They’re never gonna improve on a frechman playing a scotsman and a scotsman playing an egyptian!

I think the Highlander TV should start with origins on Zeist.  That is where the real fans want the story to go.

One thing worth looking at is the parallels to the 2000 election; Gore actually publicly conceded based on the media calling Florida for Bush and only rolled it back when he realized the results were worth waiting out and contesting. Similarly, remember in 2020 a big ado was made of Fox News (iirc) calling AZ for…

They don’t really say that, but what they’re doing is giving Succession’s George W. Trump ammo to keep it alive in the court system so that ultimately it gets to SCOTUS level where the Succession version of Clarence Thomas can vote in favor of the candidate for whom his wife works on the transition team. Or, ATN just…

“Jacobs also confirmed that having a central count in Milwaukee does mean that all absentee ballots are processed in one place on one day, making the possibility of a well-placed fire genuinely changing political tides a very real one.”

Well Jesus fucking Christ don’t tell everyone that!  

I must be slow, because it took me until the beginning of season 4 to realize they’re all stupid. “The 100" episode to be precise. All 4 kids are highly educated idiots. Dumb as a box of rocks-the lot of them.

Thank youuu - even when her conscious intentions are (/seem to be?) ‘okay, everything is nuts, let’s just apologize and talk like people’, she’s somehow floored by him not taking everything horrible she’s done/said into consideration (even though he is also a kind of monster), And not even taking his job/position into…

Yeah, isn’t that the point of well-written characters? It’s to “trigger” an emotional and cerebral response. We all knew the Roys were hard-right shitbags to begin with. Knowing that and still hoping they could be better is the core of the tragedy here.

I would stay and argue with you, you commie, but I went to the doctor last week and have to go find a second job to pay that bill.

“There’s just a hint of lemon!” - Greg.   Classic.  He’s like an All-Pro sixth man in this show...

I think, weirdly, the best social commentary this show has done yet was Ken’s slowly recognizing and dreading the world he’s creating for his kids. It’s a classic, uniquely GOP trait: a total, biological resistance to empathy... until something happens to them personally. Whenever you hear any of these right win…

There’s a thing I’ve been considering saying the last few weeks, but I didn’t especially want to believe it…

I don’t even think Roman is really ideologically aligned with Mencken and his fascism. He said tonight words to the effect of “Nothing matters” after he said his dad was dead. The last few episodes he’s been spiraling in his grief. So in his nihilism, electing Mencken doesn’t matter. And it is a better chance of…

I disagree that her apology was purely a strategic business decision. I think she meant it and she was taken aback that he didn’t apologize. I think the writers have written that relationship as real, with both of them actually caring for each other and also hurting each other. As Tom said last week, Shiv is a very…

That she wanted to have that conversation with him at that moment and then spring the pregnancy on him was insane. I was in shock on his behalf when she went in to apology mode as she was clearly trying in influence the professional situation. Another illustration of how she says one thing to him but demonstrates how…

This is definitely an new Tom, old Tom would have apologized before she even asked him to

This episode did a pretty good job of explaining why Dems lose elections with the best policies - they’re so high on their own supply they won’t even consider making a deal. Like what loyalty does Jiminez have to GoJo. Why not just agree to tank the deal if ATN keeps coverage somewhat fair and then dangle that carrot…

They managed to turn Roman from one of my favorite characters to my most hated. This isn’t a dig on the show. I’m just unhappy I fell for the trap of them humanizing him. 

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Roman.
