Second Take: Late-night shows continue cultivating comedy, creativity with at-home formats

With social distancing measures forbidding large gatherings, studio audiences quickly diminished down to only the shows’ staff members or no audience at all. Read more...

‘Killing Eve’ season 3 recap – episode 6: ‘End of Game’

Warning: spoilers ahead. “Killing Eve” isn’t much without Eve – literally. “End of Game” was already on shaky ground following a weak fifth episode centered solely on Villanelle’s (Jodie Comer) backstory. Read more...

TV review: Rick upstages Morty in ‘The Vat of Acid Episode,’ limiting character growth

“The Vat of Acid Episode” is pretty self-explanatory. The episode, which aired Sunday night, is entirely contingent upon a fake vat of acid. Strategically placed at key plot points, the running gag suddenly becomes an effective vehicle to examine the role of consequences – particularly in a universe where slip-ups can be easily concealed by scientific contrivances.

Academic student workers and graduate student researchers represented by the United Auto Workers union recently ended a nearly six-week strike in which they called for better working conditions and equitable wages. The contract stipulates pay increases for all workers – for some, pay increases of up to 80% – as well as anti-harassment policies and increased childcare support. However, the negotiations have struck controversy among some UAW members dissatisfied with the results of the contract. What are your thoughts on this issue? Only the voices of the bargaining team were heard during the negotiation process – the contract is not all-encompassing of student workers and should not have been ratified. The mediation resulted in a realistic contract for academic workers at this time. The agreed-upon result generally covered what the strikers were asking for. I have feelings about this that are not described in the options above. The contract is neither good nor bad and/or this issue does not directly affect me as a student.
