Okay, I'm going to think aloud a few thoughts about why this season of Fargo, while unmistakably great television, really isn't clicking for me.

We've been watching Steven Universe and liking it a great deal! Highly recommended on multiple levels! And a whole bunch of it is on Hulu, where it runs without commercials, and that's great. If you're the kind of person who can get a kick out of things not specifically made for adults, you owe it to yourself to see it. It's like Adventure Time, ( Read more... )

Okay, first you have to go read Queer Quest: Constantine straightwashing and fan fundamentalism, because that is my lovely wife doing what she does best, and because I'm not going to bother rehashing everything she says there ( Read more... )

I'm watching the Walking Dead! Why? Because it's there, that's why -- and also because if I write about AIDS for too long, I start to overload. So here, replacing one plague with another.

I just finished the first season, too, and I have Thoughts on it. They are beneath the cut for spoilers' sake, and I would really appreciate if you didn't spoil ( Read more... )
