Of the many ways in which HBO’s Watchmen remixed the comic book source material by Alan Moore, perhaps no divergence…
My favorite small detail from Freaks and Geeks: Everything you know about high school shows says Cindy’s first boyfriend Todd is supposed to be a tool and you’re supposed to hate him. But it turns out he’s perfectly decent, always nice to Sam, has his own demons, and unlike Cindy is not a Young Republican. No big deal… Read more
I’m requesting an oral history of that Apatow/Feig photo at the top.
There’s a scene at the end of the 1st episode (I think it’s that episode) where everybody’s awkwardly stands around at the school dance feeling miserable until Styx’s “Come Sail Away” comes on and everybody just says screw it and dances that might be the most accurate depiction of High School dances and everything… Read more

The closing moments make it so clear, as well as Liz being a part of the Lodge… Read more

I loved this episode, and I love this review... But I just have to point out that according to IMDB and the end credits, that dumbass’s name really and truly is... ugh... “Booie."
Are you trying to tell me that at a certain point things will look doomed Thomas Shelby in particular or his family in general, and it will be very dire, and look like their final arrest/capture/execution, but turn out Tommy had anticipated that possibility all along, and has a secret backup plan for that eventuality,… Read more
