Do you think wealthy pop culture celebrities (actors, singers, etc.) deserve their wealth?

I suppose it’s a reminder there’s a whole other parallel existence sharing my timeline where there are people for whom this hog shit is appointment viewing.

this was a fucking amazing pilot, with a superb cast in both timelines.

I think it was implied that there was at least a mutual attraction between Mabel and Oscar back in the day. He compliments her while everyone is getting ready for the NYE party. 

My question: Why did Jan work so hard to throw Charles et al. off the track of the Dimas family as potential suspects? Wouldn’t that be likely to cause them to look at other suspects and potentially put her in the spotlight?

Who suppressed the toxicology report on Tim Kono?

Anthem of the pandemic man.

Il est temps pour ça. Merci Stromae.

Rebecca’s storyline has been one of my biggest issues with the season. It’s the typical “Well we’ve soften our female character so now what? OH LOVE!”...Given Rebecca started the show not caring about Richmond, the great follow up of season 2 would be Rebecca really getting into the nitty gritty of the job and dealing…

Last year I felt like Ted Lasso was the show we needed in that moment. Its escapist fantasy and humor gave us a dose of heartwarming reassurance that the world was actually full of good natured people that could support each other. It allowed us to ignore the trauma that we were all facing and provide us a sense of…

As much as I enjoy Scrubs, it had a tendency to get bogged down in go-nowhere relationship drama that accomplished little more than padding out the storylines. “Can Elliot get over herself enough to date a male nurse?...Yes, but a couple of weeks later she’ll dump him because Ricky Schroder’s guest spot* was only…

Behold: Baroness Rodmilla de Ghent! Now that’s how you write a Big Bad! Ever After endures because it delivers not only a great hero but also a great villain.

Asimov and Katerina are parallels to Vicious and Julia. That is a narrative cue that Vicious ruined his relationship with Julia because of his drug use. This is why Vicious can dodge bullets in the same manner Asimov can. Why Vicious’s eyes changed. Why there was a used vial of bloody eye by Julia’s window. Vicious…

Yeah, I always clocked Spike’s confrontation with Vicious in the finale as being motivated in no small part by him knowing that Jet and Faye were next on Vicious’ kill list. A lot of interpretations I’ve read put it all on Spike being completely unable to live in the present or too broken by the death of Julia, as if…

I think Captain Marvel 2, the sequel to the 26th-highest grossing film of all time, is The Marvels because Kevin Feige decided that was the direction he wanted to go in, and not because a few youtube channels got mad. And I think Daniella Pineda probably tried to pull her video because people mobbed and harassed her…

Again, not really seeing the insult inherent in “i don’t look like a cartoon character, deal with it” or “let’s get some other voices in the mix for once” unless it’s baggage the other side is bringing to the party. If folks have the right to comment on Pineda’s body or clothes, she’s got a right to comment on their…

I think lightly ribbing some lonely weirdos for being mad she doesn’t look and dress exactly like a drawing is a pretty big stretch for “shitting on fans.” And honestly, Larson saying that she wants to hear from more critical voices besides pale male ones isn’t really “shitting on fans” either, unless someone’s got…

My Cowboy Bebop essay:

I kind of felt like in the anime Vicious is sort of thinly sketched on purpose, because Spike’s past is a vague mystery and not really the point of the show. The actual heart of the show is the dynamic between the Bebop crew. The emotional climax of the story is really the scenes where Spike has his final goodbye to…

This isn’t explicitly stated but just about every other Red Dragon character we meet reacts to Spike along the lines of “I wish you hadn’t left” or “things would be different if you were still here” etc. Spike had everyone’s loyalty but didn’t give two shits about the power. Vicious wanted all of the power but had…
