A perfect time for people who watch this show to read the (excellent, excellent) William Brinkley novel upon which it is based, and then wonder aloud how that became…this.

The Trump Walk - I never thought about this until I watched this ep, and it's perfect.

I will freely admit to getting a bit choked up at the sight of Full Rebel Kallus.

Mastodon, Emperor of Sand. It's a goddamn delight.

After reading the book those many years ago, I remain convinced that Baldwin was perfectly cast as Ryan. (Dives for cover.)

I like this thread. Well done.

"Lumiere Wants To Bone The Duster" is now my new band's name. Thanks, royalties will be forthcoming, and we'll see you all in AV Club's 2018 Year in Band Names.

It's weird. I'm getting an "Apocalypse Now" vibe. Why would that be?
