I really thought…
The Alpha was going to be the dead kid, and that he'd been pumping everyone's hormones (and maybe that's why they were drawn to bullying him), and now that he was dead people were going into withdrawal.

He's right though. Strathairn did own Sneakers. Saying he's the best thing in Alpha's isn't damning the show with faint praise.

I don't read very much SF. I guess I got confused by the "I Grok Spock" t-shirts that used to be a thing, once upon a time.

I thought her response in the show was actually fairly kind. Next to Yes, No is the kindest thing a girl can say when you ask her out. It's that Maybe shit that drives me crazy.

No we wouldn't, Mal, because jealousy is an emotion.

I disagree. I think you do feel that way about people for the first three weeks or so when you're whacked out on whatever chemicals your brain gets flooded with when you get into a relationship. The the chemicals fade and your left with reality, which to some degree always sucks.

The hippie on Dual Survival says those are his go-to hiking snacks. Are you by any chance the hippie on Dual Survival? Because that show is awesome.

I don't have anything against Craig, but there's at least three other actors in this movie I think I would rather see in his role. Rockwell, Goggins, or the Kurgen.

Personally, I think I've lost the ability to feel that way about someone. Either because I know it will end in heartbreak and misery, or more charitably, because I haven't met the one that could evoke those sorts of emotions in me.

I wouldn't open that speech. I think around date five you could get away with it, but if you work it in too early you'll just come off as a psycho.

On a related note, until I actually see Pamela Adlon doing the Bobby Hill voice, my brain will never believe that they're the same person.

I usually go on record saying rape jokes aren't funny, but Louis C.K. has done a couple that I thought were funny. His bit they did in "Talking Funny" is a good example of that.

I couldn't remember where I read it, but I was thinking about that article during the subway scene.

"The fickleness of the women I love is equaled only by the infernal constancy of the women who love me." —George Bernard Shaw or Snuffaufagus, I forget which.

That was a tough scene, with Louie laying it all out there. Personally, the will-they-won't-they bullshit is a bone I pick with a lot of shows, but "Louie" avoids that pitfall. Maybe it's because it feels earned, or it comes from the characters rather than out of a need to force plot complications.

None of us are trained for this… Except Bill.
Isn't Hicks a former Marine Corps sniper? Those guys get some training I would think.

Yeah, the guy's one power is useless when he's alone, let's continually confront him in huge crowds of people. Heck, even yelling "bomb" would have cleared the bus station out with less of a mess than letting him squirt rage on everyone.

Yeah, clearly Hicks. I mean, granted, all white people look alike but still… clearly Hicks.

Best scene with White Power Bill.

It reminds me of the episode where Sam, Toby, the President and Charlie working on the education speech on Air Force One. I can't remember the exact line, but Toby says something like, "I think if we're going to announce a bold, new education initiative, I think we should— you know— have one."
