Same here. That whole sequence was so beautiful and sad. Belters helping each other. The husband being the first guy who didn't get on after his wife and kid were on there was great. The actor sold it pretty well with resignation, not outrage and that really got to me.

Yeah, it's definitely a jump up in quality from Season 1 to Season 2. Season 1 was good sci fi, Season 2 is battling Crazy Ex Girlfriend for my favorite show on TV now.

I assumed future cucumbers were some sort of status symbol/delicacy, given that Mao's guy said "We have cucumbers" not "We have refreshments."

Yeah, the character looks more like actual strong people do, compared to people who are buffed up and/or starve themselves to look good on camera.

This was my analysis, too, based only on what I've seen on the show.

His teen movies never grew on me. Maybe you had to be a teen then, instead of slightly later and hearing about how great they were from Kevin Smith movies, but I don't see it. Pretty In Pink is best of a bad lot.

According to the relevant scripture you can't like both equally. You can appreciate both, but it's ultimately a binary choice and you have to pick one.

He also reads a great audiobook of A Christmas Carol.

I need to flesh out some Tarantinoish theory about Dave People and The American President People.

FYI, the James S.A. Coreys do a podcast for each episode where, they talked a bunch about dying in vacuum, among other thing. Lady who plays Drummer was also on this week.

I was legitimately shocked to learn that horrible theme song was provided by an actual pop star of any sort. I figured it was like the creator's teenage son or something.

Yeah, watched that knowing almost nothing about it and it was really funny. Very first season Buffy in terms of budget and visual effects, but I don't tend to be hung up on that stuff.

Yeah, I checked out during season one for similar reasons. The werewolf was the only interesting character and I was very, very bored by X of the week storytelling by that point. iZombie is pretty much the only show like that I enjoy and it has a bunch of interesting characters.

Eh, I really didn't like how the dealt the ending of season 2 of iZombie and just the murder of the week plotting can get stale and boring in a way VM didn't because she investigated different kinds of cases. Maybe being a well-made show isn't worth all the much to me.

I didn't like Season 2 as much. The season-long mystery wasn't as well-done as season 1 and that really dragged it down. Season 3 probably had the better idea with going with several shorter arcs, if they couldn't think of something as good as the first season. The movie is good and the two sequel novels are worth…

I'll admit I never knew that was a reference.

Been meaning to catch up on that. I watched the first two seasons and they were pretty good, but then I stopped having Syfy on my cable for awhile.

I know. It seems like a pretty plausible character development to think that Willow, especially as a recent shy, unpopular nerd in high school, becomes insanely powerful just a couple years later (like she always secretly dreamed) and can't handle it and goes too far. And her and Buffy try to work together, but it…

Dad and I watched Roman Holiday the last time I was with him in person. It's a great movie.

Amends is outright hated by a lot of people, but I'm always a fan of miraculous snow.
