I know I'm commenting into the void eight months on, but are you really saying it would take a weirdo to sleep with Kelli? What a disappointing, reductive take.

Martha and the Mail Robot's adventures in the Soviet Union? I think we have our first spin-off show, folks.

It isn't available to stream anywhere, but I first saw her in an Australian indie film called Flirting that I loved. The DVD cover now prominently displays Nicole Kidman, who had a minor role, but Thandie costarred with Noah Taylor. It's a sequel to The Year My Voice Broke which only has Taylor and is also excellent.

Well, zombies would make the most money now. But this show is clearly set in the significant future. Not only does their technology point toward the futuristic, there was a casual mention of space orbital work. Its use made me think it's the future's "it's not exactly rocket science." Zombies as a fad will wax and…

For #5, I wish I had more than one like to give.

But what do thieves, murderers, arsonists look like before they commit their first crime? They're not marked by their future or current misdeeds. Maybe there's some cognitive dissonance in how you discuss different categories of criminals? By labeling other criminals by their crimes while implying rapists aren't…

Clearly 69 is the new 27 and privately battling cancer is the new drug overdose/alcohol-related death.

"Rock and Roll Suicide" did it for me; O'Neal nailed it in his description of the song's final stanza and what it meant to me as both an awkward, disaffected teen and even still as an adult.

And inspired/birthed one of my favorite lyrics: "if it's not the side effects of the cocaine, I'm thinking that it must be love."

Completely agreed. Not to mention he's acknowledged the bald spot on air & made fun of himself for hiding it. I think this entire thing is being overblown - Idiot King says it perfectly below.

Nah, Margaret Mitchell - no matter how abhorrent some of her beliefs are - was a vastly more competent writer than Stephanie Meyer. So you don't have to cringe over both content and style as with Twilight.

Have any of you ever read The Wind Done Gone by Alice Randall? It's the same story as Gone with the Wind but from the perspective of one of Scarlett's slaves. Similar to The Wide Sargasso Sea, it beautifully unpacks and deconstructs the sins of the original.

I feel that way, too, but sometimes wonder if that's because we don't spend enough time with him to have a clear idea of everything he might do/approve/condone. If that's the case, though, I'd prefer to continue in ignorance.

I think Philip did try to clean up the crime scene, so to speak, by removing spycraft items that would have exposed them as something other than a nice suburban family senselessly murdered. I don't think there was any further clean up that could've been attempted given the circumstances.

You could easily argue that it's not your inner racist, but that you heard the girl's mother speak lovingly and hopefully about her ahead of the gruesome & untimely demise. So, really, it's the lack of the busboy's mother in the show is the issue, not you.

Remember watching the wavy glimpses of porn on the adult cable channels your parents didn't subscribe to? Every so often something exciting like a breast would come into focus to titillate all.

Taken alone, I'd agree with that kissing the surgical scars hit that type of sour note. With the following scene where they catch up with beers on the hood of a car, it became poignant to me. The other agent understands the sacrifice, fear and costs those scars represent and knows Elizabeth in a way no one but Phillip…

I'm late to the party so this comment will probably be lost in time. Nevertheless, I do want to say that it may be time for people to take a few deep breaths and listen to what most of our commentariot is saying.
