That's actually a very common line of thinking among white supremacists/Confederates/slavery apologists. "They were given room and board, taught a skill, fed and clothed" yada yada. Republican politics is marinated in a "slavery wasn't so bad" world view. To the point that a very common talking point is that…

Yup. The stakes don't need to be life and death and it doesn't have to be one of the main sensates for me to care. In fact, I care more about Lito's relationships with Hernando and Dani then I do about any of the BPO conspiracy stuff. In a later episode this season, one of the non-sensates gets into a motorcycle…

I don't expect her to survive the series but I'd love to see The Adventures of Arya: Child Assassin. Sort of a medieval version of The Professional where her sword master comes back to train her/take her on murderous adventures.

The theory of gravity is an "opinion" based on facts in evidence. There is more factual support for the opinion that Trump is a fascist incompetent causing severe, perhaps irreparable, damage to the fundamentals of our democracy than there is that he is just another politician doing what politicians do.

Fun fact: if you see no substantive difference between an experienced center right moderate (Clinton) vs. a manifestly unqualified fascist loon (Trump) then you are not "a pretty middle of the road guy". You are, at best, a fencesitter who justifies their refusal to choose a side (or publicly admit which side they're…

If you think Scarborough is "middle of the road" it just goes to show how far to the right the Overton window has shifted.

Did he? All we've seen is Howard witness Jimmy's break in. We don't know if Chuck let Howard listen to the tape (I presume he hasn't).

Only after Chuck described the error on the tape. Jimmy's taped confession can be read as Jimmy following Chuck's lead. "Yes, it happened exactly as you said. So you're not crazy and you can go back to work."

The tape demonstrates that Chuck faked quitting the law and manipulated Jimmy into making the confession. Later, in Howard's presence, Jimmy specifically says he confessed only to make Chuck feel better. The tape supports Jimmy's argument that Chuck has manipulated the whole thing to elicit a false confession.

As Billy Everteen said, to put Chuck's mental illness on display in front of the bar. Also, the business with the tape is probably to show the bar that Chuck manipulated the whole thing. Only Chuck and Jimmy know exactly what was said, and only Jimmy realizes how ambiguous it really is and how damaging it could be…

At least his shows made it to air. Prior to Gilmore Girls, Lauren Graham was the queen of the unsold pilot. Her one series to make it to air (and a personal favorite of mine) was MYOB, which was a summer replacement series which lasted all of 6 episodes.

I didn't even realize that it was given such a wide release (and is considered a huge bomb) until I read this piece. I always thought it was a smaller, indie film meant to be a vehicle for a cast member of Big Bang Theory to stretch a little.

The "both sides"ism of NPR is what drove me away. Climate denialists, trickle down proponents and a who's who of right wing cranks are given a platform where they're treated seriously as they spout complete bullshit and never have to address their critics or answer follow up question.

Found On Road, Dead

My bet is that she either dies or moves to Kansas/Nebraska somewhere along the way. If it's the latter, it will turn out that Saul moved to Omaha in order to be closer to her. The last scene of the series will be Saul coming home from the Cinnabon to a waiting Kim…or visiting her grave.

That's pretty much my guess how the last or 2nd-to-last episode goes: Jimmy/Kim cross examines Chuck at trial and gets his mental illness into the public record (I'm imagining a freakout on the stand) and uses that as leverage to get out from under the charges.

That's apples and oranges. In Perfect Strangers' day, much of the population only had access to 4 channels vs. the hundreds today. Back then, a 10 share was a middling success. Now, a 3 share is a top 10 hit.

They'll keep watching. They were calling Fox News the LIEberal media when they criticized (i.e. stated plain facts) Trump during the primaries and swearing up and down they'd boycott. They were back to their regular hate juice quotient by the convention.
