Reading over the chain of this conversation, I didn't reply more than once to the same comment. I didn't "change my tune" about anything. It's not weird that I'd "wait a week." I respond when I see the comments, which I don't check every day. Also, You've had nothing of substance to say about anything, and you bore me

Yeah, I know. It's based on real humans. But none of the characters act like real humans. This is my problem. No one on this show says or does anything that ever makes any sense.

I don't even know what we're talking about any more, but I can't check these comments every five minutes. What brought me back is another bullshit episode of The Americans.

Ugh, if only this only had "interesting" characters. Stan Beeman might be the least interesting FBI agent in TV history.

What does that even mean?

I did? I missed that.

I've never heard anyone refer to a porn stash as a "spank bank." But Urban Dictionary approves of that usage, so there's some truth to what you're saying.

This show just keeps bringing it out in me. I feel like it's playing us all for suckers.

Someone should explain to Libby Hill what a "spank bank" is.

Damn shame we don't get to know what any of those emotions are. Because within hours, much like Martha, she's covering for the newly revealed spies in her life, and the status quo remains undisturbed.

Wow, good eye! Objection withdrawn. Unless the flowers are made out of sweetener packets, but I don't think they are. It's funny that the only four colors (blue, pink, yellow and white) correspond to sweeteners. It's also highly likely that I need to cut back on coffee.

Oh, well don't attack me at all. I've done nothing to you. Unless you're Graham Yost, in which case, I stand by comments about The Americans, but I'm sorry if they hurt your feelings. And I thank you many times over for Justified.

Also, entirely unrelated to my complaints about the Americans, Kimmie has a lamp in her bedroom that appears to be filled with packets of artificial sweetener. Some of them are yellow, which is standard packaging for various brands of Sucralose, a sweetener that was not approved for use in the United States until

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Oh, well that makes everything OK then.

I'm not adopting any persona, nor am I insincere in my opinion. You seem to be defending The Americans. If so, you likely have the ability to find anything tolerable. Therefore, please tolerate this horrible thing I do…

How does it even affect you?

Right, you questioned my sincerity.

My opinion is that The Americans is not the best show on TV. I think that outside of an Americans comment section, that's actually a very safe (and objectively accurate) position.

I suppose not liking The Americans justifies name calling.
