And the inevitable The Graduate reboot:

I swear by all that is Owly: if this season ends on a cliffhanger I'm going to lose it.

Yes, she's great! Played by a British actress. Her appearance this season was also a highlight, though I miss Dave Foley as her gropey husband.

The greatest trick the devil every played was convincing a bunch of bone-headed scientists to allow themselves to be written off so sloppily by a hack screenwriter.

Veep since Ianucci left has been… not so good. The elevation of Richard Splett has been great, but otherwise it's getting far too cartoonish ("Camp David" was particularly dumb) and the jokes are just tired.

"Sony's Spider-Man's Marvel Universe"

Oh, shit, Christopher Yost is still on Thor? I sorta assumed they'd gotten a qualified screenwriter for this outing…

So basically it'll be Legion but (looks up The Fault in Our Stars) way, way shittier.

"Much of the blame can be placed on the title, which ties the book to a social movement that lost steam years ago."

A) It's fairly obvious that David's plans would be made much easier by not having to drag a monstrous Xenomorph onboard for the journey to Genesis-II or whatever the fuck it was called. Thing would just kill all the colonists he wants to experiment on.

Consarnit.

And just from a logistics standpoint, it irks me that you see a bunch of characters twice, both in and out of costume. Even Revenge of the Shit never made the mistake of showing Anakin and Vader on the same poster.

This is just like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, only even shittier than the shitty movie adaptation of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

JUST GIVE US FAR CRY DINOSAURS ALREADY

I've been in an ongoing battle with Facebook over (what I consider) a very artfully hysterical "artistic" photograph of a naked man doing a handstand with his junk flopping around. They keep taking it down, and I keep re-uploading it. I'm determined.

Still waiting for a time-travelling Bishop (or Gambit? I forget.) to come back in time and assassinate Pence.

AND A SHINY NEW DONKEY FOR WHOMEVER BRINGS ME THE HEAD OF COLONEL MONTOYA.

That must have come later, because I distinctly remember them saying that he'd retired somewhere, and just sort of left it at that….

Christopher Evan Welch died before the premiere of Silicon Valley. His character, Peter Gregory, was eventually written out as having retired to an island somewhere.
