And it is ok that people enjoy fluffy stuff. The world is going to shit so let people have some empty calories fun stuff not everything had to be Emmy winning health food. ( mixing metaphors intentionally)

But almost four years and three very short seasons in, Bridgerton seems to have lost its shine. It makes you wonder, was Bridgerton ever actually good?

At this point I do not care how lusty or fantastic is or is not. It is light and fun and NEW content. It is not old tv shows or movies from previous decades that I have already seen. Hell for a show to get to season 3 in Netflix land without being canceled is something.

His and Ryan Gosling’s recent tonsorial moves indicate that 2024 is to men’s hair what 1980 was to pop music: Nobody knows what the hell they’re supposed to be doing.

What a bizarre critique. The special was funny;  like, really fucking funny. He revealed as much as he needed to in order to make the jokes work. Not every special needs to be doing some sort of Hannah Gadsby style confession.

The end to Matt Smith’s first season was him being brought back to life because Amy Pond remembered him existing. Even ignoring the 50 year history, the recent Who has mixed fantasy all the time. 

“Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey...stuff” is the exact level of science I need from the show,

Thank you. The idea that this show (which I love) has ever qualified as hard SF in any sense is just weird.

“shift from pure sci-fi to fantasy”? Doctor Who has been squarely in the fantasy camp for the vast majority of it airtime.  

Yeah. Someone needs to ask people like him... can you give an example of being nice that is just “too much” for you to stomach?

I’ve never wished more that Graham Chapman was still alive. He absolutely would have been able to explain to these other guys the difference between “mindless good taste” as Cleese described at his funeral and just common decency.

Every right-wing blowhard says some variation of ‘If someone can say they’re a gender, then I’m x’ and think it’s the most mind-blowing, Voltairian, definitive takedown of modern gender ideas and the greatest piece of satire that the world has ever seen, when instead it merely demonstrates why there aren’t more…

There’s so much I really don’t understand, like: how the impeccable idea of ‘Let’s all be kind to people’ has been developed in some cases ad absurdum,”

I hope Michael Palin outlives them all.

I need more context about the Hitler impersonator. Was it someone lampooning Hitler, or doing a loving tribute to Hitler?

Is Gina Carano really just three children in a trench coat? Did Gina Carano eat her twin in the womb? Did she eat them when she was 15? Is she a good actor?

Heck, people keep taking Trump’s cases, and he is notorious for stiffing everybody on payments.

The idea that anyone would take her case at all is mystifying.

Musk is signing those checks, so cashing them for a neverending session of easy to litigate losses makes sense to me.

The idea that anyone would take her case at all is mystifying. Everything I’ve read about the Mandalorian production said she wouldn’t stop spouting her shitty takes even on the job, and everyone was sick of her hateful nonsense. Carano willing turned herself into a poison pill and now cries that no one wants her…
