Everyone's is shit compared to John Di Domenico.

He was great in The Stand. Which not too many people can honestly say.

There were already a few problems with the denouement of The Reichenbach Fall. Now, though, it's been retconned into a massive fakeout to set up… whatever that was. For whatever stupid reason. It would have been better to just leave Moriarty out of it if that was what they were going to do. The oversold flashback…

AFAIK Sherlock Holmes was Sherrinford Holmes in in the first drafts. That a third brother exists has been postulated based on alleged traditional roles of sons in landed families (which the Holmeses apparently are): The eldest son inherits the estate, or at least manages it, while the next son might enter public…

No doubt been remarked on many times, but I loved that the crazy cult was located somewhere in Red Hook. More people enter that place than leave it by the landward side, don't you know.

AFAIK it's one of those old-timey variants that linger in legal-speak because they were used when the laws in question were first written. Like how in certain contexts, motions aren't stopped, they're "estopped".

And Paul Eiding as well, even. Impressive. Also, Hayter's performance there gives me total reassurance that he wouldn't have been right for GZ/TPP (flees mob of raging fanboys).

Hustler have beaten you to the punch by quite some distance.

That's true, but the creators aren't confined by reality. Don Draper, for example, has a pretty interesting backstory, no? One which, moreover, was crafted with a specific narrative goal in mind. His backstory is expertly crafted to tie in with the overarching themes that the creators wanted to address. What does…

I may or may not watch the pilot, I'll see how I'm feeling. But I honestly can't see this being anything but absolute dross. The people in question haven't lived particularly interesting lives. Literally the biggest plot-point imaginable is a car-crash ~50 years after this is set. They're making a show about the royal…

"While getting tortured, that one Member Berry sounded like R2-D2 getting
shot in Luke’s X-Wing or spat out of the swamp in Dagobah."

I was about to reply and tell you that it wasn't the Waif, it was Her Off Peaky Blinders, but then I checked just to see if they weren't actually the same person, and it turns out I'm wrong; it wasn't Her Off Peaky Blinders, it was the Waif.

Well there either is or there isn't something after. If there is, I don't think it makes sense to suggest that whatever experiences that has been uploaded to SJ and thus been denied discovering that: I doubt the technology literally re-houses immortal souls.

The second twist was too predictable. It didn't make sense that the villain would have been in a love with a woman who was viciously shamed online, then snapped and started… viciously shaming people online. The episode tipped its hand there.

Even hotter take: the entire universe is a fundamentally meaningless place and Kelly was right to grab whatever happiness she could.

I've heard that the ubiquity of Google has in fact led to declines in recall. Not sure if I should chalk one up for the ancients, or regard it as further evidence that tech-paranoia is basically innate.

Maybe. What if they tell him "You're nuts dude, you live alone in a hovel" and he just hears "Well of course, and you deserve it. Thank you for your service"?

This was a bit of a whiff for me, personally. I think because it leans on this exposition-only late-stage intro of "Oh yeah we're all rocking eugenics now, Galton-style, baby".
