Every time he dragged Agents’ set design, I just thought “Do you seriously not think you’ve made your point about this by now?”

It always baffled me why Sava reviewed these superhero shows. He seemed to hate all that he reviewed. And he loved to bag on these shows, which remember all had a production budget of $12, about their set design, with Agents of SHIELD frequently taken to task for their inadequate set dressing. The only one he…

Someone might have already said this, but just in case: it’s on Tubi for free. I just had a Fact or Fiction marathon this weekend, it was great.

the system that rewards “out-of-control mad white male genius” directors regularly fails those placed under their care

I love Sam Neil.  

I am genuinely so sad to hear that they went the whole “Katherine Parr was trying to hold onto power” route with Elizabeth’s time in her care. Yeah, she knew about Seymour’s behavior with Elizabeth (there’s a whole discussion to be had about this of course), but there’s nothing that seems to indicate that it was an…

This is titled a ‘recap’; I don’t think the aim is to produce something for people to read before watching.

Worth noting this is the 2nd TV adaptation of the Leaphorn/Chee stories - there was a 3 episode run on PBS Mystery almost 20 years ago starring legend Wes Studi as Leaphorn and Adam Beach as Chee. There's also a 30 year-old movie of Dark Winds with Fred Ward and Lou Diamond Phillips.

Sounds like a job for Alan Alda.

Yup it’s the TV equivalent of the death of the mid budget movie. Everything’s prestige or trash, with very limited selections in between.

I’m a little annoyed that everything is a super special limited event cinematic drama masterpiece these days.

To be honest, the Golden Age of TV is great and all, but I’m a little annoyed that everything is a super special limited event cinematic drama masterpiece these days. I know there’s still plenty dross out there too, but I miss something like the humble basic cable light drama—your Leverages, your Burn Notices, your…

I get that being controversial is a thing. “Kids these days, they’d never be able to make Blazing Saddles today.” Hey edgy, cutting edge. Mmm mmm good.

The thing is there’s been a lot of research about “hard work” in regards to lower class and the rich. Most find that their really is no difference between work ethic between the two class. What does make the difference is time.

If you are rich, you can afford to take vacation, afford child care, afford good health…

I have a friend who has worked at Space X for about a decade now, he has always been in the office 60-70 hours a week. Dude’s probably a millionaire by now with the stock he’s picked up, but it’s not worth the tradeoff to me.

Yeah..what the fuck?  A minimum of 40 hours is pretty much a 9-5, rendering remote work useless.  Which of course is the point.

“And this is [showrunner] Michael [Patrick King]’s baby. He created this role. He wrote it. Those are his and his writing team’s jokes.”

Sara Ramirez is fantastic. Che is terrible. But nuMiranda is the absolute worst.

Che wasn’t polarizing; we all hated them.
