This is distracting from the real issue, which is that according to a credible rumour I’ve heard, Moriarty is the descendant of Sherlock Holmes’ adversary and is continuing the work of his criminal empire.

Fuck, in the parlance of our times, the haters. I saw it tonight, and I enjoyed the shit out of it. Kamala is an ever-spinning dynamo of fun, and the other two bounce off her with aplomb. Plus: cats, cats, cats!

Just saw it. It was a blast.

Iirc, Patty Jenkins was supposed to direct The Dark World, but that fell through and she left Marvel, and so Portman wanted out. But she was contractually obligated to stay. It’s not a huge surprise she’s kind of phoning in her performance a bit.

Benati is phenomenal in everything. 

Can the New Yorker investigate whether Steven Wright ever actually had a pony?

IMO season 4 was the best of the lot, albeit the most traditional in the sense that it’s a fairly straightforward supernatural slasher horror. Not quite as weird or psychological as the other three. But it has the most incident and strong kinetic sequences. 

“Has a single person ever actually seriously considered this as a possibility?”

Using villainous guy to solve crimes against African Americans...it’s Black Blacklist!

Oh no. I was gunna check it out, but movies with voice over narration from the main character are big pet peeve of mine (with a couple of exceptions)

I disagree! I’d put Superstore on par with even The Office’s best seasons.

It already exists, it’s called Superstore. In this one, there’s more balance in the Jim-Pam relationship, as Jim (who looks like Ryan Howard) is a screwup who’s forced to take a menial job at a store and Pam is his superior at work. Dwight is a woman, Stanley is in a wheelchair, Kevin is an Hawaiian woman, etc.

But it averages out, because most people also absolutely don’t have Peacock or give a shit about a John Wick side project involving nobody from John Wick.

You don’t need NFTs or blockchain to run a closed market for skins or whatever. 

Better that than six seasons of Perrin trying to rescue Faile from the Shaido Aiel.

My guess/hope is that we’re about to see Egwene captured by the Seanchan, at which point we will learn way more about just how little agency the damane truly have.

They did cast Faile for season 3, so at that point Perrin will at least have some semblance of a story. He was always the least interesting of the Rand-Mat-Perrin trio in the books (and I really hope they figure out something better for him and Faile to do than the irritatingly long “Rescue Faile” arc from the books).

whose birth from a pregnant walker is considered by many to be a miracle.

I’m going to miss this batshit crazy show. I’ll never stop mentioning it, but I think the best moment was when the cult leader tried to escape by riding a rocket Doctor Strangelove style while wearing a Knieval costume.

It does not end on a cliffhanger. You can watch the first season as a single story.
