I thought the first season was awesome. The second season was good but seemed to rely too much on appearance from other SW characters. By season 3 it became a sequel to a show I had no interest in.

Eurotrip is freaking hilarious and has probably one of the best surprise cameos in a movie ever. While Whedon is clearly a shit bag, isn't that the rule that all minor actors have to be with a parent when working on a movie or TV set? Christopher Mintz-Plasse was 17 when they filmed Superbad so his mom had to supervise his sex scene. It's like right in the SAG rules for minors that a parent who is not also working has to be able to be close enough to their kid to see and hear them at all times.

That looks pretty awesome. And it's interesting that the best Star Wars stuff for me at least in the last several years has been the sophisticated show made for adults (Andor) and the goofy fun show made for kids (Skeleton Crew). Everything else that has tried to land in the middle and appeal to everyone hasn't really worked.

Isn't Kill Bill almost entirely ripped off from old martial arts movies?

Not sure I like the idea of the restaurant. The B&B should already be keeping them massively busy. My parents had a small 2 bedroom b&b and between cooking and cleaning and just running the business it was a ton of work. And it's not like you can just sort of half ass being a chef in a fancy restaurant. Plus in my old job I used to do mechanical engineering design for buildings, and getting your services (water, sewer, electrical, gas) out to the barn would cost a fortune even with a business partner contractor. I'm no doctor but doesn't it make sense for the cholera ghosts to have sores like they do. I thought cholera was an infection in your intestines where you basically shit yourself until you die. I am surprised they haven't taken more advantage of the fact that Alberta can use Alexa. You can use it to make announcements and reminders in the Alexa voice so she could use it to talk to Jay. Plus you can use it for home automation to turn on lights or the TV.

For that matter she would probably massively resent her kid too, so it is like a massive lose-lose situation just so I guess mom can prove a point. Wouldn't it make more sense to test the patient, to see if they actually have any communicable diseases?

I didn't really mind it, although Miley introducing Brittany every time it was her turn to sing or do a guitar solo was annoying. It's wild to think that Sandler has managed to become one of the most liked people in Hollywood (he got Jack Nicholson to show up) and probably the most successful SNL cast members of all time (at least financially). If someone had told me that back in the 90's when I was watching Opera man or his crazy Halloween costumes I would never believe them. To be fair, if Jerry is doing a stand up special or something equivalent to a regular SNL episode he is going to be doing material that he has probably worked on for months and refined during many much smaller sets and appearance. It's not like he is going on national TV and doing jokes live that he only came up with earlier that week. Which is interesting since while they are not the same people they did have the same basic career trajectories and when Paris Hilton hosted there were some comments about how bad she was. What Tina Fey said about her was super mean.

I thought it was funny that they didn't even bother to try and show how coach hauled two crates out of the ground.

I don't know, my kids who are 11 and 14 and after watching SNL for a year or two Domingo is easily their favorites sketch. They know all the words to the songs. Not sure if it's the parody of pop songs or the pop stars doing bad singing but they love it. My 14 year old has told me that even her friends who don't watch SNL know that character. Maybe part of it too is that SNL doesn't have a lot of reoccurring characters at the moment. My kids probably know more Adam Sandler characters than they do current cast characters.

It was definitely weird how they jumped from cabin burning down when there was still a lot of snow to living in the teepee town with no real explanation. Hope they show a flashback in the flashback. Because even if they kept the cabin bonfire going you are still outside with no protection from wind or rain or snow. And even with their little huts how do they stay warm in them during cool spring or summer nights. Also I would love to know who made the ceremonial robes with matching leather hoods, and how.

But if he is doing bare knuckle, no padding fighting competitions would it even be possible to do matches say every weekend? Even in the course of the show, over all 6 seasons there were only 3 tournaments (4 official competitions if you count the S-T tryouts). Plus Robby has to train somewhere so why not at his dad's dojo?

This episode was a bit of a dud for me. The idea of a ghost fraternity didn't really work. Although alive Issac pretending to not be gay in front of Ben Franklin was funny. As for the whole liquor license speak easy thing, it was ok but the line about how they wasted all that valuable liquor was dumb. Because even if you didn't know it was valuable, why would you bring out all the bottles? Plus if you are trying to hide things from the liquor inspector, moving one bottle of whiskey through the house would be a lot quieter than moving a while case.

Some more follow up to Tory and Robby's story would have been interesting. Since it could have been really messy. I mean their pro deals seem to have been based on the "I love you" moment and them being the karate couple. Which would be a ton of pressure, especially for two people that started dating when they were maybe 16. Especially when you throw in that they are travelling the world and have a bunch of their own money. Especially since the whole endorsement package might not be as good if they were to break up. And in Robby's case if they did break up, the endorsement companies might be more likely to stick with the pretty blonde girl with the nickname and the championship over him.

But even if he is a pro fighter it's not like a pro basketball player or something where you are doing 80+ fights a year. Not to mention you he would have to train somewhere. Mostly I would have liked a scene where Robby is also working alongside his dad in some capacity. Or even maybe a sign or a poster or something at Cobra Kai that it is the home dojo of pro fighters Robby and Tory

Winning with a "sweep the leg" was pretty cool. Although I totally thought at one point that Johnny was going to headbutt Wolf. Only thing I thought was missing was Robby working next to his dad at Cobra Kai. I mean I doubt that karate equipment spokesmodel is a full time job. Also was there some sort of significance to showing the exact date that drunk Johnny went to see his mom's grave at the beginning. That was a good scene though and I like how the talk about second chances kind of worked with William Zabka's career. I liked Dimitri and Hawk patching things up. Plus it's undergrad. I doubt that MIT is teaching things that you can't learn anywhere else.

As much as I make fun of this show that ending was pretty cool. And Chozen saying the heat thing isn't magic was funny. And I didn't even mind the fake Myagi. And I really liked how Daniel realized that Johnny's life and what he needs was way different than his and was ok with him being Cobra Kai again. Yea. Like even one of those elbows to the face that Robby took would probably have been an instant concussion. Also if there were only 4 teams left by that point did the other teams really spend what must be thousands of dollars to fly to California to watch.

That was so over the top that it was funny. Even if you aren't arrested, the logical response should be "you can't use our facility". And a logical response to that should be, "That's fine, I can take my business elsewhere, and there are probably 100's of facilities just in California that I could use".

This show has gotten so crazy that it's probably good they aren't trying to draw it out much more. Like how did Kreese get a knife that killed a kid back? And why is Robby surprised that he doesn't have a ton of options after high school. He is a teen with a record and we never got much indication that he was into school. Plus it's not like trade school is a bad thing.

I feel like even without revealing the existence of the actual ghosts they should definitely be playing up the spooky history of the property. Like in just the past 100 years or so two different women were murdered, a woman was killed by a bear, a guy was shot with an arrow and another guy was somehow decapitated. And before that a bunch of people died of cholera. I bet people would be into that.

I was off yesterday so I watched it. My only real complaint was that in Canada the only place to watch it is the global TV app. And there were so many commercials, and I swear every break had the same commercials. It was interesting though although I wish when they were talking about some of the surprising events they talked more about the aftermath. Like the picture thing was a huge hit to Sinead O'Connor's career which they didn't really mention, and what happened to Ashlee Simpson is she still even a singer. Although I don't think I have ever seen that full Sinead performance so that was cool. I loved that whole beginning mash up though that was amazing how well it was edited together. There was only thing really missing though, especially when talking about music and comedy. The reason that Weird Al Yankovic was able to get permission to do Smells Like Nirvana was because he heard that the bad was going to be on SNL in 1992, and he called Victoria Jackson (who he knew) and asked if he could speak to Kurt. Kurt obviously said yes and felt that he had made it because Weird Al was parodying him.

As far as the health insurance think, is there anything stopping musical artists from setting up their own union and providing health insurance that way? I mean actors had that figured out over 90 years ago.

I guess I was a little impressed that they didn't say that the radiation from the reactor killer the cancer cells. On the plus side, I was impressed by how infrequently they tried to do the crossover thing to boost ratings. Compared to pretty much every other franchise spinoff kind of thing the level of restraint was impressive. I don't know why they didn't just recast the role. This show was way closer to being a soap opera than it was some kind of prestige drama, so recasting a main character wouldn't have been too out of line.

There was a lot of stupid in this episode but that really bugged me for some reason. Like the reactor has a control system that is so advanced that it can knows when it is going to meltdown and can count it down to the second. And it's also tied into the 911 computer system. But it doesn't have any kind of automatic shut-off? My iron has an automatic shut-off. Also dumb was Mateo's comment about how Nancy wanted to get an expensive lawyer. Because I am pretty sure with his story about stopping a nuclear meltdown and almost dying, his deportation would be all over the news or at least social media and every lawyer in Texas would be camping outside of the courthouse to take his case for free. And I am not sure if it was dumb or not but I thought the ceremony where Judd became captain and how he had to be sworn like the president just to get a promotion was pretty funny.

I heard about that and want to see it too. I mean as a kid who was a big fan, any suggestions of him being gay would have gone right over my head. But looking back now the Playhouse Christmas Special had k.d. Lang, Little Richard, Cher and Joan Rivers as guest stars. And regular episodes had Tito, the jacked, shirtless lifeguard. It couldn't have been more obvious. Although coming out as gay in the 80's would have probably been a career killer, especially once he started doing a kids show. I read somewhere once that he was also a heavy smoker and during the 80's he had someone on staff to make sure he was never smoking when kids were around or when there were photographers, because he thought that would hurt his image with the kids. I can imagine he would have felt the same about his sexuality.

For that matter if he needs Owen to live with him so he doesn't drink is that at all sustainable? I also wondered if when Grace called he actually told her how much he was struggling or if he kept a brave face for her. Because dealing with alcoholism seems like something you shouldn't hide from your partner, even if you are in recovery. Yea that seemed more like the magic of TV than an act of God. I used to be a lifeguard and I remember them telling us that at best CPR can delay death until the person gets actual medical attention. And although it was like 20 years ago surely CPR techniques haven't improved that much. Plus what was with just standing around once the guy came to. Surely they have oxygen tanks and other equipment in the house they could have brought to him. Also why was Judd wearing a bullet proof vest in the ammo building call? I don't think they ever commented on it and it seemed weird.
