I know it’s just a show and I should really just relax, but a line of dialog from Mitch or Cam about who was caring for their preteen daughter would not have gone amiss.

I tried doing butter chicken in the Instant Pot using the recipe that was given here a while back and found the results very disappointing. The sauce was thin and not very flavorful and the chicken kind of just disintegrated.

I wish BoJack hadn’t relapsed and crashed. They have done that so many times already, and I would have preferred a final eight episodes that were just about the struggle of staying better even after realizing that sobriety didn’t fix everything. But there was nothing wrong with this ending*, and it was done as well as…

Complete opposite reaction. Worst of the season so far. Nothing bad, just very little that wasn’t boring and rote. I’ll give you that made Edison an interestingly nuanced character. But Višnjić’s Tesla was utterly flavorless. I can appreciate the choice not to go all in on foreign guy and mad scientist tics, but the…

These kinds of questions always get these kinds of reactions and they’re not wrong; it is irrational to care about what a total stranger with very little power over you thinks.

So we get Jay bonding with Joe and (indirectly) Claire and Mitch and a grandpa suddenly dying. I’m not sure if they are warning us that they are going to end with Jay kicking it or (having fulfilled their dead old man quotient) reassuring us they won’t, but the point of this was definitely to forefront Jay’s mortality.

It may be a stretch to say he has absolutely no qualms, but I agree that Luke’s emerging bisexuality is a thing and that they should absolutely do something with it.

The games are fun, but I wish they would go the rest of the way with the web-based controllers idea and make the server/host web-based as well. It would be nice to run the game off of a Raspberry Pi.

Back in the days of the original NES I had asked for a bunch of running/jumping/climbing/shooting type games and got Anticipation (basically Pictionary) instead.

Chappelle lighting a cigarette was “hilariously transgressive”? I don’t think either one of those words means what you think it means.

If we can have an economy that is equally or productive with fewer hours of human labor that’s a good thing. We just need to figure out new/better social and economic structures for sharing in that productivity. Just because a person’s labor has become less valuable it doesn’t mean the person has.

The journey was great. I was just a little disappointed by the ending. I know this is a very comic book guy thing to say and HBO’s Watchmen is a new story in a new medium and all that, but Dr. Manhattan being killed that easily (or at all, really) feels like a cheat. If you’re going to have a bunch of characters…

Maybe. But to me these jokes don’t feel so much cynical as defensive, a response to anxiety about something bad that might (continue to) happen, like making cancer jokes while you’re waiting to hear from the oncologist.

I don’t want to get into all of it, but worrying that Trump will be reelected in 2020 and wondering how a near-certain impeachment “exoneration” in the Senate might contribute to that is not the same as being a MAGA supporter or middle of the road milquetoast.

Most of the time I would argue that Mitch and Cam are considerably worse than Manny, but he really earned the top spot this week.

Since the whole point of spending $250 on a shot of scotch is telling people that you spent $250 on a shot of scotch, go ahead and treat yourself and truthfully tell people that you spent $300 on a shot of scotch.

Yes, he did say involuntarily teleport. I know the tachyons didn’t kill him, but they did “take him out”, at least temporarily, at least seemingly. And that’s the part I find implausible.

They tried their darndest but they couldn’t quite convince me that Dr. Manhattan getting taken out that easily is remotely plausible. The rest of the episode was great though.

Different strokes.

“NATO high school cafeteria” isn’t a brilliant sketch premise, but it was still more interesting than a rote reenactment of the incident or a press conference about it. Cold opens are almost always going to be about low hanging political fruit, but I wish they would try to find more varied structures in which to make…
