This episode sucked sour zombie balls. The Walking Dead is at its worst when it embraces the nihilism of its post-apocalyptic setting. OKAY OKAY OKAY - being a good person in a bad world makes you vulnerable. WE GET THAT. Show me more. Show me how choosing the good is REQUIRED to rebuild a just society, and necessary…

double negative points for me misremembering a Ron Swanson quote

Thank God there was a wedding for me to get Ron Swanson's approval for
crying during this episode. And yeah, it was when Donna winked at
GarryJerryLarryTerryGarry. And Thank God that someone else admitted it,
because as soon as I started tearing up I thought "wait, why the fuck is
this making me so emotional?"

I loved that anecdote because it's a perfect distillation of drug addiction and cycles of violence in inner cities. Yes, people always have a choice, but their viable options and their ability to make the RIGHT choices are significantly constrained when their upbringing and environment constantly grind their souls…

I wish there was some kind of shorthand slang for "institutional racism". "Racist" as a pejorative term used to describe an oppressive system that provides benefits to white people and disadvantages to minorities really needs to be decoupled from "Racist" as a term often used to describe the Nazi skinhead we often see…

I think the cast actually has a nice amount of diversity it's just that their ethnic cast members tend to be underused (or occasionally behave like tired racial stereotypes). Which is sad, because the show definitely makes more of an effort than most shows at racial diversity and does a fantastic job writing strong…

The trapped homicidal gorilla reminded her of the grounder blood bank Guantanamo.

no, Gail asked. Padma PROCLAIMED.

This episode did so many things right. So many other shows are content to let familiar conflicts play out the way they are normally expected to.

I kept thinking to myself, "If I buy one of those curved OLED TVs, will it make them look like they are kissing? Cuz they are really close to kissing."

For me, the difference between Lincoln taking the injection and Clarke killing Finn was HUGE, both in my expectations and ensuing reaction. With Clarke and Finn I pretty much deduced what was going to happen before Clarke even left the camp, but I was afraid that the writers wouldn't have the balls/ovaries to follow…

I loved the gorilla scenes, bad-to-decent cgi and all - that is, right up until Clarke used her great white hero logic to compare the caged gorilla to the caged noble savages- *ahem* - caged Grounders in Mount Weather.

Lagavulin solves EVERYTHING.

Biggest disappointment: Gordon wussed out and didn't go the full distance with the cliffhanger about how Joe didn't make it "into the box". He should have said something like: "Kids… Joe is… DEAD. [deadpan pause until the children begin to cry] ………….TIRED!"

i think we know more about the juror with auditory processing disorder than we do about Geneva Pine. looking forward to the episode when we finally get a POV scene with a person of color. now THAT would be a ballsy TGW episode. although tascioni is lit with so much red she might almost count as a person of color.

One thing's for certain: The Good Wife on a bad day is more on point than every episode of The Newsroom combined. Although there were some moments where The Debate threatened to reach Sorkin levels of radioactive preachiness, for the most part I felt like it did a great job of acknowledging the white privilege and…
