The evil judge makes me more able to forgive the legal no-nos than most shows like this do when they have a "main character is put on a jury" episode. "One Angry Veronica" is the worst episode of Veronica Mars; everything in that episode would have resulted in an immediate mistrial.

They did the same thing last season. But they did reduce the show from ten episodes in S1/S2 to eight episodes this season, which isn't a good sign. I have no idea what counts as doing well, ratings-wise, in 2024.

I've been enjoying the season, but the lower episode order is definitely felt. They've taken next week's episode off the schedule, so there's only one (double-length) episode left.

Victor Von Doom, but people don't believe that. I hope he's not a Tony variant.

Finally!

Does anyone know why Futon Critic is saying there are new episodes starting September 8th, but the new season isn't starting until the 29th? Are there three more episodes of S14 to air? Or is this just a mistake? http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/bobs-burgers/listings

I enjoyed lots of individual elements, and laughed a bunch, yet still felt underwhelmed for most of the movie. SPOILERS AHEAD: I enjoyed lots of individual elements, and laughed a bunch, yet still felt underwhelmed for most of the movie. Weird that for all the talk of this being Deadpool in the MCU, the <strong>only</strong> scene set in the actual Marvel Cinematic Universe is the Jon Favreau scene at the very start which was completely pointless and doesn't connect to anything at all in the movie. I expected it to end with Deadpool and friends being brought into the MCU, post-Secret Wars style, but nope. Everything's back how it was, just with Logan and Laura there too. Making the movie about Deadpool's love for his friends and wanting to save them would work better if his friends got literally anything to do in the movie. Aside from Peter, they're all basically just in that party scene and get maybe one-two lines each. We never even get a good look at the photo he's carrying around. I assume they spent all their cast budget on the FOX all-stars and couldn't afford to film anything with Karan Soni, Brianna Hildebrand, etc. I completely forgot that Shatterstar even existed. Also, this movie overdoes all the Peter stuff. I like Rob Delaney, and enjoyed the joke of the character in the last movie, but the "everybody loves Peter" bits in this didn't work for me at all, particularly when he kept showing up at the end. I did like seeing all the FOX folk again (or for the first time for Gambit). I just watched <em>Elektra</em> for the first time, and her appearance here helps me forgive how awful that movie is. Emma Corrin has fun as Cassandra Nova, up until the third act where they have nobody else to act against, is just doing CGI shit, and it sucks. I really hated the whole final setpiece, especially after the fun of the many Deadpool fight. Matthew Macfadyen didn't work for me as a villain either, he just seems like an asshole who's only there to provide exposition and move the plot along without any actual character.

Underrated moment from the episode: Hud's pointing at himself and going "Big audiobook guy!"

The Valkyrie clue could be Tessa Thompson. Not sure who for though. They're all relevant, though they're rarely very helpful.

Looks like they changed their mind slightly: one episode set for March 10th. Krapoplis is listed in the slot for the next three weeks after that though, so just a one-off. http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/krapopolis/listings/

Original air date: January 26, 2024

Bob's is in repeats until at least April: http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/bobs-burgers/listings 😩

Trailer for the new UK version, hosted by Graham Norton:

I'm guessing the 20-game series is a pilot. I wouldn't be surprised if it's picked up for a longer run if it's successful.
