Damon Lindelof On Making Watchmen: ‘We Need Dangerous Shows’

Scott Huver7 years ago06 mins

Damon Lindelof has two compelling reasons for taking on a TV adaptation of the groundbreaking comic-book series Watchmen: He wants to pay homage to his father’s passion for comics, and he doesn’t think we should trust people who wear masks.

Isha Aran7 years ago019 mins

MTV MTV’s short-lived animated series Clone High USA, which premiered 15 years ago this month, is one of those brilliant cult TV classics, like Arrested Development or Freaks and Geeks. The premise of the show, which was created by Chris Miller and Phil Lord, is honestly best described in its theme song: “Way way back in the…

I tweeted what was intended as satire of a festering right-wing panic over Antifa allegedly planning violence on November 4. It got weird from there. What is it like to attend your own funeral?

Review: ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Needs to Find its Moral Heart—and Fast

Gavia Baker-Whitelaw7 years ago010 mins

After episode 4, I’m no longer sure that Discovery‘s heart is in the right place. War and moral ambiguity are nothing new to Star Trek, but Discovery is unnecessarily cold and brutal. No one in the U.S.S. Discovery’s crew seems to like each other, and the show gives no screentime to the casual side of their…

Did ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ go too far with the animal cruelty in episode 5?

Gavia Baker-Whitelaw7 years ago010 mins

It’s hard to love a character who harms animals, which is part of why last week’s episode felt so dispiriting. Captain Lorca is ruthless enough use a living creature as spaceship fuel, but it’s sad to see Burnham and Saru follow his lead. By using the captured tardigrade to pilot Discovery’s spore drive, they ignore…

Seth Meyers just used his late-night comedy show to slam our “culture of systemic misogyny” – Vox

Caroline Framke7 years ago05 mins

“This week, we’ve seen examples of powerful men at the highest levels of entertainment and politics, from Harvey Weinstein to Donald Trump, abusing their power to silence, bully, or coerce. And it’s a reminder that our toxic culture of male entitlement is still very much intact.” I agree with that statement, but I never expected…
