Men Against Fire - Couldn't help but think about "Building a Wall". This one and Waldo were a definite homage to Trump voters.

Hated in the Nation - We are already making strides with nano-technology for medical purposes. This is another episode that I could see happening less than a generation from now. Nice to see Kelly Macdonald again.

Men Against Fire was ****in' wild. My friend didn't like it because he felt they were "pushing a leftist agenda" but who gives a **** really, it was a great commentary on what is actually happening today.

Honestly the biggest mind**** of Nosedive was that the actress wasn't Christina Hendricks...

Spoiler for Gilmoreeeeeeeeees:
I did think it was a sweet way to sort of make up for how the series ended given the cancellation and everything, although I still felt that Bledel was off-key the entire time. I liked how the ending brought everything full-circle and also left room for another story. Still found the Logan subplot off-putting; it was out of character for her and undid all of his own development, but I appreciated the situation it put Rory in at the end. Every Parenthood cameo appearance made me giddy. Was happy with Luke & Lorelai's wedding; it was about time they sorted that BS out. Also meathead Milo Ventimiglia does nothing for me.

Not really a proper review so much as a dump full of stray thoughts, but I really enjoyed the whole series and I thought the follow-up did as much justice as it could in 1/4 the time of a regular season.

Spoiler for more gilmorrrrre:
I sort of felt the same way, but I really liked how they did the best they could by getting the original cast back together and not going for the "next best option." One of my all time favorite characters, Michelle, was an awesome inclusion and I'm glad they kept him, even though he wasn't entirely happy with his position.

My opinion on the grandmother hasn't changed though. I still can't stand her or her voice, but her story post-husband death was wonderfully done and I saw myself feeling sorry for her at a lot of point. But I just can't get into her character.

Logan and Lorelai were always my favorites and I'm glad they really took the plunge in this season and finally sorted it out. It was beautifully done.

Watched San Junipero again last night.

Spoiler for Spoiler:
So many little hints along the way as to where the story ends up. The first being when she initially visits Junipero and she's playing a video game. The nerd comes up and asks her if she wants to play this other game. She turns to look and sees a car crash in a racing game. She immediately recoils and flees the arcade area.

I was wondering what that was all about. I was curious to see if there'd be a subplot with that guy and the games but it never really went anywhere from what I remember. But from what you said, it makes a lot of sense. I should watch the episode again and see if I find any little hints like that.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
