In Elizabeth and Philip's case, definitely.

I'm pretty sure that Elizabeth and Philip were having stress sex at the end there. That whole last scene was pure brilliance, I sang along the whole time. Also how come Kelly AuCoin is still a guest star? He should be in the opening credits at this point imo.

I think you're right. Damn, this show has so many layers, it's hard to keep stuff straight sometimes. But that's a big part of what makes it so good.

I'd say Stan is closer to Chris-toh-fuh, but either character works. Taking the metaphor further, would you say that the entire USSR is Silvio Dante?

I thought the exact same thing. Almost identical circumstances, but separated by twenty-one years (Nina-1983, Adriana-2004), a continent, an ocean, and a language. I'd love to watch a conversation between Nina and Adriana.

I hate to comment twice, but upon further reflection, Nina's sudden summary execution echoed Vlad's summary execution at the hands of Stan all the way back in season 1. Both paid the ultimate price for crimes that they did not commit (Vlad) or crimes they were trying their hardest to atone for (Nina).

I was in denial up until the guy said that her appeal had been rejected. Then I moved directly to acceptance. I'm just lucky my roommates weren't in the same room as me. The noises I made were very distraught given that I was watching a TV show.

I only saw the Breaking Bad finale once, when it originally aired. I'm trying to recall Jesse's daydream, but it's lost among the stevia scene, the jury-rigged machine gun, Walt's threat to Gretchen and Elliot, and Jesse's wild-eyed drive into freedom. In any case, Jesse lived in the end, while Adriana and Nina

I don't think I've ever been more upset at a TV character's death than Nina's death by what was essentially a summary execution, at least not since GOT season 3. Her ending was old-school, Greek-style tragic, and it genuinely, deeply upset me. I love how it came out of nowhere, as the lack of foreshadowing made it

That's what I'm gathering from the show. Kind of glad I'm not old enough to remember the bizarre madness that this case wound up being. Truth be told, I think it's much easier watching the case play out from a 2016 perspective than a 1995 perspective.

The sexism faced by Clark was to me unacceptable, even for 1995. I thought we were better than that, even 21 years ago. I'm just glad I was still in diapers when the trial ended.

Exactly! I suppose that's why so many people found the trial so compelling, the juxtaposition of tragedy and celebrity. As Kato Kaelin said, "Fame's complicated."

The more of this show I watch, the less I can believe that it actually happened. The whole thing manages to be tragic and ridiculous at the same time.

I was eight months old when the verdict came down. I cannot wait to watch this!

Thanks! My mind is made up, I can't wait to watch it once I'm finished with finals.

Thanks, this makes the title make more sense, even though I still have no interest in actually seeing the film.

Important question: what happened to Hitman Agents 1-46?

Agreed. I would give The Americans the #1 spot and put Mad Men at number 4, 5, or 6.

If you've never seen a single second of the Bachelor/Bachelorette or its ilk, will you still enjoy UnReal as much as if you had seen the Bachelor/Bachelorette?

True, though I think "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is the pinnacle of comedic sociopathy. While there is an element of sociopathy in Nathan For You, it's humor doesn't come from the sociopathy, but from Nathan making fun of capitalist tropes and the American Dream.
