...and I was like, ‘Hey, last guy who did that got double barrel pink eye.’

I keep seeing people making the Star Trek: The Next Generation comparison, and obviously it’s an influence. But it sure looks and feels like Seth’s trying to make something far less earnest or serious even if it still has dramatic elements. The dialogue, tone, and overall production values remind me a lot more of…

Barbara’s back so I’m happy. She seemed a little subdued, but hopefully she’s back to full batshit levels pretty soon.

DON’T YOU JUDGE ME!

I was surprised by it after tuning in out of morbid curiosity. I liked the kid playing the young version when he was on Big Little Lies, and he was good here as well. As you say, Metcalf’s daughter nails her impression of her mom. And the kid playing the little sister was fantastic. The choice to go single camera and…

Discovery Channel. It was pretty good. It’s already on Netflix now if you have that.

And now the happy couple will take the floor for their first dance.....

I tuned in just for Edie Falco not expecting to see so many names in the credits that I also enjoy watching. It wasn’t a strong beginning, but Elizabeth Reaser, Lolita Davidovich, Josh Charles, Anthony Edwards, Heather Graham, Chris Bauer, Michael Silver, and Julianne Nicholson are all good enough reasons for me to…

So that was better than I’d have thought. I tuned in because I’ll watch John Larroquette in absolutely anything, but ended up enjoying it quite a bit. It’s got heart. And seeing Allison Tolman, Kelan Coleman, and Sharon Lawrence was a nice surprise.

Clearly you’ve never spent any time on twitter.

Carla Gugino! Friday can’t get here soon enough.

I need this NOW. I just found out that it existed the other day by chance when I was doing something else and got bounced into Hertzfeldt’s twitter. I know he’s already done a run to qualify for the Oscars, so I’m hoping like hell the rest of us get to see it soon on VOD or Netflix like the last one.

Loved the fact that he got so much attention from a new group of people after his Luke Cage appearance which, like several of the musical acts, was a highlight of the season.

Setting aside his premise of “this is why poor people don’t vote for dems”, it’s still awful and a demonstration of the fact that the ACA is tantamount to putting a bandaid on a gaping shotgun wound. (I would also point out that before about Nov 2016 aka The Year of Spectacular Dem Hubris, there was talk from some…

I think it is unreasonable for pats on the back all round and equivocating bullshit like “The ACA has problems, but”, which is typically what one gets. It’s a attitude that inures many people to the inadequacy of the legislation for literally millions of Americans, the fact that actually it probably should be repealed…

“and the millions of poor Americans who benefit from it” sounds like something written by someone who doesn’t know very many poor people. To wit:

It’s in your face but you can’t grab it.

Looks good. Molly Parker’s awesome. I’m not comfortable with Thomas Jane looking like somebody’s grandpa yet though. I refuse to believe that time’s going by that fast.

That’s a good one. I loved the Next Generation episodes that had darker endings. The one that sprang to mind for me here when I saw that The Orville wasn’t going to pull up for the happy ending was the end of “The Perfect Mate.”
