I miss Spoiler Spaces. There are a lot of films that my only remote interest is knowing the twist.

So there is a point where the fries are so bad that you would throw them away instead of finishing? You and I are very different people.

For professional reasons it’s Stand and Deliver. Not counting that, I’m pretty sure it’s Real Genius.

Unsurprisingly, an episode that went all in on Gina Linetti is one of the worst Brooklyn Nine-Nine has ever done. Glad to see her go.

If next season is really going to be the last, I could get behind a time jump, though it would mean that Joe and Lily would have to be recast, and I’m not sure that the 20something cast could really pull off 30something. Still, it’s a possibility.

Wait, if Anson Mount is in this does that mean there’s no hope for a second season of Marvel’s Inhumans?

How was this a blind taste test? You at least were involved in the preparation of the four varieties, and it seems the children were as well. Plus the pastas all have different shapes; the shells, at least would be instantly recognizable. Not blind. Words mean things.

I disagree that we’ve seen all that much growth from Haley for this episode to squander. Dylan, yes, but not Haley. At best we’ve seen her be vaguely competent at her job at NotGoop.

Sorry, Finn Wolfhard is objectively the best name ever.

*Touch*

For the most part I really enjoyed the revised conventions of this season. But I’m not sure we needed such a clean break. I’d really like to see Jodie’s Doctor and her “fam” folded into some bigger stories that interact more with the show’s 50+ years of history. And while I recognize that the historicals were…

Off the top of my head, Degrassi, Parenthood, Everwood, Jack and Bobby, Bojack Horseman. It’s not that rare, though except for Bojack the characters in question in all those shows were high school aged teens.

My take:

What’s the point of doing these single sketch reviews on top of the full SNL review (which already includes clips)? I mean, I get that once and while you get a “Haunted Elevator ft. David S. Pumpkins” that is funny or controversial or zeitgeisty enough to warrant special mention, but “Khal Drogo’s Ghost Dojo”, while…

I loved the elf on the shelf sketch. It had a simple premise, but there was a specificity to the writing and performances that made it work like gangbusters. If there were a Highlights magazine for SNL writers, tonight’s Scrooge Extra versus Elf on the Shelf would make a fine edition of Goofus and Gallant.

Do we have to complain every week about WU not doing enough Trump jokes? Yes, every week there are ridiculous/awful things they gloss over or don’t mention at all. Every week there are enough ridiculous/awful things to give them material for the entire 12 minute segment, with plenty to spare. They want to do other…

Eh. I hate to condone heckling,  but this seems like a circumstance where it is reasonable. But can we can it with this hero business? She has a reasonable opinion about CK, she expressed in a reasonable (and kind of funny) way given who he is, and some people didn’t like it while other people did. Why is this a big…

If I found out Santa was real I think he’d be good for a solid afternoon of conversation, tops. I mean, I take your point - there was more to the Doctor’s relationship to the Solitract than I’m giving them credit for, but it was all “tell don’t show”. If other people bought into more than I did that’s fine, but it…

I liked this one, though I wouldn’t remotely consider it the season’s best (that would be “The Tsuranga Conundrum”). But the ending didn’t work for me, and not because of the frog. I can believe that the Doctor would sacrifice herself for her friends. And I can believe that she would feel genuine compassion for the…

So now we’re complaining that SNL didn’t go after Melania’s Christmas tress hard enough? This is the thing you’re concerned about the Trump administration getting away with?
