Laura Linney better be getting roles and projects worthy of her considerable talent!

She's the attractive new face of socialism! Sorry, Bernie. No, seriously, you want Americans to get behind social democracy, have beautiful people in its ad campaigns.

But it is a truth universally acknowledged here at the AV Club that you like everything, my good CBS-loving man ;)

In the previous ep, he made some vulgar, misogynistic comments. In this one, he did shoo them out the door very patronizingly. Maybe he thought Gloria and Winnie would be too stupid to realize he was involved or he thought he could scare them since they were women cops.

That philosophy being complete bullshit to get the working classes and petite bourgeoisie to vote Republican so family-inherited rich people can do anything but actually work hard.

So channel surfing, I saw Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate was starting, and thought I'd break my boycott. Well, I kind of didn't because there's nothing in this film that you can identify as personal to the director. Anyone could have directed it. When not knowing, winking hokum, it's predominantly dull. Whenever…

In addition to Varga, the American allegory included the Stussy brothers. I can't decide if they represent the rich and poor wings of the Republican party, whose differences eventually destroy it, or the upper and lower classes of an angry, feuding, resentful America.

He is the perfect emblem of a big part of the American electorate, who also don't know anything about government and think being president doesn't need expertise, just good business skills, which they should have known he didn't have anyway. He is the mirror that reflects how proudly uneducated and dumb the people…

Chance is much smarter. Trump doesn't have any curiosity and won't learn anything. Chance is just slow but he'll eventually get there. You just need to teach him via TV. Not to mention he's actually a decent, caring person.

You mean O'Malley? Nah, he looks less like Aiden Gillen, but Rob Quist actually does.

His opponent looks like cowboy Littlefinger. Which is a plus in its own right.

So yeah, this is what happens when the other American political party condones and encourages a media arm that (falsely) vilifies liberals and anyone that isn't them. For decades. Thanks, Ailes, Limbaugh, Savage, Beck, Drudge, a long etc!

This didn't suddenly start with Trump. The GOP has been moving in this direction for decades.

The fake-out was from the episode and how it was constructed, I would say. They made the rest of the episode very tense so you were expecting anything. It wouldn't have made sense for Paige, who had been happy for the first time in the rest of the episode to have strung up a rope for suicide, but the masterfully…

The gig economy: meet the new boss, same as the old boss. When will people learn that they have to fight big business?

Colbert's managed to thread a fine needle between his previous show and the more broad one he is contracted to do now. He's pushed network 11:35 pm late night forward to an edgier place.

I'm at that chapter in E.J Dionne's Why The Right Went Wrong: Conservativism—From Goldwater to the Tea Party and Beyond, which nicely synthesizes the GOP's fall from Eisenhower moderates to the radical anti-government ideologues of today.

Read the other comments who say the same thing. The show cut between Paige hoisting the rope and Tuan telling Phil and Liz about his suicide plan for Pasha.

You may be watching the show wrong.

The poster turned Marisa Tomei into Anna Kendrick.
