  1. Because the actor playing him is gay? No. There's never been the slightest indication that Max might not be straight, unless you count failure to generate any romantic chemistry with Kat. Which he's not alone in, only one character has managed to so far. Speaking of, I know the Kat and Max analogues were the big couple on Miranda, but the writers really should have recognized a good thing and kept Kat and Oscar together.
  2. Weren't they both teachers after college? I forget what Max's original backstory was. But if they were both around kids all day, maybe they were desperate for adult company and too tired to seek out functional adults.
  3. Thor clearly understands a lot about modern life based on his TV viewing. While his manner of speech might be pretty ingrained, I'm sure he could use more current vocabulary if he chose to.
  4. Also I don't see it as being in Hetty's nature to give in to coercion, whether or not she'd be embarrassed by the reveal. Deciding to burn it all down to spite her blackmailer is much more in character. I have to agree about Todd. Does anyone really think he could keep all the creepiness about his obsession with Alberta hidden for any length of time while romancing her relative, when there would be constant Rebecca-style opportunities for her to find out? The only urgency was in Alberta being able to see Alicia reject him for herself rather than hearing about it through Sam the next time the two worked on a podcast together.
  5. You'd have loved him on Call Me Cat then, his character on that show gave as much indication of being a sociopath as a mild sitcom could get away with.
  6. It became Owen's whole identity for several weeks, so I guess he couldn't process that Marjan might offhandedly sell it off as soon as it had served its purpose.
  7. Between Nancy Travis headlining and the youngest brother being a gay bull fighter I feel obligated to watch, but moments of real entertainment were thin on the ground. So far they've mainly been restricted to Jake Foy singing and his character getting into a snipe-fest with the obvious Mean Girl. (About whom, what is her thinking, exactly? Being rude to all three of the closest relatives of the guy you've set your sights on before you've gotten so much as a glimmer of interest from him isn't exactly a winning strategy.)
  8. Am I the only one who would be thrilled to get to ride in a truck driven by Dot-Marie Jones?
  9. I thought Miller's Flash was the most poorly-acted character throughout most of the theatrical Justice League movie (admittedly he had, maybe, three good scenes that weren't cringeworthy), and that's with competition from Amber Heard's Mera and the rebooted CGI main villain.
  10. There was probably a 30-minute window where they could have asked before the series had to be rushed into production, and the person whose responsibility it was missed a train or couldn't find a parking spot.
  11. Yeah, Christine McVie is/was perhaps my favorite musician, but I'm not aware of any work she did specifically for film that would have required her inclusion. Did she do uncredited backup vocals on "Holiday Road"?
  12. Yeah, I think they take their chances moving an injured person when they're currently in a just-bombed roadhouse that's in the process of burning to the ground.
  13. I bought a largely useless tablet for my mother off one of those infomercials on QVC, so I swore never again on ordering call-in TV buying. I have been mostly happy with my TEMU purchases though; two out of three bathroom mat products are great (the toilet lid cover component is chintzy and ill-fitting, but I regard those as unneeded anyway) and the carpet pet hair roller is downright magical.
  14. This is the era of eBay. Pretty much anything is going to have some buyers who decide they don't want it and put it up for resale.
  15. Pretty sure the guy riding up on the bike didn't have Rob Lowe's geriatric toothpick arms, either.
  16. No. If you abandon your 10-year-old child whether it's over alcohol, drugs, mental health issues, or just preferring to make a new family with your new wife, you don't get to play the victim and whine about it being so sad your abandoned kid's not interested in re-establishing a relationship with you once you finally decide you want to be a parent again after 30 years of no contact.
  17. To be fair, in this case psychic power = having functioning eyes and ears while watching the movie.
  18. Well, a good guy who was willing to blow up a kajillion innocent people at the state capitol rather than, say, send his beloved wife and child to go stay in a motel a couple of states over while he turned the improbable bomber mastermind in to the feds.
  19. I've seen Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, and Mark Ruffalo in relatively small indies since their careers blew up with the Marvel movies. Hell, RDJ made his own indie about his relationship with his father. And though Hemsworth has only been in studio films, he's worked with Darren Arnofsky on a docu-series.
  20. Yeah, that was a nice touch. I also thought it was pretty manipulative for Max's dad to be buttering up his girlfriend and trying to get her to intercede on his behalf, since she'd only ever met the new, improved version. I am so glad Kat maintained her boundaries in that scene in the cafe.
  21. I record this show instead of watching live now, and fast-forward any time I see the camera cut to McBrayer. Or whenever Bialik starts doing some Vaudeville bit with cringeworthy puns. Pretty much I'm only sticking with it out of love for Swoosie Kurtz and in the faint hope that Cheyenne Jackson will take his shirt off again at some point.
  22. I don't like Hart at all, but he's in everything including multiple blockbuster movies, so it comes as no surprise that he's richer than Croesus.
  23. I didn't get that impression, but that she'd considered Paul very appealing in his former identity when they were classmates and his transition hadn't changed her feelings at all. If so, I say yay—Paul could do with some more story focus.
  24. Indeed. While I don't get why Tommy is so mortified about having unknowingly hit on her new pastor (or even why she would have been if she had known who he was at the time), the amount of mystery about why she felt compelled to in the first place is zero!
