Was it WILTY? I love that show.

It looks disappointingly like normal white wine.

But there's already a short story and a movie with that title, and I could be wrong, but I think there's another TV show either on the air or upcoming with that title as well. I don't blame him, though; it is a great title.

I have been watching Real Time a bit this election season, but yeah, Maher does suck, and his writing staff is entirely composed of men, and it shows.

I thought you were making an Orange is the New Black joke!

While I'm still kind of enjoying the show, I pretty much agree with this assessment. The cheeseball factor has been off the charts at times:

It's not that I never ever download things for free (though I try not to since I have some money now), but you often run into the same issue with more obscure items, where you can't even find a torrent or it's a shitty copy.

The actor who played Night Cop Desk Clerk is someone I've only seen in another HBO series, Angels in America; it was a bit jarring to see him played jaded NYPD cop.

Cool, but how many of these are on Netflix or other streaming platform? It's so frustrating when the AV Club points me to movies that I really want to see, but they are not streaming anywhere. Guess I'll just have to go down to the video sto—oh wait.

It's number 5) that bothers me the most. It's just too convenient for Freddy to have so much power in prison, just for being a former famous boxer, if I understand things correctly.

The show made it pretty clear that Freddie can get whatever he wants, including consensual sex [from the female guard], in Rikers. (I don't want to get into all the nuances of the power dynamic at play there, but it's clearly not a Bennett-Daya situation or even a Pornstache situation.) I haven't gotten the

This is amazing.

Little dogs get away with being total dicks because they're so small, and they're not seen as threatening.

I only got into This American Life about a year ago, but I love it. In that year, I've only heard one episode that I thought was a total clunker.

Yes, sometimes lethal injections take 20 minutes or more of excruciating suffering before the injectee finally dies. You see, my comment was a joke. A hilarious joke!

Indeed, we wouldn't want a lethal injection to be inadvertently prolonged or rendered inhumane in any way.

I guess it "matters" to me (as much as any fictional plot point can) because if Daniel didn't kill her, someone else did. One of his other friends did. And Daniel took the punishment while they got away scot free.

I went to high school with an Amantha. (In western PA, for the record.)

I feel like I would totally be friends with Mel and Sue, drinking and making the stupidest puns ever and generally behaving in a very silly way.

I loved her sharp little comments on the competition, especially when she declared "I would have another baby" before baking whatever that challenge was again.
