I agree with the differences in Kovacs’ characterization and others on here also pointed it out.  I guess they could say they were going for a “James Bond” thing where each actor who takes over the character brings something new to the portrayal.  But Kovacs was not established enough to allow for a completely…

I agree with your analysis of Kinnaman vs. Mackie, and the gap between their portrayals of Kovach lies at the heart of what alienated a lot of potential watchers. If you didn’t like Kinnaman, you probably didn’t care for the show enough to tune in for season 2. If you liked Kinnaman, you probably tuned into season 2,…

I shared your assessment. Season 1 was undoubtedly stronger than Season 2, in almost every way. The narrative, the performances, and the production values were all better in season 1. How anyone could think that the story in season 2 was better is beyond me. Quell and that love story was not strong material. The…

crazy that anyone thinks season 2 was superior.

I binged season one in about three days. It took me three weeks to get through season two.

Land of homes free of the brave. 

I never cease to be amazed that many Republicans —who like to imagine themselves as tough, rugged, self-sufficient cowboys— are scared to death of literally everything from vegetarians to honey bees.

I dunno, I think if we re-elect him he will finally stop tweeting, listen to the adults in the room and truly become president.

Not sure this counts, but I finished a major project about Anne Bonny the pirate.  She began her career on August 22 1720, literally 300 years ago.  The video isn't out until November but the amount of pop culture depictions I watched astounds me.  A woman who has at best like four mentions in primary sources is…

Peter Schilling’s Major Tom is kind of a sequel to David Bowie’s Space Oddity.

the blogger just did what they had to do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Kind of getting old, the bratty pessimism they constantly throw out to the wind

Even now, the best that Jezebel can do is deliver snide, passive-aggressive “praise”. He “did what he needed to do” says it all.

The second he started this presidential nonsense, the outcome of which could impact millions upon millions, I stopped caring about the underlying causes of his decisions.

I hate people who confuse “apart” and “a part.”

Finally? This has been on youtube for 13 years, I imagine it was produced over 50 years ago.

A friend of mine’s son was a dancer in her Vegas show. She is honestly happy and fine and people need to just let her live. I will never understand why anyone - after knowing what she went through- want to believe Britney lives anything but a healthy life. With everything she has been through, the media obsession over…

Aw, I liked the whole thing. First DC movie I can say that about.

Jesus, I only skimmed the article and I feel dumber for reading even that much. This is some classic AV Club “An Overprivileged White Girl Who Is Nominally Attractive Said It, Therefore It Must be Art” crap.
