I actually said to my roommate: "This all-emoji comment is hilarious! It has such style and wit!"

One thing my friend and I have been discussing as we've watched this show is how smart it was to put it on a college campus. Ostensibly that's for the microcosm effect, but I think it actually works much better as an explanation for the characterization — it makes both their intensity and their selfishness believable.…

Even if there was an unlimited supply of cure, I actually don't think that's true. Zombies are (mostly) indestructible and have almost-magical powers — I imagine at least a few people would be happy to stay zombified. I could even see a situation where Fillmore Graves requires all their soldiers to be turned once they…

To be fair, Clive is kind of in a pickle here. He's certainly not going to stop Liv from taking the cure, but once she does, the higher-ups are going to notice that his crime-solving streak suddenly ended, and then there's going to be a bunch of questions.

Whoa, the more I think about it, the more this theory makes sense. The zombie soldiers wouldn't want to be another test subject for the cure (since they presumably haven't spoken to Major since his breakdown, so they don't know it works) and they wouldn't want to piss off the CEO by seeming less than 100% invested in…

Yeah, this is something I'm getting increasingly annoyed with. At this point, everyone KNOWS Liv's brains mess her up. Why is Ravi giving her important things to do when she's clearly not going to be able to do them, and then blaming her for it?

AKA the Jon Stewart For President solution!

I actually think most of those people would keep their jobs. Insurance companies would just convert to providing what we currently call Medicare Advantage, i.e., overseeing the administration of Medicare benefits to patients on behalf of the government. All the basic insurance operations like verifying and…

Humans en masse are terrible at long-term thinking, but the people who design and build nuclear power plants (and waste disposal facilities/methods) are actually pretty good at it. There are people who have spent their entire lives thinking about how to communicate "this mountain is full of nuclear waste" to…

For a while I was able to recognize an O'Neal article purely by the headline!

I mean, the difference is supposed to be things like the rule of law, safeguards against the tyranny of the majority, an established court system that follows precedents, and so forth. But I can see why that's not quite so obvious in 2017.

But these probably lack multidimensional storage capability and laundry service. Not to mention the security features.

Totes this. Demeaning women for being penetrated (regardless of where) has been an integral part of patriarchy for thousands of years. Engaging in gay sex would get a Roman stripped of his citizenship…if he was the bottom. Being the top was fine, because that was the masculine position. In a lot of ways, society still…

If it makes you feel better, I felt the same way — that Toronto subway stop looks way more like a T station than it has any right to. (Like, it looks way more like the T than anywhere in New York or the Bay Area!)

OH MY GOD. I had NO IDEA! It's starting to terrify me how many Brit/Aussie/Kiwi actors have such amazing American accents.

"Criminals, opportunists, demigods, and thieves."

It sort of seemed like the comic relief of this show. Not only was Offred laughing, but Serena Joy had this look on her face, like, "why am I going through this stupid bullshit?"

Yeah, if we can go outside of Offred's perspective in the show, then it seems like it would work to give Rita or any of the other black characters an arc. Then the show isn't whitewashed but also isn't doing this weird "we have to pick one experience" thing.

I saw the interrogation less as Offred telling on Emily, and more as her realizing that a) the interrogators already knew Emily was a lesbian, but didn't know about the resistance, and b) that they weren't going to let Offred go unless she accounted for what Emily had been telling her during their walks. So she gave…

I was wondering the same, I guess it's probably weekly?
