Rollins Returns: Kelli Giddish Rejoins LAW & ORDER: SVU as Series
Regular for Season 27  (May 15)

She's out, she's in, she's out, she's recurring, she's in again... what's the
deal here? Is there something going on with the actress or do the writers and
producers just not know what to do with the character?

Good news for Anim!

TASK Trailer: Mark Ruffalo & Tom Pelphrey Star in Brad Ingelsby's HBO
Crime Drama; Premiere Window Set  (May 15)
 
["in TASK, set in the working class suburbs of Philadelphia, an FBI
agent (Ruffalo) heads a Task Force to put an end to a string of violent
robberies led by an unsuspecting family man (Pelphrey)"]

How can he be both leading the robberies and be unsuspecting?

ALIEN: EARTH Photos Reveal First-Look at Noah Hawley's FX Series as
New Details Emerge  (May 13)
 
["The 8-episode season will premiere with two episodes on Tuesday,
August 12, at 8 p.m."]

Only eight episodes now. I used to lament how shows only manage 10 episodes
per 'season' compared to the standard 24 episodes of my yout. Now they can't
even manage 10 episodes. They really need to stop calling these things TV
series; they're truly in what used to be considered mini-series territory now.
They're basically just long movies at this point.

Did I beat Robin with this? Is there an ice cream award involved?

Mark Ruffalo & Tucker Pillsbury Join Natalie Portman in Lena Dunham's
Netflix Rom-Com GOOD SEX  (May 19)

Why does Lena Dunham insist on making everything she does about sex when
there's nothing remotely sexually attractive about her whatsoever?
