That's fair. I think my reaction was visual more than logical.

That's a good point. I think I'm mainly overreacting to what I saw visually as a difference in agency/power.

Everything I've read about this movie indicates it's great, but the trailer made me super uncomfortable. I know the actors are adults and 17-24 isn't a huge deal, but there's such a visual contrast between the two actors.

OH GOD PLEASE DON'T SPREAD ESMAIL TOO THIN

Pittsburgh got Chicago, but I can't remember if we got Palisades. The love songs were exclusively about men, though.

You're right—I didn't realize it until they showed it in the next episode's "previously on" recap.

It's a pretty established trope at this point. Books and movies have had similar depictions for decades. I actually find it kind of tedious, but this was done well enough that I liked it.

I would have accepted a similar explanation, but they offered none. It's frustrating, if not important, and I wonder if there was a line or scene cut that tied it together.

There's a specific explanation in the books, but I don't think it's been introduced in the show. So they might go in a different direction.

For me, the books started out okay and got better with each one. I'm hesitant to recommend the first book, but if you've already read the first two, I'd definitely encourage you to read the third.

He's lying (in part of the monologue, at least). Not only did he tear up at a memory of Morty in season one, but he was at least a little alturistic when he turned himself in at the end of season two. I can't remember how it turned out, but wasn't there something with his catch phrase being an expression of emotional…

I'm baffled by this reference, and I have no idea how to formulate an appropriate Google query.

The transition from Julia #n to current Julia was heartbreaking.

Please order a series run thanks.

Yeah, I like the show more than the books, but it's hard not compare this to the visceral fun of god-moding yourself with invisible armor. I swear I'm being earnest, even if I thought a lot of the RPG/game stuff got annoying.

The sloth was my favorite character in the second book. I doubt it will happen, but I'd love to see them do some of the weirder stuff that relates to her.

But they claim to dock her pay in response.

My sister once sent me a ranking article just so I could be outraged that "Who Pooped the Bed?" was among the worst.

I didn't care for the episode at first because I just spent the whole time waiting for what was an underwhelming reveal for me. Reading this review makes me reconsider: I was too annoyed with the plot to pay enough attention to Cricket himself.

I've always found the end of the pool episode ("Mac and Charlie: White Trash") kind of heartwarming. The whole gang is defeated and humiliated and they find a simple way to share some joy by opening a fire hydrant.
