These are the crazy years.

Major Props for The Rockford Files such a great show and really a major influence on so many other great shows.

Filler episodes are important because they focus on character development and they give a break from the main plot.

Yeah I’m totally in agreement with this I need breathing episodes to care about characters. Day in the life episodes and bottle episodes help viewers connect emotionally with the characters. Too many shows these days expect viewers care about the central character just because they are the ones getting screen time.

I mean right it’s weird and not what I would do. But you know that the person who did it was in love with idea and it’s nice to see that kind of passion.

I loved TLOU and was totally involved in the storytelling. I’ve never been so emotionally attached to the characters in a game as I was with Joel and Ellie. The real strength was how the writers used the video game’s abilities to change your POV character to really drag you into the story. Right from the tutorial where you start off as Joel’s daughter and by becoming her at the start the twist at the end of the tutorial really hits harder then you expect because you’ve been her. By the end of the game by playing as both characters you really become invested in their relationship and attached they are which makes the roaring rampage of revenge at the end in the hospital somehow totally expected right up to the shoot out in surgery. I mean I was so invested in the relationship that my hands were shaking and I’m ashamed to admit that I shoot the nurses as well.

Oh well that makes it all ok then!

It’s the grape?!?! What the fuck!?! I get the dinner/dessert pizza with a whole chicken but why the one grape!?!

Aww that’s no fun.

I mean technically wasn’t she already in the hospital for the MRI?

As a person with an interest in the history of movies I got throw in The Big Chill. It was the OG film soundtrack, I’m pretty sure it was the first soundtrack to hit the billboard top 10 albums in a time when that meant something and is full of ‘50s & ‘60s bangers.

A Man on the Inside is much more of a character and story based comedy then Shure’s previous work. It’s a lot less joke dense then The Good Place which was in turn less dense Parks and Rec. I mean I’d expect a comedy about grief, loss, and regaining a purpose to go at a slower pace and I found it lovely and clever, but it definitely not a “Joke Factory”. Your Mileage and all that but I got through the whole series in a day because each episode was sweet and cute, not because I couldn’t stop laughing.

I really enjoyed this season every step felt earned and the twist felt obvious in hindsight. I didn’t expect it at all but that was because of didn’t expect a production to do that not because it was an ass pull or anything.

I’m just really interested in where the story goes from here. I just don’t think the c-suite guys are going to let them do a story about Eddie Redmayne hunting billionaires after the real world news.

Yeah Z Nation is a romp! I don’t what they were smoking in the writer’s room but it was crazy and fun.

I think I’d like to subscribe to your newsletter. Of the ones I’ve seen I totally agree with you:

Creature Commandos - An excellent show Very James Gunn but in my world that’s a complement. 1x03 really kicks it up a notch. GI robot is one of my new favourite characters “Oh Nazis” made me smile.

Lioness S2 - Total tripe, some of the worst writing (honestly if you told me Donald Trump had done punch up on it I’d believe you) but to be honest I’d watch Zoey and Nicole read the fucking phone book, so I’ll probably check back in if there’s a season 3.

The Diplomat - yeah good that’s about where I’d put it too. Not great but very good.

Arkane - I don’t know? it’s good but god damn it’s bleak. It’s a hard slog to watch so far. But maybe there’s hope in the end?

I only watched once and the only thing that sticks out in my memory is Remy Malik’s performance but he was amazing.

I didn’t like the shade thrown at Moon Knight, but aside from that I agree. It really highlights what a Christmas Movie Hawkeye was and one of the things Marvel does best is when it crosses superhero movies with another genre.

One of the coolest things I’ve ever heard about Office Space is that Mike Judge had a alternate ending where when we check in at Peter at the end of the movie and his new construction boss is just another Lumburg. Which really hit home with the fact that it’s not the office jobs that sucks, all jobs suck.

You know most people don’t need two comments to up vote “Office Space”

Yeah his buddies from DOD’s PR and from the NSA. /s Yeah I’d believe that the whole novel really reminded me of a YouTube of some war games.
