I thought this episode cleared up a lot of stuff that seemed like poor writing earlier in the season. And without a renewal, this could have served as a decent series finale, ending as Eve wakes from her obsession a touch too late.

I think I actually like the recent prequel volume more than the original three. They all have great imagination and prose, but the originals have clumsier exposition—especially when the protagonist is just hiding in a closet listening to long conversation.

Yeah, I kept trying and failing to keep a consistent picture in my head of how those creatures looked.

As the only consistent source of laughs on the show, she has only herself to blame for its renewal.

The centaur’s static RealDoll expression is a bold choice--or, points to the animator’s 90s-era software experience.

If writing in my head (aka daydreaming) counted toward productivity, I’d have at least 179 unpublished manuscripts.

Oh, I didn’t relate to his on-air persona. I was the anxiety-ridden Slater who could barely speak in school—which explains why I also connect with Heather’s vision of adolescence as a nightmare to survive.

Pump Up the Volume and Heathers are the ones I relate to most.

It’s a shame they showed the archery lesson in trailers. As soon as I saw that, I knew it must be the opening of the movie—with his daughter’s dusting leading directly to Clint’s new haircut.

She also writes a lot of Upspeak fan fiction.

I guess Spielberg should have used profanity--and/or been Helen Mirren.

Fun game, but the fewer who can identify my desk in real life the better.

Disney has sued over stuff like this before.  And then been shamed into dropping cases.

Oh, it can. And I’m prepared for that to be the case.

Hope this doesn’t mean a comedic take on the character.

I thought the original Apocalypse finale in season five (partly done from the car’s perspective), was a perfect ending. So, I largely bailed after that. But the show continued to deliver great gimmick episodes, throughout—including their trip to the “real” world, the high school musical episode, and of course,…

I love her music, but it’s a love increasingly challenged by her public persona.

Anya Taylor-Joy already has a wild variety in her career. For something lesser-seen, I recommend The Miniaturist. It starts as a seemingly normal costume-drama BBC mini-series, but there’s much more to it.

Much of this is already covered in his book, Catching the Big Fish, and The Art Life documentary—also, in an array of interviews. For as much as Lynch gets hounded for not explaining anything, he has honestly been quite open about his process. My favorite description he’s given is how there’s a room containing a…

I don’t remember the first episodes being super political. They didn’t make me laugh much, though. Even now, there’s still a big entertainment divide between Colbert the person and Colbert the character. Maybe I just find it too hard to reconcile the guy’s razor sharp bullshit detector with his earnest Catholicism.
