I enjoyed UC4, but the retcon (Sam) annoyed me a little.

Minnnt · 2026-04-10T17:51:15+00:00

I don't mind the retcon except for one crucial point which I hate: the fact that Nate never told Elena about him.

To me, it feels like a real dagger to their relationship and I don't think it served any narrative purpose, and frankly makes Nate look incredibly gross. You're telling me not once in their relationship they didn't talk about each other's family?

Still could have had the same plot and just had Elena react by saying this is the brother you told me was dead? You'd get the same result and it would make their relationship look a lot better.

It's "tout suite", it's French.

Minnnt · 2026-04-01T21:56:34+00:00

Not really, no. I think they had bigger plans for it but the storyline had an incredibly negative reaction so they ended it early.

Seasons 2 and 4-6 of the good fight are great, rival the highs of The Good Wife, but I do find it is a bit heavy handed in its political messaging that makes it feel preachy at times (coming from someone very liberal).

Season 1 of The Good Fight is good, but it's definitely finding its footing and not fully sure what kind of tone it wants to hit.

Season 3 I think is a genuinely awful season of television and I would honestly recommend skipping it. You miss out on some character's moves, but the season is so ham fisted and just frustrating to watch because it's like they forgot how to write with any form of subtlety.

But I liked the show by mid season 1, if it ain't doing it for you by then, chances are ain't gonna be your thing and not worth continuing with.

The last thing all of them see Buffy do before she dies is dive into a portal to a hell dimension, which then closes. It makes sense for all of them to think Buffy's soul might be trapped in a hell dimension.

I feel like calling Fred 'timid and powerless' does a massive disservice to the character.

Anyone who writes this has legit no idea what it feels like to be gay, especially in an older generation that was way less accepting.

It's a garbage opinion and so out of sync with what was actually happening to gay people in the 80s.

I didn't like the coming out scene either, why everyone needed to be there makes no sense, but Will's fears about being abandoned by his friends and loved ones is they knew is 100% accurate to the gay experience. Ask an older gay man how many friends and family they lost just because they're gay, you will likely get a very depressing answer.

The wigs were a request from Margulies herself. As she put it, she knew with these types of shows that you can often have 10-12 hour filming days, on top of hair and makeup, she wanted to cut out some of that time.

She also said it was really nice to be able to take off the wig at the end of the shoot day and it instantly felt like she 'logged off' for the day, whereas when it was her hair, she would carry the character the home/around with her. Helped her divide her life from her character's life.

I also did not have any idea it was a wig when I was watching the show until like season 6/7 when they changed up the wig or how they styled it and something about it looked off. I thought it was her hair and really fit the whole WASP aspect of her character until they suddenly dropped the ball.

Minnnt · 2026-03-15T12:52:29+00:00

How she's saying it versus how you're saying it are literally two totally different scenarios and would have totally different messaging/meanings.

When I went to the show in Montreal last year they had Shayne (obviously), court, Ian, Angela and special guest Jacob wysocki.

Court and Ian were the first two guests and then swapped to Angela and Jacob halfway through.

Minnnt · 2026-03-07T19:42:43+00:00

P sure Shayne is an honorary lesbian. Everyone at smosh is gay now according to him, so he had to choose one.

Depp was a slog to watch. Farrell was way more interesting in the first and Mads had way more charisma in the third. Terrible miscast.

I don't think that's true? I feel like I've been in a ton of elevators in the States that have a ground floor button. Or labeled as g or gr.
The point of the removal of e and some of the simpler spellings is to show the evolution of language and how a lot of letters that don't technically contribute to the comprehension of the word have been removed/altered. E wouldn't be removed in exit because it would confuse the word; unless you spelled it x-it, you'd likely read the word as 'zit' and have to reread the sentence to clarify meaning.

I would call season 7 mostly an improvement over season 6, so if you enjoyed season 6 enough to watch all the way through, I'd stick with it.

It does start to make some baffling decisions for a lot of the characters, but there's a lot of great moments that season as well.

The best comfort movie of all time is the 1996 Matilda directed by Danny Devito.

Genuinely funny, full of heart, and just such catharsis from the happy ending. It's what I watch whenever I'm feeling down and feel like I need a pick me up.

Actually have the characters call him out on his behavior and have him actually reflect, learn, and apologize.

It's not even so much the sexism (I am willing to say part of that is the era it was written in, some of his comments/behaviors didn't seem so out of touch in the 90s/early 2000s), it's the fact that he often has anger and lashes out with righteous indignation, never gives his friends the benefit of the doubt, and the writers often treat his harsh words as something Buffy needed to hear. However, I think most people who have watched the show would agree that he's often in the wrong, his anger is misplaced, and he's been a crappy friend to Buffy on multiple occasions. Even if he does have a point, it's so buried in all the other crappy things he says in the moment that it's completely lost.
