Yeah, but he also left some pretty big clues as to HOW to fix it, what with Nancy all but screaming "THIS ISN'T TERRORISM!"

Also, they spent pretty much the entire season after the creation of Florrick Agos displaying how gigantic a financial risk it was for Alicia. Yes, the firm is clearly established now, but I wouldn't be surprised if she's only just now getting everything paid off.

That's pretty apt. It's even got a strand of Fellowes' "The landed gentry are always right" politics.

It's all part of the same thing. Seuss and Tolkien (and my personal choice, Vonnegut) were better writers BECAUSE they were better people with a better sense of how the world works and what their place in it is. Being a great writer- at least one who actually touches a lot of people- necessarily requires being a bit…

Well, and part of the reason she's got so much consistent ACV love is, let's be honest, she's a second tier celebrity. I love Peggy Olsen, but she's the second most important character on that show, and probably the third or fourth most attention-getting.

Yeah, Paul always seemed to live the most in the "real world", which is what always made him seem a little more artistically "compromised". But then, it's also what made "Hey Jude" so timeless.

There's been an element of smug-douchiness to Murdock for a long time, though. Bendis' run was kind of all about how untouchable he felt. And then there's the scene where the publisher tells him he knows he's Daredevil and he's happy that he's finally going to get what's coming to him (or something like that). In…

It's got unstable molecules in it.

"Heaven forbid someone who deals with crime ever face the stark harshness of that"

Not sure how much there is to explain. I don't remember why "being Daredevil" was a criminal offense (given that the 616 legal system pretty clearly allows masked vigilantes, at least tacitly) over just that FBI guy's vendetta, and given how monumentally poorly it went for them last time they arrested him, maybe they…

It was going along fine (minus some sketchy character work) until all the Avengers finally reconciled. Since then, it's been nothing but dodgy cosmic foofery, with one pretty keen reveal.

I dunno, that line is so clearly metaphorical that you could take it a lot of different ways. Pretty easy to see how that line and "The Impossible Girl" fit together.

I probably phrased that poorly; Kurt wasn't the caricature, the other .01%ers were. Kurt was just the entry to that world. Bottom line is, it's weird for a Kurt-plot to be like, "Yeah, every shitty thing you think about Republicans? It's actually WORSE."

It was an odd step, because generally, the purpose of the Cole character is to tell the big city liberals who watch TGW (if any do; I dunno, but the creators clearly think they do) that, hey, calm down, Republicans and guns aren't *so* bad. But this time? Nope, full blown caricature.

Let's see, given the general nature of the show…

There's been some hinting that Peter was still sleeping around before Alicia shut down their emotional life. But I don't think they've confirmed it, so, yeah, reluctantly, I remain on Team Peter. He seems willing to play the game by whatever rules Alicia lays out.

But Senators do often get major party nominations, which is really the most important thing in becoming President.

Also, some words and phrases simply come across differently when written as opposed to spoken. It's hard for me to imagine that many Vonnegut books wouldn't be fundamentally unchanged if they were spoken to me.

I can grok that, but it's an internet comment section, there is simply going to be some hyperbole.

No, but that's not as big of a step down as it sounds.
