missizzyI've been reading Jeanine Basinger's book on American cinema, and I ended up reading her chapter on film noir this morning. My main thought is that even if he comes from a different genre than his friends, it's actually quite appropriate to have a noir detective in Exandria Unlimited: Calamity. It is, after all, a genre that portrays leads as hopelessly trapped by a situation beyond them in cities gone wrong, and usually end up facing their doom. I assume Travis knew all that. Brennan Lee Mulligan might have known it too, since that scene with him at the end of the episode definitely could've come out of a noir movie.
This weekend I've largely been watching the French Open, though at this moment I'm refusing to watch the Tsitsipas/Rune match Tennis Channel insists on showing. Watching Madison Keys lose this morning was painful enough. Though, really, with all the upsets going on, I'm just glad Coco Gauff's still making a good run, since she kind of needed it at this point. Also that I got a good look at Carlos Alcarez, whom I definitely wouldn't mind seeing take over, though at this point I'm hoping Rafa to get a more secure hold on the highest slam count, because really, better him than Novax.
