An early episode of #Pluribus means an early recap drop, in which I had a blast watching Rhea Seehorn carry almost the entire hour on her shoulders alone:
‘Pluribus’ Episode 5 Recap: Rhea Seehorn Successfully Carries the Sci-Fi Show's Most Surprising Hour All by Herself
In Pluribus Episode 5, the Others take a break from Carol, leaving Rhea Seehorn to carry most of the hour all by herself in a stunning performance.

Rhea Seehorn out here delivering yet another all-timer character with Carol Sturka. Between this and Kim Wexler, she should be buried under a mountain of award statuettes.

The heat level: steamy!
The baked goods: plentiful!

When misogyny is baked into every aspect of existence, how do we know when a critique is not the result of an implicit bias or overt hatred for women? And when do we know praise is coming from a place of sincerity and not defensiveness? #WickedForGood

Sharing my brilliant friend @hjlodge.bsky.social’s piece about why Hamnet isn’t just “grief porn”: “… it asks the viewer to examine the art they love and see it as a distillation of hundreds of memories, feelings, and thoughts.”
How HAMNET sticks the landing - ScreenRex
Hamnet is handsomely filmed, scored, and directed. What I did not expect is the unflinchingly secular view of life and death Hamnet provides.

ICYMI! (Yes, I am going to obnoxiously promote this in my feed for a while.)
I profiled the phenomenal Rosamund Pike about playing the #NowYouSeeMe franchise's newest villain, why she's still grieving the end of #TheWheelOfTime, and the roles she's gravitating towards next — although she'll always be interested in more provocative characters:
From Bond Girl to Diamond Queen, Rosamund Pike Still Wants To Provoke You
Rosamund Pike discusses her journey from Bond girl to versatile leading lady, her return to the stage, and saying goodbye to The Wheel of Time.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Carol would be really fun in a blunt rotation?

This week was certainly the funniest episode of Pluribus yet, but we also got some intel that shed some light on Carol’s past. My mental-health breakdown, for @vulture.com. www.vulture.com/article/plur...

I’ve got a new profile on Miles Teller up at Collider! He was surprisingly open about everything he’s gone through this year — good and bad — and I greatly enjoyed talking to him about his new movie, Eternity, and much, much more.

It’s #RomanceColumn time and this month’s books are: a sweet and sexy second-chance m/m romance in Italy, a queer fake-dating Jewish baseball contemporary, and a light but tart romantasy about a villain’s henchwitch trying to do good after the villain’s defeat (gift link!).

Man, I love Pluribus. Absolutely buzzing with thoughts and questions after every ep.
In Pluribus, the unhappiest woman in the world is a romantasy author. @gavia.bsky.social discusses how the sexy pirates in Carol Sturka's Bloodsong of Wycaro shape her experiences with art and sexuality against an alien hivemind.
