As someone who quite liked but didn’t love season 3, this feels like the right move.

It takes some balls to end a series on top, recent television history is filled with programs that stretched out for entirely too long. Props to Jesse Armstrong, so many showrunners have diluted their vision to appease networks or viewers to the detriment of their series. Looking forward to what will no doubt be a…
So it’s an HBO show about a bunch of people fighting over a throne, but it’s actually going to end before it gets terrible? What a novel approach.
I kind of feel the opposite. Succession to me has always had an expiration date of about 4 seasons, 5 max. Through three seasons now, the Roy children have enacted a sort of neoliberal Waiting for Godot, with Logan as the man behind the curtain (to mix my literary metaphors). To me, the whole point is the waiting, the…
Sad to send it end because I love this show but at the same time, four seasons is a good run and it will be great to see it go out on a high rather than limp to an end.
Andor was received the way it was primarily because of the novelty of getting that far away from the Skywalkers and other familiar elements of the Star Wars universe. But it still exists in dialogue with that universe. Most Star Wars content needs to involve space battles and lightsaber battles in order to create…
Nope. Andor makes it kinda tough to love LAZY Star Wars shows, like Boba Fett or Obi-Wan.
Pretty sure nobody forced you to watch any of that, if they did you probably should have called the cops. I skipped watching both Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith in the theater, I have a feeling you could have too.
Can Mandor ride a rancor on Endor?
Yeah, she could have studied the hair’s DNA and made their own vaccine!
I thought it was fine, but I don’t love the panic attacks. It’s such a tv trope. You just KNOW it’s gonna conveniently factor in again, and the most inopportune moment.
Joel’s answer to Ellie was mostly correct though, when she asked him if that’s how things were like in the before times: “No, the country was too big.”
Soviet and Communist aren’t synonyms by a long shot.
Black don't crack.
Tommy spelt it out quite well: He’s becoming a father and he’s afraid to die.
Joel convincing Ellie everybody loved building contractors pre-outbreak was kind of my biggest laugh of the episode.
This show has really grown on me, and I feel like we’ve never seen Harrison Ford in such a delightful fucking role. He’s SMALL in the best possible way.
It totally was, without WandaVision, her last appearance was at the funeral scene in Endgame where she and Hawkeye mourn Black Widow and Vision by the lake at Stark’s funeral. And at that appearance, she seems pretty okay (look I know people can hold it together on the exterior while hurting inside, I’m just saying…
I gotta imagine it’s really awkward. Like that episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry does the Seinfeld reunion special and every scene with Michael Richards is charged with intense discomfort.
The visuals outshine the story. The story gets pushed aside to set up this new Marvel world. And this new Marvel world becomes the focal point while the main characters fade into the background.
