A paid subscriber edition of Episodes is coming

In which I start recapping TV again for money (and also try to revive the pop culture blogging world of the early 2010s).

The phantom

On the Harper's letter and what happened to me in July

The Little Guy, or: On the pleasures of watching Jason Schwartzman in Fargo

by Jude Ellison Sady Doyle

Why I love Nancy from Stranger Things

Would you believe it has something to do with gender dysphoria?

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and the limits of Aaron Sorkin's imagination

Twilight of the elites

The only time the Oscars ended early

At least on TV

Six of Swords

I turned around. There was nothing there.

I am an artistic genius, and my medium is custom-designed plaques

How I forged a life-long friendship and weirded out the customer service representatives of Plaquemaker dot com, one plaque at a time

White babies

Or how a 4Chan shitpost continues to haunt me

Why Hayao Miyazaki and David Lynch excel at dream logic

And very few of their imitators do

Wheel of fortune

A story

Have I mentioned how much I don't like Sherlock?

On TV shows that want you to think you're smart just for watching them
