Will you be doing an article about Avery's ex-fiancee, the one who appeared in the documentary, who says her appearance was bullshit and Avery is a monster who she believes is guilty?

I'm not attempting to "put down" any other peoples or nations, and that you see my comment as doing that is pretty sad. I'm telling a couple of stories from my personal experience, about an event which is commonplace in the country I'm from and which I have never once seen happen in the country where I've lived for…

Awesome.

I believe AIM is still around, too.

Why does her dismissal of Camus detract from her credibility? It's not as if throughout the show she's been portrayed as troubled with the vagaries of life and seeking deeper meaning, or as having any kind of philosophical bent. She's a young woman facing the likely prospect of leaving her daughter motherless; she's…

Yes, I think Peggy was making a valid point, one that is given little to no attention and no respect at all: rather than setting women free, the "You can have it all" movement just gave women another set of impossible expectations to live up to, and told them they were failures if they couldn't.

In the first episode, a UFO shows up and distracts Rye, indirectly causing the death of the first Gerhardt to die on the show.

Yeah, the cook gets me, too. I even understand him going out there with the frying pan, but holding it aloft while running and shouting seems to me to be the wrong way to go about it. Why draw his attention while you're still some distance away? Does the cook imagine that Rye will stand there gaping at him, so stunned…

Sorry, no. Disliking a Deus ex Machina does not make people rubes and morons; expecting internal consistency from a fictional world—which encompasses even metafiction—does not mean we're all boring, frightened wee mice who can't handle anything even a little different (nor does it mean we're unable to see and/or…

Well, he definitely kills his niece there…

Agreed re the captain. I was really hoping it would turn out that he's on somebody's payroll, or is gunning for a promotion or something and so is willing to take a dangerous risk with other people's lives because if it works he'll get a medal, or whatever. I just wrote a longish paragraph giving possible motives for…

Well, it was clear he wasn't narrating as Lester, given the accent (if not Lester's actual fate), but I just thought having him do it was just a fun callback to S1; the Sherlock reference escaped me. That's really cute!

In just a handful of Wal-Mart stores in three states alone, strangers collectively paid off over half a million dollar's worth of Christmas gift layaways of other strangers.

The poor people I know are capable of doing math, actually, and are not the knee-jerk morons you apparently see them as.

Especially since the NRA was formed by former Yankee generals/leaders—the men who fought against the founders of the KKK—and historically it has fought to give people of color access to the means to defend themselves and training/help in learning how to do so (in the Jim Crow era many NRA branches were formed in the…

Yeah, population is a red herring. It's not population, it's culture.

I hope your first sentence is sarcasm?

Yes, but we're coming up on a big election year, so, after years of blessed silence about him, Michael Moore is suddenly news again and we're supposed to give a shit what he thinks.

Yes! The "it served no purpose"/it was pointless" brigade is pretty annoying. You don't know what purpose it might or will serve, or what the point might be, because the story hasn't ended.

Hahahaha!
