Season 2, Episode 9: ‘Storytelling’ For Natalie Scatorccio, this season finale of “Yellowjackets” is both a coronation and a funeral. In the past, Nat, as played by Sophie Thatcher, is anointed. In the present, as played by Juliette Lewis, she is killed. “I’m not supposed to be here,” Adult Nat says in an airplane purgatory, where she is joined by her younger self; Javi, whom she let die; and young Lottie, a lead orchestrator of this madness. While they console her, Radiohead’s “Street Spirit (Fade Out)” plays. It’s a song with the lyrics, “I can feel death, can see its beady eyes.” The end is bearing down on Natalie, someone who has come to the edge of it several times but continued to survive. Now she can’t fight any longer. Looking back, her fate appears almost inevitable. Natalie was just about to die at the end of last season. She had a gun to her chin when Lottie’s minions whisked her away. At the compound, her friendship with Lisa helped her evolve out of her nihilism, … [Read more...] about ‘Yellowjackets’ Season 2 Finale Recap: Fade Out

Putin TV Hires Conspiracy Royalty
Abby Martin wasn’t sufficiently crazy. When the American journalist announced last month that she was leaving the Kremlin-funded RT network, where she had hosted the program Breaking the Set for three years, speculation arose that her departure would mark a change in direction for the channel. Perhaps RT’s managers were tired of Martin’s John Birch Society-esque musings about how water fluoridation is a nefarious government scheme, or her accusations that Israel employs “Hitler methods.” Maybe they saw her frequent exposés of “false flag” operations as damaging to their credibility. Or possibly RT, whose slogan “Question More” is interpreted rather liberally by its hosts, was hoping to go mainstream and considered Martin too crazy for that purpose. But now it appears that Martin left the network because the Russians running the operation concluded she isn’t crazy enough . At least that’s the most likely explanation for the conspiracy theory-obsessed host’s exit, considering … [Read more...] about Putin TV Hires Conspiracy Royalty
New Role For Popular CT TV News Personality
0 Arts & Entertainment After eight years at the station, she's turning over the "traffic clicker" to spend more time with her family. Alfred Branch , Patch Staff Posted Reply Teresa Dufour, WTNH's morning traffic guru for the past eight years, announced Thursday that she is leaving the post but will continue with the station in a different role. As a result, she's passing the torch, in this case her "traffic clicker," to Alyssa Rae Taglia. In a heartfelt post on her blog , Dufour explained her decision to give up the early morning routine (12 years overall, eight with Channel 8), while still continuing to co-host "CT Style" with Ryan Kristafer in the afternoons. "Fast forward a decade, and there’s a wedding ring, a home, and 2 children that are the most important things in my life," wrote Dufour on the blog. "And that’s where priorities change. My children deserve a mother who is living with at least the same energy … [Read more...] about New Role For Popular CT TV News Personality
Miss ‘Succession’ Already? Here’s What to Watch Next
The end of “Succession” leaves a Waystar Royco-sized hole in our hearts. With the various Roys scattered, licking their wounds, where can bereft fans turn for their regular dose of acid insults, soapy skulduggery and privileged misery grounded by occasional glimpses of human vulnerability and warmth? We have a few ideas. There are obvious pound-for-pound swaps, past greats like “Mad Men,” “The Americans” and “The Shield.” Each has its own thematic resonance with “Succession” — the metastasizing hollowness of business; the alienation of believing that actually, many things are more important than family; the nature of affection that sprouts from routine cruelty. But those are far from the only worthy follow-ups. Here are a few more to consider. I want something similar, but sillier. ‘The Righteous Gemstones’ Where to watch : Max The Roys and the Gemstones, a family of televangelists, are inside-out versions of one another: A bombastic, volatile but wildly successful dad … [Read more...] about Miss ‘Succession’ Already?

The ‘Succession’ Soundtrack Is Fit for a Concert Hall
There comes a moment near the start of most “Succession” episodes when a faint beat enters the scene, right before some punchline or turn of the screw. Then the show’s theme music kicks in. Over snippets of vintage family videos, a piano fantasia as grainy as the footage unfurls like a sample for swaggering hip-hop alongside courtly, imperious strings. Like any effective theme, it lodges itself in your head immediately. But this music’s composer, Nicholas Britell, isn’t a mere tunesmith, and he doesn’t stop there. Over the four seasons of “Succession,” which ends on Sunday, he has written something unusual in television: a sprawling yet conceptually focused score that has developed, episode by episode, into a classic theme-and-variations work that would be just as fit for the concert hall as for the small screen. This is characteristic of Britell, who doesn’t tend to simply set the emotional tenor of a scene. A screen composer at the forefront of his generation — not … [Read more...] about The ‘Succession’ Soundtrack Is Fit for a Concert Hall
