I think it would be interesting if Belle became the Dark One somehow instead of Rumple. And I'd kill Charming off. I don't hate him but it'd be more interesting.

No mention of the title and its allusion to the 'power of love' and 'back to the future' plots?

Brian Krause! That's who Charming reminds me of. Charming's less sanctimonious though.

Paige, as is the theme with some of the OUAT characters, was heavily fucked up by being adopted (although to be fair it had more to do with being inadvertently responsible for her adoptive parents' deaths), which explains her emotional stiltedness.

It constantly baffles me that anyone would want to know in advance. Why care?

And yet our equivalent of her is Caroline Lucas.

If you've ever handled a penny, the government's got your DNA.

Watching Hugo Horton narrate to himself his computer simulation of his local councillor father's head appearing on every seat in the House of Commons ('there he is on the government benches - and there he is on the opposition benches as well') is a great way to gain a healthy amount of irreverent partisan cynicism in

Election-centered episodes can be hilarious. Check out The Vicar of Dibley. Or, more recently, Veep.

Maybe Winston could vote for Casey Affleck.

I can see Nick supporting Trump and Jess trying to dissuade/educate him. Winston is probably a Johnson fan. It's difficult to make fun of environmentalists.

Then he must be the

I'm a millennial and I consider people's personal generation to be people they could have gone to school with. So for me, millennial means born September 1981 - August 1994. I'm aware that it may mean different things to different people, but I think 38 in 2016 is too old to be a millennial.

Both of them are alien replicons from beyond the moon!

It amuses me that the Qatari Ambassador is the same guy who was Iranian Secretary of State in Madam Secretary. Like instead of what happened to him in that show, he escaped into a parallel universe and continued his political career.

Everybody with the initials JC is Jesus.

Yes, they could have, but it would be unrealistic. In S2E1 of Madam Secretary, the President and Speaker were on the same missing plane, and the VP was unconscious in hospital, so they tried to bring in the PPT to be acting president, but when they realised he was old and senile they skipped him and made the Secretary

She could work at the UN or something and keep the same team. It's a shame the US/Veep universe doesn't have the UK system whereby Prime Ministers are Members of Parliament simultaneously, and once you stop being Prime Minister you can still be a Member of Parliament for as long as you can keep getting elected.

I once thought Selina Meyer was a Hispanic-sounding name, particularly when it was mentioned early on that she had a strong Hispanic vote.

Maybe she was trying to get Montez to mess up the oath like she had and technically not be president. Wouldn't have made any difference in the long run, but still.
