One thing this show is denying, I think, is the idea that Dolores wants to destroy all humans. She’s pretty much said straight out that she now wants hosts to live free and equal to humans, which is to say undisturbed, with no one hunting them. For that, she needs to own Delos and keep it running behind the scenes. We…

1/ The problem with sloppy editing for runtime, and poor writing, is that they’re kind of indistinguishable.

Valid criticisms. I am liking the show, but it’s obvious where the writing is weak. And in such cases, I always wonder if it’s just because editorial corners must be cut. For example, yes it would be better if the relationship between Narek and Soji were more “earned”, but on the other hand, I can’t stand the guy,…

That is exactly why I liked the show from the start.  Fuck humans.  We deserve it.

Just to say thanks for bringing up Kirk Lazarus.

I agree 100%. And I did so the first time I watched Last Jedi, and I did so the first time I watched Rise of Skywalker. That you had to expend so many words to explain what I felt was obvious, is what I don’t get about “Star Wars Fans” who love to hate Star Wars.

Someone brought up Adrian Veidt, and yep, seriously, Palpatine is TOTALLY a guy who would jizz in a machine.

“Cheesecake sexiness?” Ahem. All I’mma say is, it’s 43 years later and there’s no way that today, you could do a show largely fronted by women’s nipples.

The monumental eye-fucking throughout “The First Avenger” is the reason I will bemoan my life lived without Margaret Carter in it.

GIVE THIS TO ME NOW

Hail Hydra.

Drew, was it you? I remember someone wrote up a piece a few seasons ago about something like the “Quarterback Insanity Rankings”, the way even the slightest rumor about an NFL QB could make “fans” overreact.  The overreactions to Luck retiring remind me of it.

That’s really, really f*cking sweet, man.  Beautiful.

Is this just simpler than anyone thinks?  ALL of Tarantino’s movies are about scumbag semi-heroes who go up against The Worst Scumbags of All Time, and just Kill The Shit out of them, and we dig it because for once, maybe Deserve Does Have Somethin’ To Do With It.

As a Canadian, an outsider if you will, I know the one thing I don’t talk shit to you folks about is 9/11. Under any circumstances.

No matter who... if the words “Do you know who I am?” ever come out of your mouth, you’ve gone to a bad place.

It’s a little thing, but that just made my whole day.

Seriously, isn’t this just a commentary on the state of acting in this type of movie? Stand in a green room and yell at things you’re imagining in front of you.

Check this out. My phone ear is my right ear. Can’t use my left at all. You’d think I can’t hear out of it. I actually have some damage in it, high-end loss, and a bit of tinnitus from time to time. Right ear all the way.

Know what? For me, Thor’s story in this movie is THE most human. We were forced to understand in the last movie exactly all the character’s been through. Then they gave him the big loss at the end, when he thought he had the big win. Now we see the physical damage of all that. Easy to understand.
