David: Python

---

I've fallen in love with the Python language over the past couple months. I get that Node.js exists to ease the transition from front where JavaScript is king to the back, but damn if it doesn't feel like using the wrong end of the screwdriver as a hammer now.

Also RIP Terry Jones. I don't have a favorite Python, but if I did there's now a 1/3 chance they'd be dead.

I've had some grade-A professional fuckups in my life, but I've never accidentally shot down a passenger airliner.

Maybe I don't understand how surface to air missiles work, but I feel like it has to be a comedy of errors to achieve that outcome. Slow push in to the guy at the controls as the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme starts to play...

The first episode was great.

The second episode wanted to be Sherlock, but with a Columbo twist (not whodunit but howcatchem).

The third was Doctor Who. New alien creature with weaknesses that are overly explained.

David: The Witcher (Netflix)

Gratuitous nudity aside, I really enjoyed this series. I went in without much knowledge of the universe. I’ve never got around to playing more than an hour or three of the games, and haven’t read any of the books.

It’s funny, it’s brutal. It’s dumb fantasy stuff.

Mr. Robot concluded its run last night.

It left more loose ends than a woman's scarf.

I love the mystery box concept. I hate when they're left unopened. If I'm investing in your show because of your mystery box (and why else would you put one on the table if not to get my buy in), you have an artistic obligation to pay it off. If you want to leave it unopened, then you're obligated to explain that.

The overall story of the show was excellent, and it's main narrative resolution satisfying. But it's overshadowed by all the unsolved mysteries that were introduced.

Thanks for the blue balls, Sam Esmail.
