Speaking of good actors in minor roles: Alysia Reiner always plays horrible scumbags, and I love the way she plays Lori’s agent. Mafia? Easy people to talk to.

Yes, he’s great - that’s Danny Sauli. I loved how disappointed he looked in the cold open when they don’t kill Marty.

I really liked this movie, but in the end it really left me unfulfilled because halfway through you know *exactly* where it’s going, and just does that beat-by-beat. It’s beautiful while doing so, but also indulges itself into having Haemi start out as a weird, interesting character into being primarily a plot device…

It took me a good while to get Frank Sobotka’s sympathetic persona out of my head, but man, does Bauer sell how scummy Bobby is.

Man, that Irene/Shay subplot is pretty creepy, right? Shay is clearly uncomfortable and is locked to Irene whether she wants it or not - clearly better than getting beat up, but it’s still a kind of emotional blackmail, even if Irene doesn’t realize it.

It’s a pretty weird thing to call other people creepy when you’re effectively calling it people’s own fault if they have to worry about getting shot. 

What the hell is this comment, and why is it voted so highly? Kotaku, you’re bizarre as shit. If your house, the one with your wife and child in it, gets targeted, it’s probably your fault? What’s wrong with you?

“Want a clean fuck?” - Don Draper

Yes, I was thinking that, too! Just needs a giant inflatable Lady Liberty right there.

“Man, it sucks to be Nacho” is a pretty good description of that character.

The cartel bits are fine when it focuses mostly on new characters - Michael Mando is fantastic as Nacho and his plight is affecting. I just wish his story tied more into Jimmy’s and Mike’s, and not Gus’s.

One thing that was really cool is that the conclusion of this seems to mean that Magica is back to her “regular” self as a common villain (with poof bombs!). She was properly scary throughout the series - in a series that didn’t do peril all that well, a great thing - but I always liked how DIY she was, making her own…

I... really would’ve liked the Donald voice change to be permanent. Maybe not to Don Cheadle (more stuntcasting?), but Donald’s a great character that kind of gets incomprehensible because he *needs* to have that throaty duck voice. It always feels like a waste.

Yyyeah. Manny, Gyro, and Little Helper really haven’t been around enough for us to care about any of them. I love Gyro in the comics, but in the show he’s been mostly an asshole and his assistants (bar Fenton) ditto.

So, Tetris?

Major props to Patrick Fabian tonight.

I’m honestly kind of baffled at these reactions. I love Star Trek. But that also means I want it to be good. This doesn’t sound remotely good, plus is just another jerky “remember THIS character?” type thing rather than its own beast.

I really hate how the show jokes with “Scrooge is immortal” or whatever. It doesn’t help that it’s not particularly funny, but it’s also an easy suspense of disbelief to make and acknowledging it makes it really awkward. It doesn’t help that Scrooge is old and they brought in his parents, for some reason?

This... why? I love TNG, but did anyone really want this? I’m sure we’ll have a parade of all the TNG actors too, who are all pretty old now. Marrying the dark-ish way Discovery played out with TNG is going to be very strange, though.

What? No, it doesn’t. Psychosomatic diseases are real diseases - they’re just “made up” in the sense that they’re not real physical reactions, and need psychological rather than physical treatment. They’re very real.
