Nerddom’s tendency toward encyclopedic accumulation of narrative and commerce’s tendency toward making money regardless of artistic virtue has created a real “more is more” pop culture landscape for the last generation of consumers. I’d like to see a shift in the other direction and just let some lovely things be.

The ambiguity of the ending—both factual and moral—is perfect. There’s no way to do a S2 without opening the box and seeing whether the cat is dead or alive, and the very act of doing that would diminish this ending, no matter which way it turned out.

So, unless they have a VERY good idea for S2, they should resist…

It seems to me that this story said all the things it wanted to say, even if they weren’t all the things we wanted to know. I would only want a second season if the writers’ room believes they have something to say that would make the whole endeavor worthwhile.

HBO shouldn’t try to force a second season, but if the creators think they have The Right Idea for a second season, fuck yeah. Given this first season (which didn’t sound like a good idea when it was first announced) I’m willing to trust the creatives if they announce they have a fresh 8-10 episode idea to explore.

I’d say quitting social media and walking away shows more strength than most of us have.

I get what it was made, but part of what makes cats work(ish) on the stage is that there is a suspension of disbelief. Yes, that is a man in a fur coat, but you act like he’s a cat because that’s what you do in a theater. It’s not perfect, you work with what you got. A great example of that is the Spongebob music,…

Garbage deserves more recognition. Version 2.0 is fantastic from start to finish.

I’ve noticed this in your reviews all season and have been quiet long enough: her name is Gwart, not Qwart.

The real change is the friends she made along the way...

Gwart, not Qwart. This was driving me crazy. ;)

Gwart. The character’s name is Gwart. 

It should stick to sports.

“Execs just have to exhume every corpse out there, huh?”

The good news is... maybe they won’t screw up Dinosaurs...

The fact that this revival is running on Spectrum -- that original network NBC essentially said, “Hey, thanks but no” -- should serve as a testament to just how widely unwanted it is.

Every corpse except the ones people would actually like to see reanimated *sob*

Oh, no. Who was asking for this?

This episode was a good example of what makes this show tolerable (and thus, allows it to be great). There is never any attempt to sell the viewer as to why Phillip is right, and why the newspaper is wrong. We don’t leave the episode thinking the Royal family deserves a yacht, and we don’t leave thinking that Phillip…

This is the problem with Hollywood’s current approach to many big budget films for women...

Was Charlie’s Angels ever really for women though? I thought the whole point was that it was super male gazey. (This is a genuine question; I’m too young to have seen the show.)
