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.
Babakiueria
I'm not Australian, I've never been to Australia, and I only know the very, very broad strokes of the country's colonial history. So, I'm sure there's a lot in this 1986 short film that's going over my head.
Bewitched S1E7: "The Witches are Out"
I'm not sure if this show ever realized what it was actually saying. Maybe it did. But I don't think so.
Malcolm in the Middle S2E20: "Bowling"
A creative idea for an episode, saddled with mostly lazy writing and unfunny jokes.
Dr. Who: "Rose"
When I put it in writing "zany impish guy is now a traumatized veteran" sounds like an edgy juvenile deconstruction. It isn't, though. It really, really isn't.
"Wednesday" vis a vis "Adult Wednesday Addams"
let's see who seems to have done it better.
Altered Carbon S1E5: "The Wrong Man" (continued)
Did the writers even read their own scripts?
Altered Carbon S1E5: "The Wrong Man"
Time to keep kicking my way through this overproduced trainwreck.
Altered Carbon S1E4: “Force of Evil” (continued)
It's got a really strong sort of JJ Abrams "look at how intricate and clever I think I am" asspull feel to it.
Altered Carbon S1E4: “Force of Evil”
The sort of charisma she uses is equal parts primal fear and primal allure. Like you can't tell if you're afraid she's about to burst out of her human suit and tear you to shreds, or if she's just the sexiest thing ever
....okay, rereading that paragraph right after I wrote it is making me a little worried about myself, ngl.
Altered Carbon S1E3: "In a Lonely Place" (continued)
Kovacs' writing might not measure up to his baseline in this scene. Hubert might be making me hate him. But, try as one might, there is simply no outdoing Detective Kirsten "Garfield Minus Garfield" Ortega.
Altered Carbon S1E3: "In a Lonely Place"
How are Kovacs and Ortega in the same script? It's seriously night and day.
Altered Carbon S1E2: “Fallen Angel” (part 3)
Oh god what has Ortega been doing to this corpse she stole holy fuck why.
Altered Carbon S1E2: “Fallen Angel” (continued)
He's one of the good slumming meths. When he kills one of his favorite hookers, he always buys them a brand shiny new sleeve, often younger, healthier, and hotter than the body they had before.
"Whenever" he kills one.
Altered Carbon S1E2: “Fallen Angel”
It turns out that Laurens Bancroft is...well, exactly as popular as you'd expect.
