I wouldn’t say this one was bad, exactly, but it was definitely a season if not series low. All that time in desert added so very little, mostly Saul and Mike acting just like you’d assume they would, just like you’ve seen similar characters act in “stranded” episodes of other shows. And what was up with Mike’s “I’ve…

I could have done without the larger python plot, but “Why do people only want to talk about my snake, gah!” was a funny gag.

I care very little about killing of the mother. Yes, the actress was charming but ultimately the mother was always more of a plot device than a character, so no great loss. I hate Barney and Robin getting divorced. The show spent a lot of time getting me to invest in that relationship, and throwing it away because the…

Watched it again. In the establishing shot Nathan is not on his lap or knee; he is on the bench beside him. When Charlotte walks up it is less clear; Nathan has to kind of hop down to hug her but I couldn’t really tell whether he was supposed to be on the guy’s lap or just the bench.

How much of this applies to Lidl as well? I have access to both but the Lidl is closer.

I don’t remember Nathan sitting on the guy’s lap, but it’s possible I missed that.

I agree about the waking up part but they still chose to illustrate that waking up with violence, which I think was cheap. And I think we only know the guy was a creep because cinematic conventions (the music, the close ups, his inept attempts to cover) told us so. I believe that there are non creepy people who are…

Which was also kind of dumb. When Charlotte first showed up and saw Nathan petting the dog I didn’t get what the ominous music was about. It wasn’t until the guy started being all squirmy that I understood what they were trying to communicate. Yeah, he did put his hand on Nathan’s but even that didn’t seem completely…

I’m enjoying this season a lot for all the reasons Zack cites. Still, the scene in the park bugged me. I’ve never tried to do it myself, but I would venture that even if you could turn off all electronic surveillance it’s pretty hard to murder someone in the park in broad daylight without attracting unwanted…

I actually made and ate Babish’s version (with a few minor variations) this morning. I did the ciabatta yesterday; mine isn’t nearly as pretty as Babish’s but it tastes alright.

So, knowing about the golem body, I finally realized that the opening credits sequence has been telling us from the beginning how this was going to end.

Off topic, but I don’t know where else to post it: So did Salty finally get that mythical 1000000% tip that let her retire from the advice game for good? Or is she just trying not to rub our noses in restaurant questions while we’re all stuck at home?

I think the review are harsh but basically fair. I’m enjoying the show more than Zack, but everything he cites as a problem is pretty much legit. The story is being told very sloppily.

Pretty blah, but the final moment where Mitchell and Cam pulled the trigger on the adoption and house had a little bit of a punch.

It was definitely weird and at first the absence of an audience response was unnerving and really cut into the funny. But after a few minutes I kind of got into it and found myself laughing heartily over the silence. I wouldn’t suggest Oliver or other comedians keep the no audience format, but as an involuntary…

I got one for Christmas. I have found a number of uses for it but it is so damn big it’s a hassle to store and deal with.

So is Salty once a week now?

Yeah, but is it substantial in size?

New issue: The jumbotron thing is stupid. It means we can only see one item of (potential) interest.

I wish Chibnall (and to a lesser extent, other Doctor Who writers) understood that “Yes, and...” is not just for improv.
