Are you saying you're okay with that?

Yes, generally speaking, institutional oppression is by definition only directed at marginalized groups, so the groups traditionally in power who see their loss of privilege as victimization are generally not taken seriously by those with a full picture of how institutional bigotry works.

It's like you didn't even read the post you're replying to. (That said, it's impossible to tell from an out-of-context clip whether the characters are actually well-developed or not.)

Seriously, Breitbart must have a community of Disqus posters who just sit around all day waiting for any site that uses Disqus comments to tag an article "sexism."

In retrospect, The Man Show seems like Kimmel playing on his image and taking refuge in audacity, and Carolla making a show about what he really believes.

I always loved Norm MacDonald's Kenny G jokes on Weekend Update. My favorite:

Huh, interesting that "Harlem Shake" has been the only top-10 instrumental hit in 15 years.

You could probably skip from the Pilot straight to "Blind Spot" (episode 7), which is where the more serial elements take hold (although Raylan's father first shows up in episode 5, and episode 4 is most people's favorite of the early procedurals).

Or maybe that's what a bunch of corrupt cops going on a raid would be listening to in that situation.

The Shield struggles in the early going but it's really a brilliant show. It doesn't start hitting its stride until late in season 1, when it starts having somewhere to go with the overall story. I'd recommend giving it another shot— it's become one of my favorite shows and one that holds up very well to repeat

Yeah, isn't he cast in The Hateful Eight?

Whaaaaaaaaaaat?

Well, for a while, it was.

This seemed to happen with The Shield for much the same reasons, although its greatness was not fully apparent until it was finished, and it's been gaining in traction in the discussion of great series of our time since then. (Still, there are a lot of critics who overlook it, and Justified, because they're

Sounds fine to me as is. As with most things, it's about context.

"You have to master the rules so you can transcend them" has served me well in multiple disciplines.

Basically, yes, and what @righthojeeves said— if you want your reader to feel the threat, you can't just say "threateningly," you have to describe a specific threatening action the reader can picture.

But I also see the rift between Tyrion and Jaime as unnecessary and prefer their relationship on the show. I'm a believer in the idea that you keep things as simple as possible. Tyrion has sufficient motivations for his actions without piling on the Tysha story and his split with Jaime. That's why I say that stuff is

Yeah, huh. Maybe I was thinking of something else. On the other hand, Tyrion showed up at Illyrio's house, and we still didn't see him.
