So what we're arguing over is whether the movie's pro-eugenics message is explicit or implicit?

But they own property.

The thing about Rodney Harrison calling out Kaepernick is I don't think he was questioning Kaep's racial credentials in the sense you are describing. I think he really didn't know Kaepernick has a biological parent who is black, which is weird.

I think the women's pay line was meant as over-the-top comedy rather than any political statement. As in, Earn is broke as fuck so of course his girl is invoking the sisterhood in a situation you wouldn't expect just to shame him to spend more. That's just my take.

I like how this edgy hipster #hottake—subtitles are too much for you simple-minded Americans!—gives away the fact that you haven't even watched Narcos, thus exposing you as the phony simpleton.

She is more sympathetic on Narcos than in real life but not at all innocent. Remember, it was her who told Pablo to fix his problems for good before he began the murder spree that included the wedding. She's not only enjoying the spoils, she's also complicit by cajoling Pablo to do whatever it takes to protect them.

I read it as he was moving his son out of danger and also that he didn't think he was fit for street work. When Martinez got the job he didn't want to transfer his son from Search Bloc because he said it would hurt the son's career. But after the close call with the soldiers he realized that shouldn't be a…

I think initially the AG was only concerned with using Escobar to damage the presdient politically. But once Escobar explained to the AG how his family was being used as bait, the AG genuinely was morally opposed to the president's methods. At least that's my read of it.

The title is a reference to the Escobar family's flight number to Germany, no?

Just thinking off the top of my head remember several good stories in standalone eps on The Wire: Kima gets shot, Fuzzy Dunlop, East vs West basketball, school kids ambushing their rivals with piss balloons, kids getting revenge on asshole cop, Pryz Herc and Carter starting a riot at the towers, Sunday truce, Dooky…

It can be read both ways. I think that's intentional and hilarious. He was genuinely happy that Charlie showed an interest in his personal life because his colleagues never do. He also tried to diffuse Selena's wrath for Charlie.

Yes but she's also insecure, stressed out and on a professional high from working with Dan to win the recount. It makes sense that she'd want to hook up with him in that moment. That feeling will pass once she finds out he fucked her sister instead of her. His explanation that he did it to help his career will only…

It's so spot on I'm assuming it's the show writers. Fantastic stuff.

From Howard's perspective what Kim did wrong was to vouch for Jimmy, who subsequently made he and the firm look bad (a consequence that Kim repeatedly warned Jimmy about). I agree Howard took her "punishment" too far but I don't think he's consistently been a dick. I believe he was being sincere when he said he…

Howard has shown humanity and at times surprising warmth. The only real douchey thing was to leave Kim in exile after she got Mesa Verde. But even that was mitigated by his genuine admiration for her going into solo practice and also forgiving her loans.

They threw in that "redacted" line to make Reyes seem not as dumb, but it just added another reason why the entire courtroom story and her characterization during it are insanely stupid.

This is spot on. Most absurdly, she just sat there looking distressed as Murdock basically gave his closing statement while questioning a witness. This from the DA who had been portrayed as super competent, sharp and ruthless pretrial. I'm not even a lawyer but the cartoonishness of the trial is off putting. Poor…

He built a jail so I guess that's something?

I think a more accurate analogy would be "I'm a vegetarian, except when pigs are the only thing left to eat." Because, yeah, it's in your best interests to live.

Agree so much on the BB finale. (SPOILER?) The penultimate ep is how I preferred Walter White's fate: alone, disgraced, pathetic. Hated by his son. He did not deserve any satisfaction in the end.
