No matter how you spin it, or how you justify it intellectually, this law was written to allow "religious" people to discriminate against gay people; that was the intent behind the law, that was the purpose it was devised for, and that's how it will be used. Again, this is the exact same debate people were having…

IIRC she called Gloria Allred. No idea if that's supposed to pay off or if it's just a throwaway line about how she was treated.

"I'm not trying to defend discrimination"

Yeah, the main reason it was a big deal with Paul Reubens got caught is that he was a children's entertainer.

Blah blah go back fifty years and people were using your logic to defend "whites only" businesses. The free market didn't magically end those practices; the Civil Rights Act did.

Every Republican politician in Louisiana who bought David Duke's mailing list.

If you get paid, it's not slavery, and that's an intellectually lazy and offensive comparison to make. Also, you're either naive or full of shit if you think "Nobody wants this kind of segregation"— this legislation exists exclusively to pander to bigots.

Well, sometimes, they might have the first part of the story written but not filmd, so they can go back and add performance notes to play it a certain way. Other times, they just have to make sure it's consistent with what came before. (Breaking Bad season 3 is one of the best I've ever seen at this; far better than…

"You're forgetting one thing in your analysis: something made Chuck develop psychosomatic ailments, and I doubt it had anything to do with Jimmy."

The sensation of realizing what's coming and then being made to
wait for it (and enduring the tensions and frustration thereof) —
which, to most people, is understood to be a fundamental part of the
pleasure and meaning of many things from jokes to sex to story elements
— is, for him, somehow a bad experience he…

Andy Dick re-introduced Phil Hartman's wife to cocaine. Your move, Janeane Garofalo.

I noticed it too. An outstanding moment where the facade drops and you can feel the presence of this cold, uncaring darkness.

Me too. That line has stuck with me ever since I first heard it.

Jesus, I hope not. I mean, it's plausible for sure, but I think Jimmy's story is tragic enough already.

"There was mention earlier in the season that HH&M may be a front for a some type of underworld (mob, drug) syndicate."

fuck yeah to all of this
