"write a character up to the level of her talents"

Yup, I totally agree. I root for Phil despite his often-poor behavior because it really does feel like the universe keeps crapping on him, and even a bit like the rest of the group treats him as their punching bag despite the fact that none of them would even BE there without him. The lack of empathy for how a lack of…

Phil is absolutely Wile E. Coyote. I feel like people expect him to be something else for some reason. What's impressed me is how the show has walked the line between "Phil deserves it for his shitty behavior" and "Man, the world / the other people do keep kind of shitting on Phil."

I really thought that's where this was going. I still think it might be— Phil seems to have found himself in his own personal hell; in part of his own making, but in part because the deck seems to be constantly stacked against him. Maybe he will give up on fitting in with people.

It's West Texas high school football; I'd be sincerely surprised if there was a team that didn't have a raping epidemic.

Dude, the irony of you bitching about anyone else "acting like they own the GOT Newbies reviews" is off the chars.

So you didn't watch it, but felt the need to share your opinion on it all the same?

It's you, dude. Your inability to stop posting shit like this is pathological. Don't care about your excuses or why you feel you were treated unfairly.

And most of the Lexington Marshals' office.

You'd think the soundtrack would be better, then.

Wow, how did this guy find so many people with low comment totals and private profiles to upvote him?

I don't think it's one in any kind of common use; I just gathered that from context.

Hey, last week I complained about no Big Time, and this week, Big Time! You're the best, LaToya!

Well, the best teams in baseball win, what, sixty percent of their games?

I believe it means "right wing nut job."

"I assume that if Bailey had a problem with the term Amy was using or the questions she was asking she could've either not gone along with the interview, OR she could've told Amy what the 'correct' term to use is and the 'correct' questions to ask."
