She lost the only state that never went for Reagan.

No voter matters. Sorry. No individual voter makes any difference at all in any election above maybe dogcatcher.

I know one doesn't look to Veep for verisimilitude, but the show made such a bollocks of the process that it took me totally out of the episode and I wasn't able to enjoy it.

"A character coming back from the dead is always hacky"

You cannot possibly be so stupid as to actually believe that Reagan's dangerous, dishonest speech, delivered in a blatant ploy for money to buy nuclear weapons that had not utility and could not possibly prevent a war, marked anything other than a preposterous nadir for the United States. You make an awfully big deal…

I derided it because it's a bloated, shitty mess that seems to be more about food than story.

A lot of kids have a Jesus phase when they're in high school. Many grow out of it. Paige's faith is too new to be strong.

*eyeroll*

Anybody who loves the decidedly minor "Match Point" but can't get into the profoundly major "Crimes & Misdemeanors" has some kind of brain deficit, I think. Not as in they're stupid. Just — something isn't firing.

The show totally fell apart in its fourth season. I remember the feeling vividly, not least because I was recapping it for Northern Attack. It was like waking up one morning and realizing your favorite toy is just a stuffed bear.

There is nothing more pathetic than a fan who can't stand criticism of *someone else's* work.

The problem is that Martin clearly didn't have any idea where the story might go, either. So he wrote 3000 pages of food descriptions and bilked us all for $30 a pop for Feast for Crows & Dance with Dragons.

This is a preposterous standard. Judging by this, basically nobody should ever die.

And on my typewriter, the P and the F have failed. So when I try to write "party of the first part", it comes out "arty of the irst art".

I don't think there's any "should" or "shouldn't" about watching a TV show, especially one as silly as this.

No, YOU shut up!

For someone who's totally wrong, you're very vehement.

I JUST RE-WATCHED THIS MOVIE YESTERDAY! Part of what's great about this particular in-joke is that they play Matt Dillon's backing group, Citizen Dick.

Do you know that person is either white or a man?

There's an interview that Alan Sepinwall did with this episode's director, in which the director seems to think that this isn't a rape. If the show's steering intelligences are that clueless about what they're doing, I worry for coming seasons.
