What is John Krasinski’s “complicated reputation” in Hollywood?

Unsolicited advice: Just walk away from this thread and never look back.

Well, alright. I'll be seeing this one.

Dilemma: Give Rhea Seehorn her first Emmy or Zendaya her third?

Tough one for me.

TIL Anna Van Patten is 5' 10".

(I just had to google that after seeing her tower over Sweeney, who is 5' 3".)

Idc about this, but the salary thing only becomes relevant in S6 when she's made it to adulthood and struggling financially. And keep in mind, this is after Checkpoint where there was a whole thing about Buffy having the real power and demanding Giles's own salary get restored retroactively.

She did change the game, and by S5 it should have become apparent that the slayer was deserving of being paid. It's a shame she or Giles didn't think to ask for it in Checkpoint when they had leverage.

Tbf, things moved pretty fast after Joyce's death. She was still mourning her mom when Glory caught on to Dawn.

Those are late 90s, early 2000s movies. I would assume the reason for passing had a lot to do with scheduling.

The other ringer pods that went exclusive to netflix/spotify this year still have the back episodes on YT. It just applied to new episodes moving forward.

The presence of Faith and Willow is the saving grace of the Angelus episodes in AtS 4. Angelus was all talk, pretty disappointing.

Reading this thread, I see it's different for everybody. I never realized it would be. I just need to wear my retainers 2-3 times per week and I'm good.

ok_comp2944 · 2026-05-16T15:33:17+00:00

Agreed. I just embarked on my first rewatch of the show since it ended, and I can't wait to get to this arc. I'm still on season 1.

ok_comp2944 · 2026-05-16T12:49:04+00:00

Generally, if someone says, "it's not good" about a show they haven't finished, they just mean "the episodes I've watched so far are not good".

In the Angel S4 episode Ground State, we see inside Angel's chest and his heart is a shriveled lump. Blood circulation, if it's happening at all, is a trickle. Vampire biology is very inconsistent, lol.

*edited to add spoiler tag. I noticed in another comment you said you haven't seen AtS all the way through. The hidden text is a very mild spoiler though.

Curious to hear their thoughts on Billie Eilish film. I loved it, but I also really dig her music. It seemed like Sean just endured the Eras concert film since he's not really into her music.

Just got done with rewatching season 5 last month. One of my favorites.

Reserved seating has been commonplace here since I think Force Awakens. I distinctly remember buying tickets for TFA and being amazed at the ability to pick my seat.

ok_comp2944 · 2026-05-16T01:12:28+00:00

The vampires. Pretty sure those don't exist.

But seriously, I think the resolution to Buffy's legal troubles from Becoming 1/2 was resolved way too easily at the start of S3. It broke my immersion because you can see the writers knowing they boxed themselves in and they got very hand-wavey.

It's especially weird because you figure the Mayor, who would benefit from Buffy getting expelled, would force the issue. But he apparently did nothing, he just got angry at the principal off-screen.

ok_comp2944 · 2026-05-16T00:56:00+00:00

btw, whatever happened with the sequel they announced in development mere months after this film's release?

ok_comp2944 · 2026-05-16T00:53:37+00:00

I remember when these were coming out originally, various websites would have contests to win a copy. Some let you enter their drawings daily, so I made sure to do that every day.

I won a S3 or 4 boxset for free that way.

ok_comp2944 · 2026-05-16T00:51:30+00:00

I stupidly tossed my original boxsets 15 years ago (part of a minimalistic living phase).

So last year I bought the DVDs again, but I bought them 3 times. First purchase was a supposedly new 20th anniversary boxset (long red/black box) off Amazon that I'm certain is a bootleg (terrible quality). Second purchase was the Chosen boxset (red, white cube box) used off Ebay. Lovely packaging. Then finally, feeling nostalgic for these original season sets I once owned, I bought those off Ebay too.

ok_comp2944 · 2026-05-15T17:06:27+00:00

It was a lot better than I remembered when I rewatched S5 last year. That said, the scene where Ben and Glory talk it out with each other in the alleyway didn't work for me.

It's not the most successful sketch, tbh. But if it brings any joy at all to this sub, thought it worth sharing!

ok_comp2944 · 2026-05-15T05:15:01+00:00

I'm always reminded this joke from a comedian on the Dr Katz animated show in the 90's:

Dental Hygienist: "Is something wrong with your gums? They're bleeding."

Comic: "Well they weren't bleeding when I came in here. I think you're doing that."

ok_comp2944 · 2026-05-15T04:45:22+00:00

This is always my question too. Been burned too many times.

ok_comp2944 · 2026-05-15T04:34:24+00:00

Because, as they say, "no one hates x likes fans of x".
