"I'm not particularly interested in reviews with any heavily biased political perspective."

As someone who grew up among a certain deeply dogmatic and delusional sect of Christianity and thus has what I consider a healthy suspicion of religion, I never would have guessed Donna had any kind of strong faith until she linked to that article, and I honestly think the quality of her television analysis stands and

To be fair to the AP, they both came into this world as a reject.

Yes.

And once again I am reminded of why The Shield continues to grow as a favorite show of mine over time.

"Kim Wexler is a criminal defense attorney living in the Los Angeles area. Her long-lost cousin Ilana is her paralegal, but she's more interested in copping from Kim's clients than defending them. Wexler and Wexler, this fall on FX."

Beerfest is all right. It's not as good as Super Troopers.

Yeah, I think that's the connection we're supposed to make.

Oh my, yes.

Comedy is harder than drama, yet it gets less respect. I always like to see a comedian give a good dramatic turn.

I mean, she's so far from Saul's level that I don't even know if she could be described as "scheming". Her plan seemed to be "We deserve this money, so take it, and no one will notice." I mean, Kim said Craig wrote checks to himself!

Now that you mention it, it does have a certain "Okay, you goobers, THIS is what it looks like when a pushy woman steamrolls her husband and he turns to crime" feel to it.

Donna's point was that there's a 1967 film called The 25th Hour, which, given Jimmy's usual referencing, would tend to fit his body of work. That said, it doesn't make any sense in this context, while the 2002 one does, and I don't think the 1967 one is well-known enough that Jimmy would expect Mike to know it.

I don't think six years is a realistic time-frame for a guy as canny as Saul to go through two wives. (Not that the standard for being wise enough not to rush into two ill-fitting marriages back-to-back is that high. I hope.)

I need a Better Call Saul / Broad City mash-up—spin-off called Wexler and Wexler.

"Everything took a weird turn after Russell Westbrook decapitated Damian Lillard."

On the other hand, I'd like to believe Bill Cosby was only able to get away with all those rapes because of a conspiratorial cabal of black celebrities, and not just because our culture values celebrity and devalues women so much.

Because it only did TWICE as well in the post-Modern Family slot as anything ABC tried since then until Black-ish.

Good luck with that. I'm pretty sure disbarring a Louisiana lawyer is like what Edwin Edwards once said about his campaign chances; the only way he could lose was "to get caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."

The way I remember it is, if the straw's in but the paper's still covering the end, it's legal.
