Agreed. I love Veep but I've started rewatching The Thick of It to prepare for the new series and as much as I love watching Selina and her staff bumbling around, it would be nice if they had someone like Malcolm there who is actually in some way threatening. Something to make their absurd bumbling feel a little…

How about a moratorium on declarations of wanting to bang somebody? Not because it's creepy, just because at this point it's boring to me. I have no problem with people appreciating Arya's awesomeness by saying they love her, though.
