Interested in the Nathan Fillion panel. One, he’s a delight to watch in interviews. His recent interview with Joel McHale and Ken Jeong for the Darkest Timeline was a treat. He talked about his scuba hobby, his upbringing, etc. But I’m also a fan of The Rookie—even as I understand that it’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine-style…

We’re gonna learn that the author of My Immortal is an MFA grad from Iowa and set to publish a book that’s on the shortlist for a National Book Award or something one of these days, I swear.

Hahaha, Christ. What a story. 

Oh yeah. That’s what Frank Abagnale did, right?

selene’s like:

Yeah, I think you’re exactly right. He just couldn’t keep up, and that scene with Emily in the prison was his realization that he was more of a liability to her than an asset. His time had passed. What a tragic, beautiful performance by Lithgow.

“The gods are angry!”

I’m sure some of the gods—apparently, Greek, which sure, fine—are cool with it. That there’s a big pantheon. Like, you don’t think Aphrodite’s good with some witches messing with Artemis after the whole Adonis thing? You don’t think Hecate’s a little bit proud at the audacity? You gotta remember,…

I believe that one guy he went to this episode—Lyle—was for sure one of the associates. He alluded to the fact that he and E.B. used to juggle the funds together to keep the place afloat, but then they parted ways. 

Considering Ennis’ involvement, his back-and-forth with the brothel owner, and the talk of the “Milwaukee kidnapping ring,” I’m thinking the thread will have to tie into something bigger than just this one case of kidnapping gone wrong. I’m thinking one or more of the Elders (wealthy white men on a power trip, one of…

I thought the performance was very, very strong, even if I understood that it telegraphed his intent immediately. But it also works better now, IMO, that we’ve seen the inverse operation by Della and Perry at the beginning of this latest episode. Putting him back in his bed and pajamas.

I ended up looking up his credits. Good for him:

I dunno. I think there’s something profoundly interesting about someone who starts out a flawed man and cheat but ultimately turns into someone who ends up fully committing to being an ethical lawyer who fights injustice...something which I hope he does.

Spoilers—ish

They started out as street racers stealing DVD players. Now they are super spies fighting car witches and literal cyborgs (Hobbs & Shaw). It rules. Fast Five is the pinnacle, though. Six and seven are well-worth watching, too. They set up important bits of “lore” that ends up being important later. (There’s lore!!)

The way they got Perry into law was incredibly elegant. For one, I thought it would take more than it did. Nope, Della just forged a letter and boom, he’s got the academic/work background in place. But having Hamilton Burger be the one to help Perry Mason, who goes on to become this paragon of law and his eventual…

Whoa. 

This is really good casting. JK Simmons’ voice was already who I was hearing as that character as I was reading the book. (Can’t wait to see my boy Robot.)

Started watching the first season, and...I, uh, thought it wasn’t nearly as bad as I had been left to believe. Daniel Brühl’s a solid dang lead. He’s got a heck of a presence, his character is interesting in his compassion, and overall I’m enjoying the world building. Whether it pays off for me story-wise? Not sure…

I wanted more from the plot. Like, I felt like I barely knew the characters by the end or why they were doing what they were doing, and the villain was well-acted but weak. Too much happening at once. And yet, AND YET: I need more Underworld-style action movies in my life. It was a fun distraction and the ending was…

God, this show rules.
