" On the other hand, I feel like Cam needs to be untethered more. Nary an
opportunity for him to interact with teammates, gain a friend or two or
heaven forbid a romantic interest."

Wasn't a huge fan of this ep - not because it wasn't funny (actually, it was among the funnier entries for Survivor's Remorse), but because it really felt like those episodes from the early seasons of Shameless where Frank or Karen or someone would do something absolutely outrageous, it would be fantastically funny,…

The term in the context of the show is actually very similar to what you were describing in your own experience, so the anecdote is definitely appreciated (as someone else who had the same question on the subject that Alston did).

I have missed this show a great deal and am glad to see it back: that premiere was a wonderful encapsulation of why. There's so much intelligence here; the scene where Reggie and Flaherty were speaking in the arena just sparkled with brilliant, clever dialogue, and the nexus of class, race, and pressure as the center…

I have a few quibbles (I think Elkins' very deserved fury about the detention camps and enclosed villages causes her to gloss over the actions directly undertaken in by Mau Mau fighters against loyalists, something Anderson covers and I also don't trust the demographic extrapolation Elkins does in the…

I haven't read all of her works, but the Liveship Traders series, at least, is fantastic (I actually like it more than the Fitz books).

Everyone needs more Butler! She's fabulous, detailed, brutal, truthful - I envy you, getting to read her for the first time. :)

Not really - it's a fascinating, understudied, and not-well-known topic (particularly on side of the ledger of British colonial excesses) and once I start on a topic, I have to read everything on it.

urgh, as per usual, Disqus put me in my wrong account :/

Vampire Dog!

I completely agree. I haven't had as much fun in a movie theatre in a while as I did while watching this movie.

Yeah, same.

oh no disagreement on that last bit, definitely not :p

This is actually a really good interview, thanks for the link.
