Might be worth it just to watch Hook and Sumner fight over who gets to take it on tour.

That is incorrect.

I'm not really sure how one would properly review what was essentially a 3.5 hour clip show.

I also just read a novella with this premise: We Are All Completely Fine by Darryl Gregory. It's not bad, the support group worked as a framing device for a sort of anthology of sometimes loosely interconnected horror stories.

Ok, here's my theory about this episode. The random guy who pops up at the end is actually Jacob Shaw, not the scary dude who has been chasing them around. He has been trapped in the mirror dimension without being able to get out, and the entire episode is all an elaborate ruse that he's orchestrated in order to bring…

If you ever get a hankering to re-read the series, I highly recommend the fan-edited version A Ball of Beasts, which combines the last two books into one extra-long novel. It smooths out the pacing considerably, and makes palatable a lot of the more annoying stuff from the last two books, such as Tyrion's constant…

it’s an interesting nugget in this whole mess all the same.

I'd actually love to see that show, maybe they can bring in Ken Loach to direct it. In my memory, at least, that whole sequence takes up like three graphic novels worth of comics in that early Delano period.

High Maintenance is goddamn amazing and everyone should watch it. It's like the Louie version of Broad City - less slapstick, more dramedy, but still focused on kind of shaggy-dog character pieces. You can watch about 80% of it for free, only the last few episodes are paywalled. If it isn't picked up by one TV channel…

What's a CD?

I agree. The cast is still doing a good job but the writing has fallen off a lot, and those Ray Wise bits are becoming like one of those awful SNL recurring sketches that won't die.

I thought that he does realize it - recall that everyone talks about how it's his final mission, for example.

Well, in the bar Hawke does know who the Unmarried Mother author is, he's specifically come back to 1970 in order to bring 1970s himself back to 1950 to meet female 1950s himself. But Hawke does initially pretend that he doesn't know the 1970s version, in order to get him talking (and fill in the audience on the story…

Could you elaborate on that? Which part of the ending?

Well, they do add a little exposition dump towards the end where Robertson talks a bit about needing to have an agent who is free from the bureaucracy of the time police (whatever that is, they don't really define it). And they also talk a lot about how having the Fizzle bomber as an opponent makes them a lot more…

Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.

Co-starring Sascha Baron Cohen as the prophet Mohammed!

Yeah, I think the ending is pretty perfect thematically, in part because it is sort of an anticlimax. Like, the anticlimax is sort of the point of what the movie is trying to say. But I can see how that might be less satisfying if you're expecting a more traditional horror-movie ending.

I saw a preview of it at the NY MOMA, personally. The filmmakers were on hand for a Q&A and were very engaging. Jennifer Kent in particular impressed me as someone with a long-term love of horror movies (and good taste in them to boot).
