I wouldn’t read into it; Deadline end most articles that mention a production with a small synopsis.

I think you’ve got some wonderful answers here already so I just want to add something that a few points brought to mind.

In my opinion one can authentically play a trait without playing a diagnosis. A great example of this is Drax in the MCU. He isn’t “the autistic one” he’s the guy with hyper literal interpretation. That autistic (amongst other classes) people relate that and feel seen isn’t because he’s “being autistic” but because he sees things like them; the other characters regard that and it somewhat authentically shows the outcomes one such person might have in these wild tales.

You can represent elements of neurodivergence without going all in on an ND character that might only serve to entrench stigma.

Just to be clear, asking people to confirm they agree to Israel’s right to exist is not the same as pledging loyalty. I don’t know if it’s a translation error or a deliberate attempt to make the point seem worse.

It’s radical to me that someone things tying people’s naturalisation to a foreign policy position is a good idea, is seems a pretty shitty one, but they aren’t asking for a blood oath.

This photo was taken years and years ago, look how young Neil Gaiman is in it.

My P1 teacher recognised me at 32…

Did they, or has he taken Rustic Hospitality?

Becky from an accounting is a vegan and you insisted on roasting a boar next to her desk. When she asked you to move you just shouted about already having cast Tiny Hut and that you “weren’t going to break camp now!”

I haven’t done a play challenge since the pandemic hit, but the last couple years I did were 25x4 challenges. Same 100 plays, but far more impetus to play new things and to swap and borrow from friends. The one year I did a 10x10 I felt a disconcerting pressure to fill my card, and that led to me not being a very pleasant participant in game nights.

“So this will be heard on every ship in the fleet?” “Yes, they’re just digitising and automating everything, so the commander presses a button and your voice plays…” “I’m not interested in all that, can we just crack on?”

The simplicity of that exchange, that Toast desperately wants to know why he’s saying these lines, but also is an ego maniac determined to show everyone this work is beneath him, cutting off the answer to a question he asked just to say he’s not interested, total genius. Toast of London, and in particular these recording scenes, is the best English comedy of the 2010s for me.

Given your attitudes to scientific study outcomes, I recommend perhaps you’d do better in a regressive society where science won’t bother you or prompt changes to behaviours you don’t want to change.

Well the problem here is that phones are an addictive substance in a sense; they diminish capacity and create a near inescapable dopamine cycle for a developing mind.

Your comment might as well read “Education with Cocaine and Speed, and about them is important, not forcing everyone to behave like the stuff doesn’t exist…”

Well, in fairness to them, I learned I don’t want no Scrubs. Which is good as I think that aired on ABC

I must have missed some Tallman background characters as I had fewer than that before moving on to tallying up her stunting for various main cast. (I checked two sources as I was worried this might be the case but as always Roles, Stunts and Secondary Artist work are not credited equally or properly).

Jaccident, when his maths failed.

Accruing back taxes can happen for a lot of reasons, one of which would be deliberate under reporting, which if a form of fraud. Hence why the IRS has the latitude to recommend charges if they feel the actions were significant and deliberate.

It’s important to remember that Trump’s current case he’s arguing he didn’t have the Mens Rea for deliberate fraud, so it’s weird to see GOP members discounting that argument as invalid with Biden.

It isn’t. The point is that accruing back taxes requires payment and may, at the discretion of the IRS, mandate a criminal charge. He wasn’t charge at the time because he paid, but he could have been. So now they want him to have been.

However I think neither party really wants things to go this way, and Republicans are going to see lots of retaliatory investigation and charges brought over missed payments etc. should they pursue this.

A waste of time and money, doesn’t improve anything in the world, just creates more division. Basically the GOP motto.

That depends on how you feel about what constitutes playing a character.

In raw numbers we’ve had Combs play 7 main characters (Brunt, Tiron, Mulkahey, Penk, Krem, Shran, Agimus) that aren’t Weyouns and at least 3 of them that I recall. This discounts his appearances in video games.

Whereas though PT has been on screen a lot, maybe as many times as Combs, it’s worth remembering that stuntpersons aren’t playing the character, they are playing the actor. She was also in Jurassic Park, not as Ellie, but as “Laura Dern’s Stunt Double”.

Edit: an earlier version of this comment started “that’s not strictly true” but I’m not the person who gets to decide that. To me it doesn’t seem true, but to someone else perhaps it does. I changed it because I’m not the arbiter of such things, and to open a comment that way was frankly a bit dickish.

I feel the scene is deeper than that. Quark isn’t just dunking Sisko, he’s shining a light on the fact that Sisko doesn’t see the Ferengi as they are, rather he uses the surface level similarities of capitalism to apply his human anxiety about pre-post-scarcity to them instead.

Indentured servitude is a form of forced/coerced labour too.

Medley and Credits are both wonderful, but to me, including them would not be in the spirit of the rankings.

I can see Lower Decks maybe taking that award, unfortunately I don’t see SNW winning alone, and I strongly suspect Elizabeth Debicki will take the Best Actress Award.
