Yeah I was trying to decide whether this or There's Something About Miriam was the more appalling and I gotta say it's tough.

> Mortdecai was trying to be a dumb comedy that would make some people laugh at Johnny Depp acting silly and talking about a moustache, and it succeeded.

Oh please, Entourage is an eminently relate-able show for people of all walks of life, creeds and genders.

There is just so much to love out Fry and Zoidberg's subplot in this one.

I think on the one hand they were never going to let him do it, but I do think on the other that there is actually a dark tinge of heightened reality running through this show where a negligent homicide mightn't be out of the question.

I guess it's also possible that their stuff won't work in the long run. Imitation only goes so far; a technical problem may arise that only the technology's inventor can solve.

Is that it for Fischler? Since he basically got pushed out to further Gavin's deception with Bighead, isn't it possible he return to blow that case open?

I mean, in the books she does have a wine seller's daughter tortured because an attack on her men occurred in his presence, so I don't necessarily know if the show is changing her so much as a visual medium from a third party perspective is not as good as glossing over some of the stuff she's doing.

Yikes, so angry.

It being announced in front of an impatient line that Erlich was a deadbeat who had no money, or that he cried at Taco Bell was precisely intended to have the audience laugh at Erlich, yes, and not Jian Yang.

Like Odenkirk he's a dynamite improviser from what I've heard of him on podcasts.

Yeah I'm failing to see how it's not going to blow up in Hooli and Bellson's face at some point when some neutral party in the lawsuit either sees;

Varys has a habit of backing idealistic losers though. Ned and Tyrion, for example.

Yeah you're right.

I was thinking about this myself. I'm no legal expert, but I imagine the fact that Richard's original code was able to be reverse engineered from the emails he sent to Hooli co-workers will come into it.

Precisely.

He did get his act together, yes.

How is it that this show is still so entertaining almost a decade after it started?

You seem to have this odd idea that comedians aren't allowed to make social and political commentary, or that if he's discussing serious issues with a comedic bent, he's somehow out of bounds.

I think you're spot on actually regarding Rumsfeld sleaze.
