It feels like they were intended as Easter eggs but like... Red Apple cigarettes are an Easter egg. The ghost of the father of season 1's protagonist doing a dance that leads to the discovery of the corpses is more than an Easter egg. The same symbol from the first season cropping up constantly and being a central…

Nah the golf twirp, whose storyline and overall inclusion was pointless

I wonder if there’s a sliding scale of likeness rights — it kind of looks like Harrison Ford, but not exactly like Harrison Ford.

I was surprised Lorraine’s bodyguard (the one that was nice to Scotty when she went to confront Dot) disappeared.

Overall I liked the season but I think it falls a bit below S1 and S2 for me. Everything with Roy, Gator, Dot, and Ole Munch was great and I really enjoyed the final scene with Munch cooking biscuits with Dot. But I felt like the show could have done more with Indira (especially if they had tossed out the frankly…

Noah Hawley has always loved playing with the yin and yang in this show

I’m having a lot of trouble getting into this season. Prior seasons have had a mix of more grounded characters (Gus Grimly, Molly and Lou Solverson) and heightened characters (Karl Weathers, Oraetta Mayflower, V.M. Varga). This season, none of the main character act like real people, and that makes it very hard for me…

I’m liking it a lot, but I don’t know where she goes from here.

I’m sorry, this episode was full of bad exposition and trite speeches.

I have more of an issue with how the episode was edited more than his performance. It wouldn’t have been as bad if they layered in music underneath or cut to more reactions during his monologues. Having to hang on him during every spoken word made every scene felt longer than it actually was.

I thought there was no Moon Knight season 2

Unclear character motivations? A lot of yelling about how so and so will lead to the deaths of trillions of space worlds that are never shown? Two characters that have slightly inappropriate chemistry that they almost certainly will not be able to realize for some sci-fi reasons? A nice period piece scene that is the…

I agree that this episode did not help establish what Loki really wants. He really wanted to to tell everyone about Kang in the premiere, that’s fine. And then he wanted to find Slyvie because... ? I guess because he saw her in the future? Was he that hot on finding her before that glimpse?

But now that he found her..…

The review touched upon the episode feeling like two wildly different approaches crammed together. The smaller, human moments felt profoundly disconnected from the frantic plotification, and the latter somehow managed to combine wheel-spinning and table-setting into an unsatisfying platter. I think the writers are…

The deadpan - errr, pan that William cites above in his Stray Observations gave me an intense Wes Anderson beat.

- Felt like a lot was happening, but not much was actually going on.
- Is it possible that OB wasn’t just remembering things, but that Loki was actually changing time in the TVA?
- Since Loki was pulled out of all other threads, does that mean that except for Sylvie there won’t be any other Loki variants?
- I think that…

I saw one trailer and dismissed it as a Skyline/Battle Los Angeles-esque epic-on-a-budget movie. I thought Rogue One and Edwards’ Godzilla were both fine, but heavily flawed, so I really had no interest in this movie. Reading this has definitely piqued my interest.

I’ve noticed a certain strain of SW fan get super defensive when you deign to criticize what they love. 

There’s been this weird, faintly desperate trend to rehabilitate MEA’s reputation—and I understand it probably runs better now on PC than it does on my PS4—but the game is just bad. It’s full of interesting ideas executed astonishingly poorly, wretched QoL problems that were easy fixes[1], and a lack of any sense of…

Whereas I think it’s almost always the funnest part of any book on a filmmaker. The Road Not Taken is inherently interesting. I’ll pass on Youtubers making 15 minute videos based on a paragraph of information, though.
