It was an elegant sidestepping of the benign racist comment about whom the baby looks like. You could tell that Harry was very protective. 

Just binged this show - so happy it’s continuing forward. I had read and loved the comic and, I will admit, it took me a few episodes to accept this as a completely separate beast. As others have said, the show really transcends its [admittedly ridiculous] premise - primarily on the strength of the cast.

Agreed. If there’s one thing that should be the takeaway from this show/series, it’s that what is a “game of thrones” to the nobility is a constant source of instability and death to millions of common folk. It’s fundamentally unfair, and even well-intentioned upstarts like Ned and Robert just end up reinforcing the…

And, contrary to the bizarre assumption held by many that the Midwest is some sort of inherently conservative flyover country, it’s also a major historical hub of workers rights movements and US socialism. 

Let me be the very first to say: still would.

He wakes up and he’s the mentally-disabled son of a worker at a run-down Boston hospital who watches too much goddamned teevee.

This is all I’ve wanted. If we can thank Thanos for anything, it’s (likely) removing Hawkeye’s lovely, but ill-conceived family.

No, I agree with you, though I think the movie was trying to go for the "they're both wrong" message. Basically, they're kids, and they both got a bit carried away with everything.

Remember the days before social media when we’d write our awful poetry in a diary and then hide it under the bed where no one would ever, ever see it? Yeah, I miss that.

I'd have fond memories of the thing that gave me financial independence for life - no matter how much I might've hated it.

Agreed! I had one but I will say, they had finished all the bottles. Not a DROP was spared.

That’s some smooth casting. Now let’s blow this scene.

I hate the “ha, ha, aren’t we cute!” culture of excessive brunch-drinking, happy hour drinking, weekend drinking, making dinner drinking, etc. We all know young people and alcoholics binge drink out late at parties or bars. But there seems to be a cultural attitude that drinking all the time as otherwise healthy or…

There is an epidemic of alcoholism among mothers. It’s a really serious issue that is leading to early death among women and seems to be brushed off by such hashtags, or slogans.

Cheques gave me such life. You think it would have packed the same dramatic punch on The Young and the Restless 25 years ago if Jill Abbott would have Venmo'd her husband's mistress and housekeeper $100,000 to leave Genoa City? I THINK NOT.

Yes! I’ve always wondered if there are scenes on the cutting room floor with more Nicky development.  Why cast a relatively known actress for such a nothing role?  She and Matt Damon also had interesting chemistry that made it seem there was more to their story that was never revealed.

The sole woman among his band of disciples...

I mean I’ve read a lot of novels about men having existential crises and cheating on their wives because they were bored at their advertising jobs or whatever, at least there’s a legit reason for her to go into a spiral.

In the therapeutic sense, forgiveness is about the person doing the forgiving. It’s about letting go of the emotional hold that your abuser has over you, not about excusing the acts or freeing the abuser from responsibility.

I’m going to watch this regardless, but I wish they’d taken the opportunity to set it literally anywhere other than New York. The movie didn’t need a massive city to work, and the tv show would have been a great opportunity for, like, Cleveland. Or some other middle-sized American town. Vampires in New York isn’t as…
