@USCAnnenberg ➡ @NorthwesternADM. Politics as lifestyle, higher ed, religion, horror, TV, H+ and the future of bodies. Oh, and over-priced coffee.

The best show on HBO has no Roys, and it has no dragons. https://t.co/Y9XtkXAOrn

@thezhanly Steam gave me this when I looked at Immortality 🤷‍♂️

@thezhanly This takes on a different meaning in context, but watch this clip from about 1;37. https://t.co/cm6RsBtuZv

[Chris Tokuhama @TrojanTopher]

@thezhanly Have you watched Station Eleven?

[Chris Tokuhama @TrojanTopher]

@thezhanly I think so! In my opinion, the second and third seasons get better than the first, but my main takeaway is that it was one of the shows that really delved into grief, which does not seem to happen often. Have to have some tolerance for abstract presentation, though?

[Chris Tokuhama @TrojanTopher]

@thezhanly I realized that the executive producer was a writer on The Leftovers, which makes so much sense

@thezhanly Oh, ha! Season 5 has aired. I don't want to pay for Paramount Plus so I will have to wait, I guess.

Curious that The Lost Symbol trades on truth in order to develop legitimacy and intrigue but then unironically talks about post-truth world. @thezhanly

[Chris Tokuhama @TrojanTopher]

@thezhanly Oh, I was NOT a fan of those shorts. Did Season 4 start?

[Chris Tokuhama @TrojanTopher]

@thezhanly It looked not great? So I've never seen it. But this season is doing southeast Asian folklore or something?

@thezhanly Yes, it's very "meh" to me.

[Chris Tokuhama @TrojanTopher]

@thezhanly No! I just saw that the show was out and put it on in the background. It just screams "network" and I have no idea how it's going to stretch out across an entire season.

Two of the many truth bombs in this incisive and compassionate @LAReviewofBooks chat about #TheChair with creator @ajwyman and roomie/critic @mervatim: TV authorship doesn't mean what we think it does, and TV shows aren't about what we think they are. https://t.co/tb4ONSgW1b
