I thought the Kung fu one falls exactly into that realm of parody where it's that sort of 80s motivational power rock. I have wondered to what degree music literacy plays in for audience members though? Like the Hey West Covina piano man song has left me the coldest but I don't have much familiarity with those 70s or…

I wondered what was with the decision to spell out that the Man in Black was a good guy in the outside world the same episode where Ben Barnes' character at least wasn't as blatantly evil?

Ha, I had issues with that too but the closing tag helped explain if she's just so vivid in her imagination that it extends to that kind of thing and the cast of her life would need to cut back a bit. (Like pretty much every other tag I remember off the top of my head aside from the Sexy Getting Ready song rapper…

It legitimately resolved the question brought up by broom Darryl and the show's budget for me. (There have been people in musical numbers self-aware of the fact they're doing them but none of them have ever really acknowledge that they were within a show.)

If anything I dig this show the same way I like a number of those high concept vampire-style shows where they get to explore difficult things but in a candy coated heightened manner, unlike some series that try to go for darker wallowing in misery. Even if it seems like a lot of those also still have high concepts…

I got the impression Greg was over his issues with his mom even if he hasn't talked to her in ages.

I think it's since they're willing to let the characters be a bit goofier and are edging towards breaking the show's reality a little in an effort to cancel out how more emotionally raw or difficult they're getting?

They implied twice that he was willing to sleep with male hosts in the second episode even if they never did concretely establish very much.

I'be essentially only seen The Dead Set (that Big Brother with zombies show) and Philomena Cunk segments out of his work but from my understanding of Black Mirror the zombie show was essentially a miniseries version of a Black Mirror premise and was surprisingly heavy.

So the title this week works on at least two levels of the runaway host and Dolores overcoming her lack of weapon access but did anyone ever figure out what Chestnut meant last week?

I'm still about three seasons behind on GoT but this show has caught my interest sooner and I feel like they're being a bit more conscious with their choices when it comes to horrible but mostly inconsequential violence and some of the sexual content. (Other than weirdly evil bi Ben Barnes?)

If anything I kind of thought that Newton's sort of drawn to that idyllic life with a child rather than being a queen prostitute while Dolores killing a fly bodes a bit more ominous.

I've only ever seen him come out on top in one thing and it's weird feeling so much sympathy for someone that absurdly handsome yet apparently doomed in basically everything.

Do you avoid the trailers at the end or are they only on demand and not a part of the other airing? In any case they sort of give hints there and the fact they're willing to put so much potentially spoilery content sort of throws me off. I guess there are so many other characters to follow that it's not as huge a deal?

Well Dollhouse was a bit of a mess but they moved on that these assassin prostitutes were also not the endgame, and instead that was the Manchurian Candidate and wargame apocalypse.

Technically Into the Woods was only two years ago, so the fact she could get seven films in-between that, a book deal, and The Accountant is pretty impressive.

That daughter got the most screentime and it seemed like the show was pretty sympathetic to her, though I'm not sure if that's since the child that got most of the other screentime was effectively unbearable.

The love of her from Randall Park and audiences from that Netflix special made me check this out but her character wasn't all that around so I didn't get a great read on how she is as a performer and presumably not writing her own material.

I thought there was something poignant about the barrister/barista line— I grew up with family whose accents sort of work along the same lines, albeit from places where no one uses the word barrister and different ways of disappointing.

I still honestly think Lucas may have been going for a tragic clown figure arc where, after going through gungan puberty, he was going to emerge an easily manipulatable senator that then accidentally brought about the end of the republic.
