I had been skeptical of Fisher’s cryptic claims, and I do think what’s been aired out has great worth. The idea that Whedon has had a successful career that has been mired in his joy over objectifying and ruining the careers of women and POC, all while maintaining an image of being the archon of progressive…

i would sacrifice every character on The Walking Dead to zombies to get one more season of Whiskey Cavalier

Negan’s “Well, shit” after Maggie walks right by him in the pre-credits sequence was maybe the best possible way to reintroduce her to everything that’s gone down in her absence.

He should have called...

The Shining is a great movie with a great cast, but it’s a horrible adaptation - starting with the casting.

I interpreted that look as, “Nurse? Why not doctor??”

It also doesn’t completely burn her bridges with Whedon. Going into detail publically about something bad he did and how she had him reprimanded is pretty much ending that relationship - he’d be humiliated and angry, and he’d know that the whole incident would be relitigated in detail in the press if he ever worked…

I’m betting the experience she’s talking about is the thing that was widely reported some months ago: that she objected to the whole gag with Flash falling into Wonder Woman’s cleavage, and that that was resolved by having her stuntwoman perform that scene.

Having just watched it I think it works. By narrowing the focus to just two characters in the first episode and using flashbacks (Fran is just kind of there so far, so doesn’t count. I expect and hope she’ll get her “focus episode” later), they’ve given themselves a lot of freedom to hit the important beats of the…

Marvel’s Dour Hallway Punch-Up

My former property managers shorted me $500 on my deposit claiming we never paid the full amount, which is absolute horseshit. This was the first month of the pandemic, and I’m almost 100% certain they did it on purpose knowing full well there was nothing I could do until the courts opened.

“That is total bullshit! George R. R. Martin was supposed
to deliver The Winds of Winter to his publisher over two years ago.”

“Yes, let’s beam up.”

Hmmm, maybe you’re right. What about “Waiting for Picardot"?

Wow, that’s not a scenario I even contemplated and I could definitely see things going that way. The show is really toying with us around Kim’s fate, making us worry for her death or her disappearing via Ed Galbraith. Given those two fates are so obvious now I’m thinking  yours is more likely as a much bigger and…

I read a theory that Saul’s mention last week of a kid that was thrown out of his house for a joint and having to pick up his bail from his uncle could be a sly reference to Jesse Pinkman’s origins.

Saul doesn't meet Walt and Jesse until late 2008. This is the summer of 2004. 

If Rhea Seehorn doesn’t get an Emmy for her incredible work this season, we riot.

He talked on the after show about the Picard and Xavier characters he played. He basically said he was done with those characters. They were from a different time. People change. If you look at the Xavier he played in Logan, the way he played Picard starts to make sense. He has pretty much said that his Logan Xavier…

Wow, that explains the strong Logan vibe. It was an excellent film, but I’d sure like for PS to wear his TNG hat for season 2.
