This is my exact formula. I will vote for a candidate that asks me to mail in all of my limbs in the form of taxes before Donald Trump.

Yes. I don’t care how kooky and ridiculous she is; at least she’s not Trump. I would vote for my cat over Donald Trump.

YES. Cecily is a master at accents, voice intonations, and impersonations and I can totally see her nailing Williamson’s husky Hepburn-esque style.

I completely agree. I’ve never been too attached to OITNB because of the spotty quality of its writing and plot developments, but this is the only season since the first where I was consistently impressed and sated.

Same, but that’s who Piper is. She is a) hopelessly in love with Alex and b) conditioned to make seriously self destructive decisions in the interest of being “special.” I hate Larry as much as the next guy but I disagree with Myles: his armchair analysis of Piper was spot-on and basically told us what her ending…

No. And interesting about the timeline: this show has always had a fundamental problem with it. Piper’s sentence was only supposed to last 15 months. Obviously she had a few months added, give or take, but in total she was probably only in prison for about three years (I didn’t keep meticulous track but that’s my…

I’m one of those people who haaaayyyyted it and then eventually grew to love it. And as someone who can binge 13 hours of content in 15 minutes, I made a point to watch the opening for each episode this season, just to prolong the viewing experience. I liked the orchestral treatment. The whole final episode - from…

Thank you for articulating why I felt so... I dunno, slapped in the face with that scene. I completely appreciate the show for going there, for demonstrating that this is what happens on many immigrant journeys, this is why our country is heartless, but something about it felt needlessly cruel and flippant. You…

I once attended a 30th birthday weekend at a house in the Hamptons. It was a gorgeous home, but HOLY SHIT was it littered with critters. I got several bed bug bites on my face (I looked like Mike Tyson for days after) and a HUGE spider bite on my arm that swelled to the size of a golf ball and changed colors from red…

This is a great comment and the only reason I nitpick is to add to your indignation: Emmett Till was falsely accused of just WHISTLING at a white woman - not kissing her.

God, can you imagine being a 10-year-old and THAT’S your living room? What a tragic, bizarre childhood.

Also, a great show that actually tries to empathize with Trump supporters and does a fair job at it (much better than Queer Eye, at least) is Sarah Silverman’s I Love You America, which has unfortunately been canceled. :( But it’s worth a watch: it’s really good at giving Trumpers a platform without congratulating or…

YES YES YES all of this. I thought there was something really shady and hole-y in the farmer’s divorce story. There’s DEFINITELY more to it than simply “my evil wife left and took the kids while I was out.” 

Ha! Yes, I know. I’m sure you’re not all that bad. I just say that about Tan because he seems like the last one to get down and dirty or do something silly. I remember one episode he ran away from someone’s kids who had super soakers because “NOT THE HAIR” and also he didn’t want to meet the farmer’s animals in this…

Eh. If you’ve gone this long without seeing it I’d say no. It’s one of those movies that’s more fun to quote than it is to watch. It’s also one of those movies that’s rerun on cable a bunch and I’ll watch it if nothing else is on.

I got a different impression: I think the sports dad got a (deservedly) harsh edit while the African American woman (the drill team coach) was genuinely not interested in being a mom or apologizing to her adult daughters.

Agreed. To this show’s credit, it does the best it can and I feel like any other cast/producers would be a lot more sloppy. Your local barber example is a good example, and I also like how they take the “heroes” to clothing stores they can mostly afford (or who can fit them well) - remember when they took the preacher…

Exactly. In the same breath he also asked Karamo if wanted to do karate in the garage. Clear Step Brothers reference.

Oooohhhh that drill team teacher. I feel like that was a real miss and a case of bad casting. Everyone basically said she was a bitch in the background story and she all but confirmed it. That sit-down with her daughters was so sad because she just clearly did not care about her relationship with them. She showed…
