Had fun with THE FINAL RECKONING, but I think MISSION IMPOSSIBLE should've died after 6 or at the very least reset with someone other than McQuarrie. The set pieces remain exceptional but everything else -- the story, the dialogue, the editing -- has gone to complete shit to a near-insulting level.

new Lorde is her best since Melodrama

LAST OF US S2: V good. Probably my favorite show on TV. That said: the finale was a bit of a jumbled, rushed, unfulfilling mess & the (non-Ellie) Seattle stuff all season didn't really work for me as a non-gamer. I assume that will be rectified in S3, but not sure it's particularly effective as TV

Genuinely cannot believe we’ve done it. Those players are heroes. Stunning performance against incredible opposition.

CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE

AHHHHHHHHHH

Rogue One has always been a near-perfect movie for me, but holy ANDOR. That’s how you do a prequel that stands alone but also makes the next chapter even more meaningful

Very pleased with that second half performance after the monstrosity of the first half.

This is a hilarious lineup to try and kill a game at Anfield against the champions

In what world do Liverpool get the advantage, which led to a dangerous shot, AND the free kick??

Merino ain’t the guy for midfield and Raya shouldn’t be playing that ball to him bc he can’t turn with it cleanly or quickly

I'd like to hope that if Saka left for another country after helping us win two league titles and a Champions League that the Emirates wouldn't boo him the way Anfield just booed Trent.

Odegaard finding some shooting boots this week is at least a little encouraging heading into the summer

They're BOOING HIM? That's absolutely insane.

Damn, TAA getting booed in his last Anfield appearance 💀

The release structure is awful. I blame the creators for thinking a tiktok-brained audience doesn't have the patience for a slowburn like ANDOR (they're right of course), but most of all, I wish the creators hadn't tried to cater to those people and made the show for the people who love it as is.

The latest batch of ANDOR eps is incredible TV. My only disappointment, which isn’t the show’s fault, is that they aren’t giving Jyn the same treatment because it has the source material to warrant at least a season of TV.

Gutted. PSG are obviously good, but this tie was quite even over two legs and the difference was the quality of finishing; plus Donnarumma making some stupid saves. This group were running on empty and ultimately didn't have enough to push them enough up front - nothing new.

Think this Arsenal team got as far as it could go without the likes of Havertz, Gabriel, and Jesus. We matched PSG between the boxes but it was no contest in the boxes. Go buy the difference makers in attack and go again.

Just sad

I pray that’s the end of Partey in an Arsenal kit.

Fair play. Arteta set up the team well. But PSG have the game changers. We’re short a couple. Go buy them and go again.

Justice. Fucking ludicrous penalty to give.

PSG didn’t even ask for the penalty lol

And the season of bullshit continues.

lol just not our day

I don’t think Arteta can wait long to get the likes of Trossard and Calafiori on

I’m expecting a PSG counter attack to put this away for good, but I hope we come right back at them with the same intensity we played with in the first half.

The way the team is coached to dominate opponents is elite. They just need to buy a couple more players who can stick it in the net more reliably (and hope that their two CFs don’t get injured at the same time again).

Think you can be down about the result but also proud of the team to get this far despite the injuries.

We played very good but at this point in the season nobody cares about performances, only results, and this result is gonna be decided by those early chances that didn’t go in.

Sad. We had the chances in the first 10 minutes to make something of this tie and they just didn’t go in.

Rice makes up for his mistake on the goal

Rice’s very dumb giveaway cost us after we got lucky with Saliba’s.

They got the goals. We got the chances and didn’t convert. Sigh.

SHOOT PLEASE

Oh my god. PHEW.

Odegaard hasn’t hit a ball like that all season

Bump
