Y’all did not tell me Gillian Anderson is playing Margaret Thatcher in s4 of The Crown. There’s no way I can wait until I finish the first three seasons. S4E1 playing right now.

I’m going through it now too, by episode 3 I had to Google it because I knew it wasn’t Julianne Moore but I couldn’t place the face, and I’m usually good at that. It’s honestly lol wtf how is it even possible that it’s Scully, she’s freaking amazing.

RiskyFlush · November 25, 2020, 7:22am

She is. Astonishing to realize just how young she was in X-Files.

Apropos, Tobias Menzies should be in every show. In fact, literally every show ever made would be vastly improved if a supporting role in the show were replaced with a Tobias Menzies deepfake in that role.

I most certainly am going to look up this person

Brutus from Rome and Edmure from GOT and Prince Philip series 3-4

RiskyFlush · November 25, 2020, 7:31am

I did not watch the former and have wiped the latter from memory

RiskyFlush · November 25, 2020, 7:32am

Ah you sneaky ninja

You’re going to watch Hillbilly Elegy twice and you’ve never seen the grandeur that was HBO’s Rome? I award you a kaleidoscope of Picard face palm.gifs

I accept them as clumsily as Riker accepted the advances of that alien when she said have sex with me or else I’ll leave you to rot in this mental asylum

I guess it was meant to demonstrate how irresistible Riker is but wow

RiskyFlush · November 25, 2020, 8:08am

I have just recognized him. He is that bloke that married into the Frey family.

smrk4 · November 25, 2020, 8:10am

But he’s excellent in Rome, only two seasons tho (S1 > S2)

RiskyFlush · November 25, 2020, 8:11am

Taken before an abysmal eighth season could finish him. A shame.

The Herogasm is a Vought-sponsored event during which superheroes from all over the world indulge in a night of pure debauchery. From unlimited drugs to endless sex, the night permits the superheroes to engage in their weirdest fantasies, taking a break from the corporate superhero lifestyles that they must uphold for the public.

R.C · November 25, 2020, 10:46am

Eh, it’s not that heavy. It’s really good.

DUCY · November 25, 2020, 11:46am

You’ve got to watch Rome man, elite show

mosdef · November 25, 2020, 11:50am

Does the series have closure? I’ve always avoided it because they only made 2 of 5 planned seasons.

boredsocial · November 25, 2020, 12:15pm

Yeah they wrapped it up. Great show.

“Good” good, or “hate watch party” good?
