What is even happening?

I did not love Wednesday. I'm not against the idea of taking a bunch of existing supernatural high school tropes and putting them in a blender, but I didn't think the show found anything interesting to say beyond "LOOK AT ALL THESE EDGY TROPES WE FOUND"

Oh my word. Yes. Exactly this.

And mostly, I do not think Wednesday Addams needs to learn the value of friendship and working together. Let her be a weird little psychopath that doesn't learn any lessons!

Also this.

I watched The Last of Us with Oliver. He's played the game. I've only watched. Some of the first episode was SO LIKE THE GAME! Great acting by PP (natch).

Cashmere, there you are! (Did you leave Twitter, again?)

I haven't tried The Last of Us yet, because we've never played the game. Will it make sense to people who haven't and/or are not gamers?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Will it make sense to people who haven't and/or are not gamers?

I think so. The game has a very strong story, and they're working with/expanding that.

Wolf Pack (Paramount+)

Not bad, not great. Heavy on the horror. I don't much like horror.

No humor.

Not sure whether SMG's character will turn out to be ally or adversary.

I'll keep watching, see how it goes.

You all should watch episode 3 of The Last of Us. Even if you don’t watch the rest of the series. Even if you hate zombies. Even if you’ve already played the game.

Just watch it.

Thanks for that. I don’t know if I’ll watch any more of it, but that was excellent

Also watched the first 3 episodes of Poker Face yesterday. Not as exceptional as that episode of The Last of Us, but a nice little life on the road mystery of the week. There are a lot of cute references to TV and movie detectives, but it isn't just that. It is kind of hard to think of the main character as Charlie rather than Natasha, but I am working on training myself.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Cindy, I did leave Twitter permanently. Too much ick.

Ep 3 of The Last of Us gutted me. Offerman killed it. So much better than the game.

We've been loving Poker Face. It's definitely giving me Columbo vibes.

t- Episode 4 of Poker Face was definitely the best one yet.

Excellent!
