The Borg weren't "mindless". They had no separate personal identity, but they certainly had minds.

Since all the Germans were actually speaking English, what accent they used is irrelevant. Obviously Archer is dubbing them in his dream.

Krieger's "uncontested moral win" — if you don't count setting his dogs to kill the nurse, or killing all the soldiers he experimented on. Arguably justified, but hardly "uncontested".

What part of "math genius" suggests Donald Trump?

Listen to the Slate podcasts and you hear the incredible attention to detail of those who build the sets. They don't just turn a few Rs backwards and put a bottle of vodka on the table. Every element of a Russian scene is planned. So I'm pretty sure that the music is what Martha might have heard on the radio at the

We see 43 minutes of show that covers mostly spy stuff over a period of usually weeks. We don't see all the domestic stuff in between.
But seeing Phillip listen to the CIA tape from Kimmy's dad, that is a big investment in time, not to mention cultivating her. Though I suppose the tape is voice activated so it might

Ugh. Not Jackie Chan. He's well past his use-by date. Especially in Hong Kong; since he's become a cheerleader for the Beijing government.

"I think I missed the resolution of the Hookstraten story".
Yeah. She was made Secretary of Education. No indication that she has any knowledge of education; but compared to DeVos…

Of course he did. Two bullets in the chest, blood seeping out. Don't think he can do the "I was wearng kevlar" comeback.

If Jimmy fights the case, all the details of how he changed the figures on the Mesa Verde papers goes public.Then they would hardly keep Kim, presumed to be complicit, as their lawyer. That could be the end of Kim in BCS.
But also Hamlyn doesn't want vengeance on Jimmy; that's all Chuck. He won't want to blacken HHM

Yeah, but if Kirkman ran for election (as of course he will, if the series lasts that long); she, as VP, could hardly run against him. Legally she could, but it'd make her look bad and hamper her campaign. As for speakers not becoming president, in this universe the board was wiped clean of any rivals and she must be

"Amerika had nothing to do with an internal left wing conspiracy to illegally seize power." Never said it did. I actually described it as "commies take over the USA". Read a comment before you attack it next time.
"You equated an election where the Democratic Party lost majority power to a fascist putsch" — again, no

Well, to give them credit, right wing nutters did recently seize the US govt.
Left wingers have made a lot of noise, but not had any traction in the US since the 1930s.
(By which I mean, real left wingers, not the moderates labelled as such in the US. Bernie for instance, is left but not extremely so by world

If Hookstraten became VP, wouldn't she have to resign from Congress, and thus not be house speaker and thus Kirkman would have a much harder time getting his policies enacted? Though she would become President of the Senate, with a tie-breaker vote.
Hookstraten could run for President herself next election; if

Well, you've convinced me. To put you on my block list.

Well, that certainly proved your "point". The one you made in your own mind to yourself anyway.

You'll post to say "you missed my point", but cant be bothered to say what this point is.

It made me think of "The Cold Equations", a famous short by Tom Godwin. A spaceship carrying vital vaccines finds a stowaway, and with her extra mass there isn't enough fuel to get there and land. She's thrown out the airlock.

Maybe he means the very brief bit before the "previouslies". The actual opening follows that.

Yeah, the "let the children go aboard, no air for the rest of us" was genuinely touching. We can all only hope we would have the nobility to that. Balanced by Errinwright deciding, no, he's not gong to quietly go to the chopping block.
