Shadows House S1E9: "A Birdcage and Flowers"
Definitely some kind of conspiracy going on within the upper ranks.

Midnight Mass (part five)
In their boat in the channel, the last two human residents of Crockett Island - both teenagers, its final generation - watch as the sunlight falls on the shore. The fires burning across the island are joined by more flames, scintillating and golden, that light up across the beach.


Midnight Mass (part three)
The dead consuming the living, an inverse of the natural process of decomposition. The old consuming the young, an inverse of the natural process of childbirth and parenting. They come out at night, when the sun is asleep, God isn't looking, and the natural order can be challenged. When children are found missing the next dawn, it's a victory of the night over the day, the past over the future, that which should be dead over that which should have gotten to live.

Midnight Mass (part two)
The old priest, Father Pruitt, is not in the hospital. He did not fall ill during his Israel trip, at least not precisely.

Midnight Mass (part one)
After watching the first episode, I was surprised to learn that this wasn't an actual Stephen King project.

Chainsaw Man #37-38: "Train, Head, Chainsaw" and "Easy Revenge"
Anyway, that's the end of the Fireteam crisis plotline.

Chainsaw Man #35-36: "Minor" and "Katana vs. Chainsaw"
Well, we already knew that Yakuza-kun isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Even if his arms and face can get pretty sharp at times.

Veggietales S1E4: "Rach, Shack, and Benny"
An American-made Christian children's series that - inexplicably - isn't terrible.


Chainsaw Man #31-32: "The Future Rules" and "Over and Over Again"
...the existence of this entity alone might actually lead to the internet not being a publically available thing in this world. Enough people doomscrolling could make it omnipotent.

Chainsaw Man #29-30: "Perfect Score" and "Bruised and Battered"
He's like if Van Helsing was written as the lead poisoned old coach from "Dodgeball."

Arcane Season Two: Finale
Arcane season 2 was conceptually damaged even before getting into the pacing and storytelling issues.

Arcane Season Two (part four)
I'm going to restate what I pointed out earlier, about how much time early season 2 spent on long, slow mourning scenes and artsy music video sequences. Again, to be clear, I *liked* most of the music videos. I'm glad that they were there and that I could see them. But like...if they knew they had this amount of story to tell and this little time to tell it in, what the hell were they even thinking when they did that stuff? Priorities!

Arcane Season Two (part three)
This episode tells us what happened to Ekko, Jayce, and Heimerdinger after they met the Annihilation-blob in the relay tower's engine room.

Arcane: Season 2 (part two (the second))
So, Victor has sculpted a little section of the Zaun outskirts into a psychedelic pseudo-organic landscape, where his cult of former shimmer-addicts are becoming a cyborg hive mind.

Arcane: Season 2 (part two)
This was an idea that someone had. They then proceed to include this idea in the story.

Arcane: Season 2 (part one (part two (parenthesis)))
So I guess Victor was right, but like...not for the reasons that he said?

Arcane: Season 2 (part one)
For the most part, the first act of Arcane's second season is exactly what you'd expect. This is an intentionally double-edged description.

Oh My Goddess (2005) S1E1-4
There's a great story in here about luck, fortune, and agency. It being bound at the hip to "submissive magic girlfriend, wut do?" in this particular way is deeply unfortunate.
