It seems like just a few tweaks to how they presented the insurance thing would have made it a lot less dumb. I mean, just don't call it experimental treatment and you basically have the set up of Breaking Bad.

I imagine it is either who payed off the brothers for the hit or possibly the ADA. I can't imagine Burger would send someone to track Della. Because while her being outed and some bullshit charge for indecency (or whatever else was used to harass LGBTQ people back in the day) it would be mutually assured destruction since him being outed would be way worse. Maybe or maybe its well known where a lot of the people in the shanty town came from. And better to hire someone from there you have no connection to than someone from your own community. Leslie Knope was a councilwoman, and wasn't corrupt. Does that count? I am pretty sure trying to rescue his little sister explains how the one brother got his scars.

Even my kids noticed that and said he should have swapped mics with the backup singers. As for the 5 timers club it does seem kind of played out. Although I did like the joke about how Tom Hanks invented it because he didn't want to do a monologue. Also Conan makes a way better jacket boy.

That is what I keep thinking of. This isn't the 70's anymore where a rock star can have an ongoing relationship with a 14 year old and no one will care. If a famous person wants to hook up with people at parties or after shows who cares. But it seems like having an insane level of due diligence to make sure your partner is a legal adult and that they are giving their consent seems like a no brainer.

The only thing I remember from reading the Ultimates comics was that Hank Pym was clearly abusive to Janet, not in an ambiguous way the had meant for it to be in the regular comics continuity. And that Wanda and Pietro had an incestous relationship. Seems like those storylines were way more disrespectful to the source material than anything in the movies. Also unfortunately a lot of people would probably think that a Black, Puerto Rican Spider man would also be disrespectful.

With all the racism that is getting thrown around and seems to be accepted, it seems that Perry has to go way farther than just seed doubt. Since it seems like a lot of people would be happy with the brothers getting convicted and getting a death sentence just because they are "Mexican". I think at best his tests prove that this type of gun made these marks. They aren't as specific as the microscopic examination that proves an exact gun made the marks on a bullet. So kind of circumstantial I guess. So far, 3 episodes in this is the one thing that is bugging me. Since they haven't really done anything to explain why Della would blow up her relationship with Hazel. Because from what I can remember from watching season 1 they were really good together. Plus I can't imagine that finding a stable same sex partner would be easy in the 1930's. Plus on a completely shallow note, Molly Ephaim is really attractive. The only thing that kind of bugs me a bit is the talk of the rich guy trying to get LA an MLB team. Because I can't imagine how that would work decades before jet airliners were invented.

It freaks me out how good adult writers nailed how people at that age talk. I have 2 girls (one teen and one almost teen) and even they call everyone (even each other) "bro". Also Stephanie Beatriz was awesome in this episode. She didn't get to do a lot of emotional stuff in 99 but it's clearly not because she couldn't.

And one eye! I am glad I came here since I didn't pick up on that. I just figured her and her friend were more mature. And that Wim was also really immature compared to others his age. With all the bullshit that we have seen that has gone on in the galaxy since Star Wars started, not sure I can blame a planet for isolating themselves. I really like this show though. It's fun with new characters and what seems like an all new story. I also liked the woman from the brothel who helped the girls. And it was funny that she had to ask them if they were kids. Since in Star Wars who the hell knows.

But what is the "source material"? This isn't a movie based off of a single novel. It's over 80 years of comics continuity with countless retcons and a bunch of alternate universes. So if someone uses a story from the 90's is that faithful? Lots of the Avengers stuff is based on the Ultimate storyline, which itself isn't faithful to the original Avengers. Wolverine, Storm anf Nightcrawler aren't original X-Men so is that paying respect to the source material. What if for the next Spiderman movie they decided he would be friends with Iceman and Firestar. Not the source material but Spiderman and his Amazing Friends is pretty classic for a lot of people my age. Actually now that I think about it for the next Spiderman movie I really hope that Peter has to rent out rooms in Aunt May's apartment just to help make ends meet while he goes to college. And he rents to two other college students named Bobby and Angelica.

Also if you hire adults you don't have to worry about them actually doing school work or having tutors or that sort of thing.

I don't think that comic book fans are one homogeneous group that all share the same opinions. If they did it would be way easier to write comics since there would be no debate among fans.

Wow I wouldn't have guessed that BP3 was a priority.

I am not a big enough Star Wars fab to go back and watch all those animated series. Especially because the animation looks weird to me (and not in a good way). But if people are going to get upset about the sequel trilogy doing the nostalgia play, then the Filoni shows seem way worse. After Mando season 1 they just became a sequel to something I will never watch. And in some cases an average (Ahsoka) or bad show (Boba Fett) isn't really going to convince me to watch more of a similar storyline.

That was a fun finale for a ridiculous show. Pretty much everything Nadja did was amazing. I loved her talking about how she knows about humans now. And her bit about Guillermo being like a little shit dog in a rain coat was really funny. I also enjoyed Colin Robinson's annoying goodbye platitudes. Finding out that there were fake out hypno endings was interesting. I got Newhart, and real life Nandor being freaked out by his dream and the woman more clever then him was good. Also noticed that the actors who played Shawn and The Baron were in the closing credits so the extra endings made sense then. Overall this was a pretty great show. Probably a top 10 sitcom for me and one I will for sure watch again at some point. I can't believe I only started watching it last year after Paul Reubens died and people were talking about his guest appearance. And then to find out the showrunner was Paul Simms who created Newsradio, one of my all time favourite sitcoms made it even better.

The sequels weren't great but I am not sure Filoni's stuff is much better. Since Mandalorian season one show he has worked on in that storyline have been on a downward trend. Plus as much as much as The Force Awakens was like "remember the original trilogy" his shows are like "remember that cartoon I made like 10 years ago".

My kids used to watch those shows. And as dumb as they were I imagine they were boot camp for actors since they probably learn a ton. I just looked it up and Grande did 92 episodes of Victorious and Sam & Cat in like 4 years. I am just glad she didn't do that super annoying voice from those shows in Wicked.

When was that part? Weren't they just planning on taking the car for a drive before it locked out the Black friends in the group?

Finished it last night and I think the ending was good. The Hollywood is bullshit angle was interesting, the only thing that would have made it better would have been Andy Samberg as the movie version of Barry. I do wonder though how much John accepts of the official story. His mom told him that his dad is a killer so did he remember that? Or has he blocked out all those memories. And I know the LAPD in this show is pretty stupid but there was the one lady detective with the red/brown hair who seemed to think there was more to the story. Did she just accept it all? I liked Sally's ending though. She isn't all better. She is still pretty messed up, and couldn't say I love you to her son (and the fact that a teenager said that to their mom in public was pretty amazing). But she actually smiled at him and was able to talk to him rather than just giving him vodka so she wouldn't have to deal with him. The only thing I might have changed is having her take a more active role in keeping John safe when the shooting started. Maybe with Fuches helping them get to safety. And speaking of the shooting, it was funny that when Hank died, Cristobal's statue was full of bullet holes, but the huge glass panel wall behind him was fine.

He was really mad about Andy Samberg doing an impression of him on SNL. Samberg and Harder are friends. How did Sally even know Gene's phone number? Gene told his son in the previous episode he got a new one.

Sally's house getting attacked didn't make much sense but they did a great job making it super tense. It's weird. In this episode when the door is shut you can hear the person talking about how he has something in his eye, which is the dialog from the guy who was trying to kill Sally after she stabbed him. But there is also someone taking about how the kid won't wake up and is dead. I wonder if that is just her brain feeling guilty for how shitty a mom she is. Also when Fuches got out of prison and was wearing the white tank top he looked like an alternate universe version of Bill Dauterive who some how managed to become a badass. Although it would make sense that if anyone could play badass Bill Dauterive it would be Stephen Root.

That episode was pretty wild. I definitely thought it was a dream for a long time. Especially when Barry's framed military stuff just appeared in the dirt out of nowhere. They definitely did a great job showing how isolated and shitty it was. The kid didn't even know that giant trees existed. And I noticed that the kid said that his room was cold at night, then in one of the dinner scenes following that you can see that the windows behind Barry are open. Also where did that kid get the vintage Masters of the Universe shirt? With how isolated he was a shirt with a giant dude with a sword riding a green tiger must have led to so many questions. On the other hand I did find dark haired, drunk, trashy Sally kind of hot. Although I always laugh at how on TV, wigs can go from really fake to almost perfect looking as soon as you have a camera cut.

Sandler showing up was pretty fun for me. But the funniest part was that it seemed that they had to fix the sprayer mid-sketch. Nancy Grace saying she was being haunted by the ghost of JonBenet was also really funny.

Wait were old fans abandoned by the movies or actually by comics? Are you saying they should be writing the same types of stories they were in the 60's to try to appeal to 70 year olds? Because that means no Miles Morales, no high tech T'Challa, no Deadpool and no Wolverine. I have read a lot of those 60's marvel stories and while they are good, I think even Stan Lee would say you have to evolve.

Ideally yes. But if he didn't actually do it where were his people to make sure he didn't end up in a situation where he could be accused, or provide the evidence that he couldn't possibly have done anything? If the parents of the accusers have some kind of fault for it happened then maybe so does Jay-Z.

But if old fans are such an important block of fans, why don't they buy more comics? Plus I would argue that younger fans are more important because they will be fans for longer and are more likely to actually go see movies. Like someone who was 14 in 1962 when Spiderman first appeared in comics is now 76. I don't think there are many movies marketed to 76 year olds at all. On the flip side my daughter is 11 and loves Spiderman. But she is way more excited to find out when the next Spider-verse movie comes out than the next Tom Holland movie.
