Well, I certainly do think the jury is still out on whether this can become a great series. As I detailed above, I am sympathetic to people who are not responding positively in whatever way to the show so far. I've had some issues during this season, while thinking the ending was dynamite...

Surprised about the lack of discussion on this show, which is grabbing awards. For those interested, and only if you've seen the whole season, a good video:

Also enjoying Fallout, which is a very trivial series compared to others mentioned, but I had great fun years ago with the massive open world video games of Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 that has been adapted here. The show captures the same 1950's Cold War, alternate universe the games invented, a...

Yes, a variety of people (many in the medical profession) have noted that The Pitt has been really the first truthful depiction of what an emergency room in America is really like. When you move out and up a level, it is also realistic about the problems with American medicine and all the...

Saw 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. I am a big-time hater of sequels, and have watched this whole set of 28 {insert time frame needed} movies because of the people involved, good reviews, and recommendations. This latest is good, but the subtle, surprisingly emotional performance of Ralph...

You can report the GoFundMe for supporting a murderer, and it might be taken down. Pass this along everwhere. CLICK HERE TO REPORT THE FUNDRAISER 1) Select “No” Under Do you know the fundraiser. 2) Under what best describes you select: “ I am an individual concerned by the fundraiser” 3)...

America is in the process of destroying itself. It will continue, and be justified, due to the return of Trump to the presidency and the immovable nature of his cult. From a good "two worlds" essay: Trump, in a Truth Social post, wrote, “I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place...

Saw the niche subject matter film Blue Moon, a biopic of sorts about lyricist Lorentz Hart. If you know musical theater, maybe more if you know early musical theater, you know of his skillful collaborations with composer Hammerstein. In the film we see how the latter kind of divorces the extra...

It's interesting, the extreme variance of what TV shows can do, from something as simple as possible (say The Brady Bunch) to something as complex as possible (like DEVS, or Dark, the German show from 2017-20). I loved both of those, the former staggeringly brilliant, but in no way are they for...

Case of horse out, too late to close the barn door. Before Helen died, she was joined to the hivemind, so it knew about the eggs right then, and given their goal to "fix it" with Carol, probably went after them as soon as possible. Carol only realized this in horror in the conversation at the...

I am highly sympathetic to your view (S1-7 was weak, as I wrote above), even though with the the next one, and the finale I really do like it. As I say, it is quite a bizarre notion for a TV show, and I guess this points back to the fact that Gilligan was massively inspired by Rod Serling's The...

I got the impression that when her expression changed to disturbed fear in the conversation with Zosia, that she realized they already got them. Never asked for permission, just like with the whole of humanity on day one.
