I hate Woulk's character for some reason. I think womanizers who just have everything easy with the opposite sex and uses women as a result is kind of a tired trope. I'm not in the camp that Robin Williams's shtick got bad a while ago. I'm probably still inclined to pay $10 at the box office for a movie knowing that…

damn, now I think I have to watch these episodes and by the time I do that, the msg board will be dead and I won't get to participate in the discussion :(

Considering stuff like that, there should be a few more transporter-phobic people in the future than just…umm. I don't remember but wasn't there one transporter-phobic guy in the future?

Would the holodeck even be that fun for people who aren't into acting and role playing?
I'm sure I'd still like to be a passive audience to whatever I was watching in the 24th century. Does that happen anymore in the future?

Is anyone gonna discuss the implications that Avery Brooks would be upset about racism 400 years into the past? 400 years ago, I have no clue whether my ancestors were doing the persecuting or persecuting people. I only know my family history 125 years or so (I know that my grandparents, Iranian Jews, had it tough)

since when?
Also, larger question: why would another planet use antiquated British/US terms for their ranks.
That seems beyond retarded to me-

who's Grosse Fuge by?

Oh, btw, I missed something, why was the guy at the docks intimidated by Elizabeth? He should have just called the manager if she was suspicious. What did she have over him?

Yeah, I grew up in the DC suburbs in the 90s, lots of religious diversity here. What's interesting is I feel so removed from DC in the 80's but I can't imagine 10 years made that much of a difference.

The Center never insisted on actual agents having kids. That's one of the plot holes of the show. The people who had kids were deep cover agents and they were occupied by spy work like once or twice in their entire lives. Hence, they basically lived normal lives.

yes, absolutely. if she throws him out and ends the marraige, it gives him a more plausible excuse to not be around as much

Yes, and true story: The Oleg from Two Broke Girls is based on one of those three

Yeah, I think knowing what will eventually happen to Martha when she finds out her husband is a sham makes Phil kind of reprehensible. I mean, that's like #18 on the list of bad things this couple has done to people in the name of their mission

OK, dumb question, but why did he marry her?
I mean, doesn't he have some sense of how he can't be 2 or 3 places at once, and he already has holding down 5 or 6 different identities.

How much do you think a character actor like Martindale has to worry about financial matters? I think Stephen Toblowsky said in a reddit that if you're not a top-billed star in a movie, you do have to keep acting for money

I have a pet theory that Putin invaded Crimea just to boost ratings for "The Americans"

haha, I enjoyed this reply

Well, this might qualify as being passive-aggressive since I didn't tell him up front at the time and I'm referencing him in the third person, but I applied to the AV Club, and the TV editor was a dick to me, so I don't mind calling out his writers on not doing a thorough job, but that's just my personal predicament.…

I was just thinking of shows off the top of my head. Fuller's got another great show on anyway. I think the limiting factor would be Kristin Chenowith because she's probably so in demand and on Broadway or something. Actually, I want to see Enlightened season 3, I'd even just want to see it in book form. What was…

Yeah, I know the feeling. Some are good and some are bad, but overall it's better than MST3K because it's movies you're actually familiar with. I'm definitely happy it exists. The Jim Carrey/Tommy Lee Jones Batman film is a great one
