The first season of Hannibal is my favorite. I had watched Band of Brothers shortly before I started with his BSG, and the humans came across as incompetents who would deservingly doom their species to extinction. That first regular episode was good though, and later seasons were much worse.

Game of Thrones ended, whereas Walking Dead aspires to walk forever.
There are a number of people notable enough for wikipedia pages named “David Friedman”. But only one “David Benioff”. If I heard the name “David Friedman”, my first assumption is that it’s the son of Milton Friedman and father of Patri Friedman, not the son of the New York Fed chairman.
I think the people calling them talentless hacks are wrong, but I agree that it reflects badly on them how much they gave up during the later seasons. Apparently they were basically exhausted by the huge lumbering beast the show had become, but part of being a showrunner is delegating responsibility to the larger…
Benioff wrote The 25th hour, which was good.

Since someone here liked this when I linked it recently, and I’ve repeatedly listening to it myself, I ought to include this:
The original Mexican version of We Are What We Are is WAY better. It’s basically a family drama where the family happen to be cannibals, and there’s no explanation why and none of the characters question it because it’s what they’ve known all their lives. The remake has awful flashbacks to give some stupid origin…
I’d argue that a zombie apocalypse is the one scenario where that’s actually a justified response.
I don’t use ride-sharing services often, though I did just read today someone claiming that the threat of a low-rating diminishes how talkative they are relative to cabs:
What a disappointing movie.

I was dissapointed by Headey there. It’s like they undid her arc from the original film. The interesting characters were all from the future.
I’ve been saying that for years. Judgement Day just added a big budget for CGI on top of a lot of plot holes while rehashing beats from the original to a lesser effect.
Scott Thompson witnessed a school shooting? That’s news to me.
Since you’ve seen both, do you mind elaborating?
I was happy to watch Julia Garner as Kimmy on The Americans for multiple seasons, so another episode of her doing that schtick is fine by me. I’d just prefer it to be an episode of The Americans rather than this show, which I admittedly haven’t watched.
Weird that Tom Breihan made The Octagon representative of action movies that year.
Missing Link was about a Bigfoot, but I believe it also contained yetis.
