He doesn’t know it’s a damn show! He thinks it’s a damn fight!

I thought the story was fine, the concepts were fine.  The first seven episodes were paced to flesh out all these characters and stories.  Unfortunately, if I understand correctly, the run of a show is predetermined and Episode 8 needed to be at least two, perhaps three episodes.  Even halfway through, we’re spending…

Maybe it’s because I’m old. I saw Star Wars in August 1977. I was a teenager who’d already read up a bit on WWII. Hitler was still a real thing that had actually happened not that long ago. 14 year old me ALWAYS understood that the Empire was a big gray box full of complete a$$holes. And as much as many have made…

My thought? “Why didn’t Rhaenys just kill ‘em all?” Rhaenys has always been the smartest person in every scene, the one who knows the truth. Maybe she’s known ever since her wishy washy cousin became king that civil war has to happen. Maybe she’s the real Targaryen seer in the family.

I feel like Rhaenys doesn’t kill them all because she is the one who’s known all along that Civil War has to happen. Rhaenys has always had that feeling that every scene she’s been in, she’s the only one who knows what’s really going on and speaks the truth. Hell, maybe she’s the real Targaryen dream seer.

This is why I liked Rogue One.  I think back to 1977, my reaction when I first saw Star Wars in the theatre.  There was no buildup, no expectation.  There was no talk of a sequel, or a trilogy, or a saga.  The Force had been introduced but sure, Luke had some feel for it, and he’d been introduced to it by a wizard. …

I’ve been laughing for three days that the thing Nemik is holding in his right hand, the manual star chart thingy whatever, is a Polaroid Land Camera.

I rather suspect that GRRM’s point through all of this is that Royalty is a curse and a blight.  It’s almost a send-up of all the horrors which have been done in the name of Empire.  All these people could perhaps have been “good” at some time or another but they’re all so devoted to their Position.  And the point of…

I get Movie Night, but I was 100% hoping for Soul Train style Dance Party.

Everyone loves Han Solo but I don’t think George ever intended him to be a lead.  He’s a foil for Luke.  It’s the exact problem I’ve always had with spinoff TV shows.  Back in the 70s “All In The Family” spun off “The Jeffersons”, “Maude” and “Good Times.”  That was a freakin’ miracle three times over.  Most of the…

I realize it’s the final season, and we’re in DGAF territory (Agent Carter went there too), and I watch superhero TV shows, but... Nathaniel Malick makes no sense to me.  So he’s going to be like Thanos, instead of carrying Infinity Stones he’s going to walk around with stolen glands inside him?  Ludicrous, man.  Not…

Everyone loves Janet’s pop but I think this is her greatest song.  And hell yes, I saw the Rhythm Nation 1990 World Tour up here in Canada.  Say it if you want a better way of life.

Whatever it took... It’s good to have Coulson back. The dude is an Avenger, after all.

Take:  Andy Serkis’ Caesar is one of the most iconic heroes of movie history, right up there with Sigourney’s Ripley.

I think “The Long Night” will go down as one of the most perfect episodes of television ever produced.  Problem was, they had to do some stuff after it.

Three Dolores pearls still exist. We never actually found out what happened to Mushashi’s after Clementine and Hanaryo disappeared with his noggin.

Honestly, I was wondering if and when Ford would show up.  I had my own weird theory that what if it was Ford who was in Dolores Prime?  But that’s all gone now, no Ford at all this season and if they did somehow bring him back after all that’s happened it would be ridiculous.

Nope nope nope. Been saying it all along, the entire concept of “I don’t like and don’t understand Murder-Dolores” has always been a headfake on the viewer. The entire point of this show has always been that Robert Ford realized that Dolores was the best thing he and Arnold created. Am I a Dolores fanboy? Sure I am.…

You kinda missed one important step in the SNL movie/cultural continuum:  “Blues Brothers.”  I know a lot of people think it’s shit, and maybe it was.  But in 1980 me and a few buddies went to a drive-in, got high as fuck, and got our minds blown for two hours that remain part of our culture today.  “Ghostbusters” was…

What if the real question is actually not “Who’s in Charlotte” but “Who’s in Dolores?”
