Che wouldn't get half as much criticism for the content of his jokes if he could deliver them properly. Sure the joke about attacking Trump wasn't fully formed but I think a better performer could deliver that in a way where you wouldn't mind. If could actually get through the jokes quickly without breaking down and looking really amused by himself we'd be onto the next joke and no one would care.

Well the comparison to GoT that they want you to make is to equate Negan to the greatest villains in GoT -- Joffrey, Ramsey, etc.
So that you'll stay with the show, waiting for the eventual payback.
But GoT made viewers hate the villains in a much more deft way, at least in the case of Joffrey, with a couple of scenes early on in the first season, if not the pilot episode.
Here, they made Negan into a boring loudmouth sadist and produced this drawn-out torture porn. They're probably patting themselves in the back about how realistic they made the effect of hitting human heads with a bat. Not just Abe and Glen but all the other people that Rick imagined being bludgeoned.
Well I guess we are all different. I never hated Ramsey the way they wanted me to.
SpoilerI was just incredibly bored of him by the time he died. Maybe the same will happen with Negan eventually but he is no more of a loud mouth sadist than Ramsey was. One thing I have confidence in TWD doing is giving me a satisfying end for him eventually. I never got that with Ramseys death.

The failure of this show to get Obama right over eight years is pretty stunning. Jay's wasn't so bad, but we haven't seen him in over a year! And now he's gone, so that's just it for Obama on the show?
The only good Obama sketch they've ever done was the The Rock Obama.

Strange to let Taram as the strongest most versatile male in the cast go but I think its ever weirder to let Jay go. The show made Pharoh, at least as a sketch performer. He was terrible at the start and now he was/is a really solid member of the cast with the added bonus of his great impressions and Obama. Who the hell is going to do Obama now? Such a shame. I hope to see them both in interesting projects very soon. I do fear the show will suffer without them though, just as this cast had finally had a really good couple of seasons.

Ending was really cheap. 2 massive slaps in the face for the fans this season, first invincible Glenn and then this.

Of course its written for her but that doesn't make her a good actress. If she was better I think I would feel more sympathy through her surface terribleness like I do with most of the rest of the characters, especially Hannah and its not like Lena is Cate Blanchett but she still manages to provide some pathos.

Marnie is a such a well written character. Its a pity Williams is such a poor actress because no matter how good an episode like this should be she still drags it down.

It was incredibly collectivist of Rebecca to assume that Audra was unhappy simply because she was unhappy on that career path, talk about projecting her issues onto someone else. Audra seemed quite satisfied with her life, she's got a husband, she's a partner in a prestigious law firm and she won her case. Rebecca had none of those things so her unhappiness wasn't too surprising as she had an unbalanced work/life situation. She apparently spent 90% of her time at the office when she wasn't obsessing about grades in her stripping class.
If Audra was a genuinely happy and fulfilled person she wouldn't be so obsessed with getting one over on Rachel even though Rachel is trying to be nice to her and end their rivalry.
I live in Berkeley and I swear that every time a new bakery opens around here and the owner is interviewed, it turns out to be a lawyer who was really stressed about work and used baking as a stress relief and then decided to quit their job as a lawyer and just bake full time.Yeah half the craft breweries in America are run by former lawyers too for the same reason.

I thought this was the worst episode of the season. Sure loads of stuff happened but it was so poorly paced that it all felt hollow. And the show has really removed all dread for the walkers. Who cares how many there are around if you can just walk into the middle of them and start killing them off.

I would definitely watch another Rich White Guy Succeeds in business show. I've no problem with that but it has to be good and it has to be interesting and it would preferably have something new to it. This does not seem to have any of that. From the point where he says "you can hate me but I earned your hate" I was pretty much switched off, then about 5 minutes later I actually switched off.

Just remember the world is 4.5 billion years old and you were lucky enough to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
Not an original thought of my own but its making me feel better so I thought I'd share it.

Ally Ioannides is also on Into the Badlands where she looks nothing like Whitman so I never thought she looked like her here either. They both have strong eyebrows but after that I don't see it.
Anyway Ioannides was great. I think she might just be one to watch to go on and do really big things in the future. This was a far better performance than I've seen from most young Hollywood starlets at the moment.
Great episode, though I don't care a whole lot about Watsons father. Hopefully that stuff pays off later.

When did he try to buy Jane? And when did he broach/threaten to use lawyers to sue for custody? Cuz that second thing? All Jane. She has considered stripping away his rights twice. Rafael? None that I remember. The only time I recall him invoking lawyers was in regards to formalizing a custodial agreement and adhering to it.
He's always trying to buy Jane. Constantly throwing money at his problems, thats all he knows.
And just a couple of episodes he wanted to get the lawyers in cos she wasn't submitting to his wants.
-
Yeah, I think that's what's always bugged me about Rafael. He's always come across as entitled, not just to having access to Mateo (and he is definitely entitled to that), but to having himself, Jane and Mateo be the perfect little family that he always dreamed about. Back in early season 1, I didn't like Micheal because of all the lying and sneaking around, and that came from his belief that he was entitled to marry Jane and have the life they planned, even though her circumstances had changed. After she dumped him because of his actions, he started to lose that entitlement, and realize Jane doesn't, and never will, belong to him. Rafael also needs this kind of come to Jesus moment.
Yep Rafael thinks he's entitled to whatever he wants, whether its Jane or anything else. He thinks he can buy Jane and Matteo and when that doesn't work he thinks he can use lawyers to sue for custody. At no point to me does it ever seem like he loves Jane for Jane. More that he's simply in love with the idea of having this perfect little family unit. A similar idea he had with Petra originally and he was happy to throw her overboard at the first sign of Jane offering him what he wanted.

I watched the first episode and I wont be watching any more. I guess if you like Bill Burr then listening to him shout might be for you but I just have no interest in this. I didn't laugh and I was quite bored.

Public Enemy have the line "So let's make our own movies like Spike Lee" in the song Burn Hollywood Burn.

And not all wives are nagging shrews and not all moms are no-fun rule enforcers.
Exactly but these are stereotypes that feed each other. Someone above used Phil Dunphy as an example of not a bumbling Dad but he is and in turn that makes Claire the nag. That tends to make him a loveable fool and her annoying which feeds back to why the woman mentioned above prefers male characters. The bumbling Dad trope is sexist and feeds the ridiculous notion that women are better carers and should be at home with their kids.

Great piece by Todd, he's definitely one of the best TV writers around and a has a great ability relate shows back to his own experiences. This is on another level though. A truly affecting piece of writing.

Doesnt really match up with Petes character over the course of the show either.

Well that was a twist I didn't see coming. That was massively eff-ed up on Raf's part. Not that it made Michael attacking him in front of Mateo anymore justified.
It sooooo did.

Of course its inplausible that he survived. There were dozens of walkers in the alley and not one tried to bit him anywhere other than his covered chest? I'm a big fan of this show and usually defend it in most cases but this was just too much of a cheap stunt. I'd even have accepted it if had some sort of profound influence on the way Glenn viewed the world, if it had brought him more in line with Ricks way of thinking. But nope immediately after being almost killed because he was too nice heone again trying to save someone who shoved a gun in his face. All they have managed to do here is make me actively root for Glenns death now.

I liked this episode more than last week's, even though it was more filler. When the writers were planning out this season I wonder if they'd considered the backlash from viewers because of how they've spread out all the characters, limiting episodes to one or two storylines, and left the fate of Glenn up in the air (or under the dumpster as it were) until (probably) the midseason finale. Didn't they realize fans were going to lose patience?
I'm pretty sure they didn't anticipate that people would be wondering whether Glenn is alive or dead. I think they just thought everyone would accept that as his death, even if he's not dead. And now its really annoyed some people, which is pretty funny.

S42.E13: Kristen Stewart / Alessia Cara
in Saturday Night Live
Oh no please not Meryl Streep. If SNL want to make a point about how liberals can be hypocrites they should do a sketch about Streep loving Thatcher while claiming to be a liberal.
