I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON!

It's astonishing to know that even with so many outlets for TV production, including the vaunted Netflix algorithm that seems to know what viewers want before they even want it, it took frigging Seth MacFarlane to give us this terrific piece of TNG fanfic. I can't believe that I almost let this show slip past me.

Magnificent and heartbreaking, it was an awesome hour of television, and a fitting way for David to mourn the loss of his sister Amy.

With such a sprawling cast, I'm disappointed that Noah Hawley didn't slide a few familiar faces from the Fargo universe into the background players.

A third of the way through the season, and I must say that I am impressed. It reminds me heavily of the landmark first season of The Walking Dead (https://trakt.tv/shows/the-walking-dead/seasons/1). Very well thought out, great atmosphere and realistic and consistent characters make the universe feel lived in and important. Really looking forward to the show as it goes forward.

The whole episode was aces (Lazslo is leaking into me apparently), but it was "Persian Frank Zappa" that put me over the top. Really superb season so far.

I farted when you mentioned the fourth season, it's kind of an inside joke.

I'm really impressed by the maturity of this show; when Ethan casually mentioned his late brother Thomas, I had to rewind through the previouslys to make sure that I didn't miss it being brought up before. At this point of the season, the only thing that I'm scared of more than the monsters is the possibility that the producers are going to find a way to mess up this show!

Claudia O'Doherty is a treasure and it was worth waiting for her to be showcased in some small role. The show is certainly better than it was when it started, but not as good as I want it to be.

This episode was better than the pilot, but I enjoyed the montage of high school kids being questioned way more than the double cliffhanger. Sorry, but a cliffhanger that appears in episode 2 of an eight episode miniseries just isn't going to make much of a difference by the end of the story. (reference https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpoiledByTheFormat )

I laughed in spite of myself at the outcome of the game of Latchcomb.

It pains me to give this movie such a poor grade because it really is so well done. Zack Snyder has such a firm grasp on his look, he's carved out his own genre of movie. He's also proved that a movie cannot survive on looks alone.

Go in with low expectations like we did, and you'll leave happy. It's a fun little movie, helped by wonderful chemistry by all the cast.

I didn't realize that this was the first half of a two parter that aired the same night; I thought that this was the season finale. Much better knowing that I won't have to wait for a resolution to this story.

I think that there's one thing that we can all agree on. The Prestige was a really fucked up movie.

As an evil and thoughtless man who downloads all of his content rather than doing the responsible thing and paying for it, I am not afraid to admit that I really thought that I had grabbed a mislabelled copy of another FX show. By the time I realized that I was watching Gretchen and Jimmy telling made-up stories about themselves, the stories got perfectly sillier. Truly, a great start to the season.

This is, and always will be, the greatest half hour of television ever produced.

This was probably my favorite episode of an otherwise mediocre season. Still not great, but some standout scenes along the way. Shot lovingly in black and white, it was a solid thriller of a chase sequence. As for the antagonist, others may have been creeped out by the Boston Dynamic style legs, I loved it's vicious twisting of the knife.

One thing that's been lost with the (well deserved) rage over the weak sauce ending is how cool the VR whack a mole game was! Best use of VR gaming since Her.

I did not think that they could top the Rachel McAdams cameo, and by the end of the episode, I could not even remember her part.

This is shaping up to be a very good show, with some issues through the first season. The Mooners, with their hippie aesthetic and lovely language flourishes, have created some delightful characters and there are some very good performances from the actors who brought them to life. Arlo, Blu, and especially little Elna have made the most of these roles and hopefully we will see them go on from here.

I started watching this because everyone talked about how excellent the source material was. As I'm not a comic book fan, I will have to take their word for it, but this show just didn't work, with simple characters and it's endless MacGuffin hunts. It reminds me of the second season of The Walking Dead, when it was still teetering with possibilities from the electric first season and the endless slog of every season afterwards. Like that show, I don't see any sign of improvement, so I'm bailing before getting invested.

I love Ed Harris, but I was really hoping that we were finally done with the dull Man in Black. At least we got to see Chekov's ED-209 in action.

A big improvement from season 1's uneven experiment with poor choices in stunt casting, this season Ryan Murphy learned how to get his actors to even out their performances. Casting Ricky Martin as the sympathetic boyfriend or Penélope Cruz as the iconic Donatella Versace turn out to be much better choices than John Travolta playing a mentally lost Robert Shapiro or Cuba Gooding, jr as alleged to be OJ Simpson. A very solid watch for me.

Surprisingly good. Well edited and plotted, it kept my attention through all eight episodes.

I noticed that this episode was directed by Jonathan Frakes, of course, Commander Riker from TNG. With ringers like that on board, it's no wonder that the show is this good.

Catherine has been really in her groove, I particularly loved her pathetically loud wail at the hospital. It was perfect, annoying, but still sympathetic. Great job!
