And Tina has an extended presidential daydream!

Um, do you mean he's good at jokes, or bad? (now that "literally" can mean "figuratively" I can't tell anymore)

I was sad too. Mindy is a good position to say "we can actually talk about sex and it only makes sex better!"

Especially when there is a possibility of a "yes means yes" law being real, it's odd to find Mindy Kaling on the wrong side of this isssue.

Doing something your partner has not consented to is wrong. Boy we really need to update our laws, because people like you sure don't get it naturally.

You say "Arab world" talking about that image at the end of your article. But none of these episodes were about Arabs at all, and it is not safe to assume a person in a burqa is Arab. Guess we all can make mistakes when talking about the Muslim world.

Because it gives even more power to the few giant media corporations to control the internet. There's mountains written about it.

This isn't a class issue any more than me buying a candy bar is a class issue. I'm looked at differently than someone of a different race/class when I go into a market, but that doesn't mean the transaction is all about class.
You could be bringing up interesting ways in which there is a race/class aspect to this

I'd bet that the highest suicide rates are in groups in which mental illness is most stigmatized and help least available.

Mental illness in an ILLNESS. He wasn't thinking rationally. He was suffering from clinical depression. His life was anguish. People with severe depression kill themselves for no rational reason. Trying to see his actions as having a rational cause, like fearing prision, misses the point and shows your lack of

I appreciate your passion, but most here do appreciate and empathize with institutional racism. If we didn't before, we learned some of it from The Wire. If someone stole my car, I'd be upset, but more worried about my car than about "justice".
It's often difficult and not my first reaction, because I am in privledged

Shannon Elizabeth lusting after Biggs may seem like a fantasy but she married a regular looking guy. I saw an interview and they were very happy. You're perpetuating some harmful shit, man. That was a big "hey, women (even super attractive ones) are just people who like all kinds of things and shouldn't be

Amy Schumer was eagerly watched and enjoyed in my house. It wasn't perfect, but her perspective was appreciated.

I had to slog through the first season. It wasn't until the second that I thougt it got great.

Why doesn't Carrie listen to jazz anymore? I'm calling it now: If Homeland returns to season 1 heights, there will be more jazz. Not because it's the magical missing piece, but because it will be emblematic of they kind of continuity of storytelling that the show currently lacks.

I hope so. I think all the qualifying is driving much of the backlash. People don't think they are allowed to enjoy the show and if we spend as much energy finding the interesting small things that add as we spend finding the small things that subtract, the show would have much more support.

If you read the AVclub comments, you would know that people are not cheering for Carrie (it seems most people cheered when she was shot). The portrayal of Iran is problematic, but the CIA is certainly not being worshiped.

I do see some holes in the plot, but I also think many of the holes people point to are explained if the show is watched with any kind of generosity. It seems like no matter how good the first third (s3) twist would have been, people are just mad at being fooled. This has all been planned. The questions you don't have

I think he never changed his mind, while still enjoying being loved. People have dissonance like that all the time. It's also good spycraft. Don't lie, but use the truth.

I think he always intended to try to kill him, but he did have moments of thinking what it would be like to start a new life in Iran. The "it all started here" was a reminder of why he made his decision to assassinate, not the reason or moment he made the decision.
