the role is, but that doesn’t mean the character automatically is)…

There’s no way a new version will be allowed to be anywhere near as traumatizing for kids as the original, at least not without scoring a PG-13 rating. 

Thank you, I had somehow overlooked that.

Kotomichi talked with Tagomi about originally being from Nagasaki in season 1 (which hinted at him being a traveler based on his burns), but when did Kotomichi actually say he was a traveler?

Guyliner, please.

That’s just ass-backwards, my friend.

Their lemonade really is the best thing there.  I assuage my guilt over patronizing a homophobic business by getting lots of refills -- I’m drinking away their profits one delicious, hate-filled drop of lemonade at a time!

I would submit that your problem is that you’re not consuming your Chick-fil-a fries quickly enough. They have about a seven minute window of excellence after coming out of the fryer and then their quality deteriorates very rapidly.

You know that your comment could literally be cut and pasted from 50,000 different comment threads on various right-wing sites complaining about celebrities making comments about various current events, right?
