Janey-E conquers Westeros:

tldr: Right wing rags tried to offer money to women to mock up a #MeToo case against Mueller and got outed. Meanwhile:

The Axios guy was getting roasted. He's furiously backpedaling on Twitter. I don't think it will change the narrative, but it's still a vile stunt.

It sounds like Metal Gear Solid.

Steven Yeun talks his star turn in South Korean arthouse hit Burning, which as a burgeoning Korean cinema buff I am dying to see, and his dissatisfaction with his role on TWD. Andrew Lincoln's final ep is this weekend - I am not watching these days but I expect I'll catch up someday. Folks are claiming this season is good but I just can't be bothered with the core cast falling away piece by piece.

Antisemitism on the left ("Because Israel" is always the excuse) has been a personal peeve of mine for quite awhile. I wasn't shocked by the attack. I was shocked when I saw the hashtag "Squirrel Hill". I never thought it would be so close to my own family.

I'm just not over my grandparents' old neighborhood being shot up. They could've so easily been at Tree of Life.

She's just the best.

He sounds like he's trying to convince himself.

Ten people are dead:

They went to synagogue in that neighborhood most of their lives. I was glad they were gone last summer with Charlottesville - this is worse.

I'm just so glad my grandparents aren't alive to see it in their neighborhood.

As a (half) Jewish person of lapsed practice at best, I am so glad my grandparents are dead. Oh God - it was my grandparents' old neighborhood.

Based on the last week's events and the numbers (and reviews) I assume it will be renewed if all parties want to continue, and I'm expecting they do. I'll bet ABC will want it back ASAP again as well - spring.

One is all that was added for last season when it was a hit as well.

I do think Emilio is probably Becky's new love interest. Some sitcoms, maybe. Dramas? Nope. The Star Trek syndicated shows in particular were a brutal grind and the creative teams hated that length.

They were very likely hedging their bets to see how it would fare without Roseanne. The critics have loved it and the numbers are decent, so they said okay. Most prestige shows - including marquee returning sitcoms like this - are 10-13 tops. Even 13 is starting to become rare for prestige shows. I don't care about quantity, I care about quality.
