Setting up Andy as Deegs' father was obviously a misdirect.

Showalter's fine as an actor, there's just no reason he needs to be the protagonist of TYN— regardless of whether he's the protagonist of the movie.

Showalter's Reagan is less an impersonation than an interpretation, and it works really, really well. Black's Bush seems like a Stella character. Wain's Clinton is frightening as all fuck and I cannot make heads nor tails of it.

Where was I? Oh, yeah, stay outta my booze!

So Coop will come back as soon as MaryAnne gets off the island?
