  1. finished up dept q last night. it was excellent throughout and did a great job launching into (hopefully) multiple seasons. it's based on a book series and has already been made into several (danish?) movies, so they should have plenty of material. akram is the man.
  2. it's only an island if you look at it from the water.
  3. i started my full rewatch this weekend to coincide with s4 drop. season 1 sydney is fucking rough. the stuttering, the "um's", the entitlement when all she's done her whole career is fuck shit up. i fear it will only get worse, but she keeps winning awards. if she isn't like this in any other role, i suppose she made a choice and that it's great acting. i don't think she's earned the right as an actor to make bold choices. writers make choices. actors hit their mark and tell the truth.
  4. if you don’t like it, it’s on you.
  5. by "socialists", is she referring to the $80b california sent last year to fund a bunch of broke-ass red states? also for the record, that's the most violence i've seen out here in days, so i guess that's something.
  6. s2 is insanely good television. just watch it.
  7. watching a tv show without doing other shit or being on your phone is basically 2025's version of reading a book.
  8. i have a friend who worked on knots landing and she said he banged half the town. what town? knots landing!
  9. she was half the judds!
  10. i love movies as much as the next hg, but when my wife goes out of town, it’s different.
  11. i turned 11 in the summer of 1987, so yeah, kinda. i don't know why it was brought up in the studio, as there are many great 80's comedies that are better and more memorable. but summer school was great then and holds up just fine - plenty of 80's comedies hold up pretty well. i have no idea if an adult would like it now on a first view and it doesn't belong on a list with goodfellas. but it's not a bad movie nor a waste of anybody's time. and no, i don't watch ncis but i love harmon's mini-arc on west wing.
  12. the fuck you just say to me?
  13. the narrative should be that “the judges saved the economy”.
  14. so the tariffs get knocked down, which will pump up the stock market, which he will then take credit for. did i miss anything?
  15. there is no present or future, only the past, happening over and over again, now.
  16. i would be all over a prequel that showed gilead's rise to power.
  17. we started it, and after one episode i said i was out, but the wife kept watching. by the end of ep2, it was growing on me, and then episodes 3 and 4 were pretty awesome. i didn't think there was much of a twist, so i wouldn't watch or not watch based on that. they finished pretty strong and kept the dark comedy coming in some fun ways. lots of fun characters and the tone change saved the show. i think it's worth a watch, if only because the cast is stacked.
  18. my main gripe about s3 was about the narrative momentum. s2 saw richie and others take positive steps to fix shit going on in their lives/their attitude. s3 all of a sudden they're back to constant yelling and screaming over each other and lack of professionalism. the lack of growth we saw in s3 almost makes me think the magic we saw in s2 was fake. and that was a significant bummer. but yeah, cena was not it.
