The Television Streaming Thread: Now With Felonies

Page has been very vocal about gender and sexuality issues and rights for a long time. So in a way I think that helps because it makes this announcement part of a broader narrative.

So I donā€™t know who watches The Simpsons anymore, but I was definitely worried when I heard they were doing an episode about Cincinnati. I figured it would be 30 minutes of making fun of it, but I was wrong. It was surprisingly accurate in that Simpsons sort of way, and it wasnā€™t deprecating at all (ok, maybe a little), it was almost complimentary. Like, this is what the riverfront actually looks like:

And this place is iconic:

On the other hand, Futurama did NOT write a love letter to Atlanta:

Amazing hahahahaha.

I was just rethinking his previous roles and feeling a little giddy at us reshaping our memories of his greatest works.

Juno was a commanding performance about a pregnant teenage girl by a trans man.

The best Kitty Pride came from a trans man.

Hard Candy takes on a new layer when that character is seen as a trans man. Or at least played by a trans man.

Hype!

This right after the Eliot Page posts made me think we needed to boycott Chapelle because of some anti-trans commentary he made. Little did I know itā€™s not that at all!

Iā€™m a few episodes behind. This gives me an incentive to catch up.

Caught up Mando S2, doesnā€™t seem like a lot of people itt are watching?

In general, I think itā€™s about as good as Star Wars can get. S2E5 alone has more compelling LS combat than anything in the last 3 movies put together. Am I supposed to hate baby Yodaā€™s name or something? Itā€™s not great but at least itā€™s not fucking ā€˜snokeā€™ or Count Doodoo. Love the variety of worlds and species being explored. A bordering on A+. Iā€™m not any kind of expanded universe reader, but Iā€™m pumped for Thrawn.

Canā€™t help but read about some of the spoilers and look forward to watching it. I donā€™t pay for D+ though, so no idea when Iā€™ll be able to catch up.

Yā€™all good with splitting Mando into its own thread? No need for you to use spoilers there with such detailed discussion.

Just saw couple episodes of Schittā€™s Creek and I wondered is this supposed to be funny? Feels like Arrested Development with a down syndrome and lobotomia.
