Much as I enjoyed the spectacle of humiliation this weekend, I have to agree with you - they might still get away with it.

Just like people who call stuff racist are the real racists, I guess. Not seeing class is about as helpful as not seeing colour (which, to be clear, is _extremly_ helpful - to rich white people.)

I imagine being uncompromisingly yourself is a lot easier when what you are is so one-dimensional. The man just might not have the complexity and self awareness to perceive any conflict of interest he might be tempted to compromise about. I've never seen any indication that his mind would have place for more than one…

He clearly has a high tolerance for abusers.

As a horribly biased European, how is that healthcare hassle not part of the war on the lower classes?

The only thing that could possibly make Trump seem authentic is that his lies are so transparent. It works because he's so preposterous that people can't bring themselves to take him entirely seriously. So what? Mundus vult decipi. I can't see any novelty in that. (How novel can it be, really, if there's a proverb in…

Of course he's stronger. He's a grown-up, with all the life experience that entails. She might be technically the same age, but she only seems to have agency in those moments when she comes out - usually for fighting purposes. None of that mundane struggle of everday life stuff that hardens and numbs you into an…

The idea is that this new non-evil avatar of Lenny would be created by David, not the Shadow-King.

Might not tell you how people are, but it certainly tells you how people want to see themselves (which tells you at least a little bit…

Because Jessa is less selfish and more likely to connect with someone in a meaningful way? Why would you think that?

I've had that sort of crisis already with friends from high-school - people move to places for college, you fail to maintain the previous level of intimacy, there are hurt feelings, guilt, avoidance, drama!

We can be empathetic with Adam and Jessa without thinking that Hanna needs to remain friends with them.

His longing glance is immediately followed by one of the talking heads saying "There was something off about Ed". We're definitely supposed to suspect him.

Yeah, it's probably mostly Celeste - but not just Celeste, I think. The friendship between her and Madeleine.

No, Abel wasn't his real name.

Ah, you've done it, now I'm wistful anyway.

It would be better if what the scriptwriters, directors and producers had in mind wasn't a racist stereotype.

I'm all for a bit of artistic license, when it results in a killer soundtrack.

Immediately got myself all the songs.

Pretty sure they are, they just blame her_more_, because patriarchy.
