"I wish they'd been a little more subtle" What show do you think you're watching?

I feel like they'll be getting more to do in the weeks to come as their assorted offsprings' troubles pile up around them.

It seemed like most people were predicting Audrey or Alice for the woman Albert was being sent for.

God, you think the kid got away from the exploding car last week to make us think that was a line the show wouldn't cross?

I'd have to pull up the episode and check, but the pages Hawk receives look like they'd be the wrong size and color.

I would argue that interesting storytelling does things that surprise the audience.

In addition to the shows you mentioned, they've got Narcos, One Day at a Time, Grace and Frankie, Master of None, and Dear White People focusing on minority groups, and Jessica Jones and Lady Dynamite focusing on mental illness. I'd say ten shows with diverse focus is a high enough number to constitute a boom.

I'm not saying it's not a good show. I'm just saying that, like. It's not greeeaaat at serving all these demographics? And the writing staff isn't, you know, reflective of the cast. Which is making it really damn easy for other shows to sprint ahead of it, even if most of them have more specific focuses. So if you're…

Man, this show just doesn't feel…vital, anymore, does it? In the wake of ABC and Netflix having separate diversity booms, we don't really need this show the way we did in 2013. If you want a show that prominently stars minority cast members—I'm not saying those are plentiful now, but OITNB is no longer an only or…

I assume that when they say "injustice" they mean "a harmful oversimplification of the issue of institutional violence against black people by making her death an accident and therefore letting white people off the hook (to say nothing of the fact that somehow the people doing the press couldn't find a single way to…

I don't think people who support Nazi ideologies are watching this and going "oh, yeah, now I feel good about myself." But it's possible that some white viewers are watching this and going "oh, well, Nazis are wacky comedy characters who could never possibly get a foothold anywhere but prison, guess I got nothing to…

So I ran the numbers and here's how long each cameo from an original Ghostbusters cast member lasts:

"He's lying" has a noun and a verb. What more do you want?

Counterpoint: the way his face lights up at the mere prospect of coffee.

I'm more confused than I was two hours ago and I love every minute of it.

I read that in a classic Gordon Cole voice.

The Bang Bang Bar having NO SMOKING signs prominently posted cracked me up.

I actually really liked that choice—Jacoby's dumb rambling about conspiracies dovetailing into Project Blue Book stuff.

A big thing this season has been just…letting older actors be old, y'know? There's no real use of make-up here, even on characters who you can argue shouldn't age (Mike, Laura, Leland.) The fact that 25 years have passed, visibly, for us as well as all of them, seems to be part of the exercise.

I mean. Apparently she wasn't allowed to read all the scripts, or even the entirety of scenes she was in outside her dialogue. It's possible she doesn't actually know either way how they're treating Audrey.
