Trial of a Time Lord, if you're looking for a genuine answer.
Yaron's whole deal (outside the sex stuff) kinda gets boiled down to no one being able to understand what he's saying this season, which is kind of rough. Yeah, Yaron's accent is funny, but the way he constantly plays up his own exoticism (or at least doesn't stop everyone else from doing it) was a real gem in First…
I feel like casually referring to the franchise as "Wet Hot" has gotta be pretty common, the actual title being a mouthful and all.
I think, like with the rest of the season, the escalation works well. We go from rampant plot holes, to serendipitous happy endings, to the acknowledgment that all this nonsense is nonsense, to the final nail in the coffin—yes, Mitch is just a guy, no, none of this happened the way we saw it (or possibly at all).
I mean, Laverne Cox was in the room on this, she might've said something if she thought Soloway was off base. And it's not like there's no trans people in my life who don't think Pat (or Buffalo Bill, for that matter) was kinda awful.
Donna and Yaron are very much characters you can only really appreciate by having actually gone to a Jewish sleepaway camp.
I thought the ending was perfect. More than the other two, Ten Years Later plays up just how fundamentally broken this world is and the sheer impossibility of it being anything other than a work of fiction, and it pays off phenomenally in episode eight.
Pairing Victor off with Yaron and Donna was brilliant. Victor losing his virginity isn't inherently funny, it has to go fantastically wrong somewhere, and I can think of no greater weirdos than those two to make it happen. No matter how much Victor has his expectations adjusted, no matter how much he learns about sex,…
Weird how people suddenly think the Pat sketches were funny now that they know they upset a minority group.
For what it's worth, the real Milne wrote a fairly healthy mix of lighthearted and serious material after the Pooh books came out.
Not being familiar with Sullivan, I'd be genuinely interested to hear you elaborate on this point.
As for your later added "Also, is Pooh as an anti-war story an actual thing?", I suspect the film will posit that the writing of Milne's Peace With Honour overlapped with the writing of his Pooh material, and that the two fed into each other.
I did search for shell shock, for what that's worth. Still nothing.
A quick search for information on Milne's personal life doesn't seem to suggest he had PTSD at all, beyond the general sort of "Winnie the Pooh is about mental health" clickbait we've seen a thousand times now.
I…
Why did Brian Jones die at AA Milne's house?
I haven't watched Nickelodeon in forever but it must be in pretty dire straits if it's prompting Catscratch apologia.
I'm unclear of the purpose of telling someone with David Willis artwork for his profile pic that you think David Willis' current comic is "pure awfulness".
