Ok, so I am sort of happy that I am not the only person that thinks about the dystopian prequels while watching children's television.

Research shows that torture is actually less effective than other means of getting information, like, for example, asking nicely.

My God, I feel so old.

Okay, so I know that 20 people have probably already said this, but President Comacho is better than Trump in so many ways it isn't even funny:

He had two fatal flaws, though: his brother and his seeming lack of interest in becoming president. As nasty as Trump is, he did seem to pick up on this weird lack of energy Jeb had. Whenever I saw him speaking I would just think "yeah, he really does not want this." Plus, I think W. was just too much of a…

I agree. Desperation and anger cause a lot of bad decisions. There are areas of the country that are in terrible economic condition, and those people have been ignored for decades. Plus, they're Republicans, so they've been conditioned to believe that all government does is F up everything anyway, and that you…

I'm hoping he will be a lot like Sarah Palin… In my mind the
progression from George W. Bush to Sarah Palin to Donald Trump seems sort of organic and not as crazy or hard to predict as people are making it seem. W. had a lot of that "I go with my gut" arrogance and an obvious disinterest in knowledge or details, but…

I agree. I didn't think any of the other candidates were viable, so Trump filled the vacuum, plus the media gave him endless free publicity. But I also think (and hope) that Americans have a limited tolerance for watching men bully women, even if that woman is Hillary Clinton. I think a lot of people are going to…

Fusco knows it's a computer of some sort involved in all their adventures, right? But they never tell Fusco any details, seemingly in order to protect him. Although really, Fusco can handle himself, I think.

Not to get all warm and fuzzy or anything, but I REALLY don't think that it is likely that kid was more cool than you.

Oh there are some outrageously offensive Muslim propaganda movies out there, but they're in Arabic and other languages, and I'm pretty sure many if not most evangelicals are completely uninterested in what is going on in those countries.

Now let's be fair- everyone else is rich and famous (Oliver, Thea, even Laurel is the assistant DA, so I assume being a vigilante would present a problem). Diggle is just some dude. I guess Sarah was a nobody too but she was killing people left and right…

Do you guys remember the movie Idiocracy? Of course you do, you're reading AVClub comments.

Pretty much this. But I was fascinated when Trump said, over and over again, that Bush lied about the Iraq war. Supposedly Republicans still support W. and the Iraq War. But I think in a weird way, Trump is finally saying what they must have already known- that it was a scam. Republican voters are from rural areas…

The problem is Democratic voters don't show up in non-presidential election years. So basically, it is our own fault. I think Obama's presidency has shown us that this is just what Republicans DO now. No matter who a Democratic president is, they will just dig up faux-controversy after faux-controversy and try to…

Something nice about the current Election of Insanity that we are living through is that the media appears to have no influence whatsoever and it is driving pundits out of their minds. I kind of like it!

He also pointed out that the Iraq war was based on a lie and that Planned Parenthood provides many needed health services for women. When I saw him make those points, to paraphrase Samantha Bee, I thought

God is one of those awful LITERAL genies, like the one on the X Files, not the nice Disney/Robin Williams kind!

Hera managed to look very distressed when the pilot went down in the beginning of the episode- a big improvement over completely ignoring the issue!

"Pin the junk on the hunk."
