The combination of CBS and political satire is literally the least palatable thing I can imagine on non-premium TV.

Her single with Miaow is, kinda. Her solo stuff is a bit hard to describe: the closest touchstone I can think of for England Made Me is St. Etienne. It's an excellent record. Her second album, released on Unrest's label Teen Beat, is a pretty dull and disappointing indie singer-songwriter record. She's done some other…

I think it's that tronc thing I've been hearing about.

I'm starting to think that people need to lay off Trump until he actually gets the nomination. If he drops out the Republicans might nominate Kaisch or Rubio, who the press will hail as a moderate hero, and who therefore might actually win.

I loved The Mattel and Mars Bar Quick Energy Chocobot Hour

Dave Lowry would have been a great witness.

Yeah. It's the smart play for republicans, because they can hold the senate even with Trump losing big. Right now the only states I see flipping to D are WI and IL. OH and PA, maybe. I think Ayotte's going to hold NH (New England democrats love voting across the aisle.) With Rubio (probably) getting back in FL R will…

Why does Rickon need a 'sense of agency'? He's a Stark, he's part of Jon's and Sansa's family. He has a legitimate claim to the North. Why need more than that? Explain why 'Rickon is in trouble, and I'll do anything to save him' is *not* adequate motivation. Not every character needs to be–nor should be–'round'; not…

I'll reword my characterization to 'cathartic, but empty'. I don't see how, say, more character work between Rickon and Jon would have made anything better. I honestly don't understand why you feel the action didn't serve the character arcs (or, frankly, why they would absolutely need to, since even simply in terms of…

I doubt this. In fact I bet the republicans will put more resources into senate races than the presidency. I don't see democrats picking up more than 2-3 seats, even with trump

But not explaining how the dog cages work is a plot hole!!!

It's some of the worst hand-wringing I've read from a critic in awhile. 'It was entertaining but empty' is the lowest form of criticism

Based solely on his gun control report, yes it does.

Between this, Game of Thrones, and Silicon Valley, this has to be the best night of HBO since The Wire was on the air.

I think Sansa knew Jon would underestimate Ramsey, so she kept the Vale to herself to keep the necessary element of surprise.

Was that before or after the one where Tom Hanks got drunk on vanilla extract?

That's the way it goes, I guess

Notorious B.I.G. must have had a life expectancy of 29

Douglas had a couple of great metaphors describing that as a make-up sentence. It kind of galled me at how enthusiastic he seemed about getting OJ off, but he was probably the best talking head on the show, both for entertainment and informational value.
