rodent roundup - february 2026 feat. Wuthering Heights and The Prisoner

writing from me on Emerald Fennell Wuthering Height and The Prisoner in this month's roundup! capybaroness.substack.com/p/rodent-rou...

he even played two characters too!

learning he WAS eligible......look it's an especially stacked year for Lead Actor but cmon now

woof

deserved but Wagner Moura not even being eligible (i assume??) kind of goes to show how much it sucks to rebrand these as the "Actor Awards"

having The General/ABC so late is a really interesting choice!

the show is so awesome. drink it like a fine wine

you can really watch them in any order but the original broadcast order has a lot of oddities (separating an obvious two-parter and airing the parts in the wrong order is a biggie) and the way it jumps around makes it hard to get a sense of the protag's growing relationship w/ the village

here's a viewing order i made for first timers. i think it takes you through the thematic and formal progression of the series coherently without worrying too much about little plot contradictions (spoilery methodology in replies)

gollum is tearing the throat out before yoda has even had a chance to react

doing a 2018 adaptation without adapting any of the other stories feels ridiculous to me. they will need to have constant flashbacks of him ripping naked women in half

doomsday scenario

not even watching the game but: true

god survivor is so good when there's people with fun personalities on it, i had almost forgotten

this is true. every week after i finish the new pitt episode i go to my nearest hospital waiting room and i just start swinging

dunk and egg greatest of all television. 100 seasons. all doubters will be executed

the snow just melted man it's not fair

Frederick Wiseman: Forced Perspective The greatest screen chronicler of human life has left us.

it took me several days to finish writing about the life and work of Frederick Wiseman, and i still could only scratch the surface. here are a couple thousand words about one of my favorite filmmakers, a titan and a genius and a man open.substack.com/pub/capybaro...

he is so Fail, one can only imagine the terrible menus he's coming up with to this day

"republicans got a MIDTERM BOOST" ok man well coffee was over 20 dollars a bag last year and i'd like for that to stop being the case

does @depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social know about the page for The Block en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blo...

for me it's the ability to maintain a collection of albums that i can browse and select from. it just felt natural for me since it was building on an itunes library i've had since i was 10. spotify is all "playlists" and algorithmic shuffle, really not for me.

streaming music is morally righteous because it reduces "digital waste" created by downloaded files

i hate the way gen z talks about the pitt, they have no media literacy! (watches this episode) but in all seriousness robby and abbot have touched on each other though

the notion of an intelligent clown is precisely what makes him so terrifying

Doug acknowledged the reality of the situation in his review, which is more than I can say for most people

not according to the cancelled-after-one-season TV sequel series that aired on Fox!
