I'm glad you guy are covering this now, because I have one very specific and petty complaint I've been meaning to air. I've never worked in journalism, so maybe it's a thing in that field. But, why does this show treat "the board" like some sort of everyday oversight group? I initial assumed they were execs from…

What about that cop that Oliver dated? McKenna I think?

Yeah, Sam does say some pretty terrible stuff to the women, but it's most noticeable in episode 1, when we don't realize how miserable he is. I mean, he still comes off as a horrible sexist. But, when you read about what his IRL inspiration did, and he seems like a boy scout.

I don't follow wrestling, so until these reviews I assumed Chavo Guerrero was just a name John Darnielle came up with. So, that blew my mind. Now I'm going to find out what else in that album was a reference to real people/places.

Once upon a time Canvasback Duck was the meat of choice of the American elite. You can probably guess how that went.

Interesting point about shit eaters, pigs and tilapia have in parts of human history been fed primarily on waste, and remain edible and in one case delicious.

The Sons of Jacob are the radical group that take over the US and create Gilead. It seems like Nick was recruited fairly early, in his flashback it looks like it's still the US. The Eyes are the secret police.

Yeah, but all of that stuff is being provided by the Eyes. We don't really know enough about Mayday at this point to know if they have that level of organizational sophistication.

Good catch on the timeskip last episode, so I guess the question is how much time passes between the day when they pass the law about women not being allowed to work, and when June and Luke tried to run away. No one Episode 3 seemed to know who the Sons of Jacob and their unofficial army were, so presumably their…

I believe the cutoff is anyone currently under 35. But don't quote me on that, because I'm still not sure who is in charge of defining generations.

I actually learned about this show in the comments on the AVclub Hannibal reviews. I still can't believe people didn't talk about this show more. The review mentions Firefly a couple times, but I still hear people complaining that Firefly was cancelled. I can't say I've ever heard the same about Wonderfalls(outside…

Even better was how Jared then started talking about how she was probably in love with Richard. Zach Woods's ability to act truly sincere is magical.

I think that comment was just about his(Dan's) past with the Pied Piper gang. He didn't want his fiancée to know the reason he got blacklisted in the tech world.

This bullshit has gotten so bad that the parents just wrote an op ed in the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost….. It boils my blood that, beyond the covering their ass legal retraction, Fox is going to get away with this. Their viewers will only remember the story not the retraction, and the "Seth Rich…

But, you have to give Furlong credit for how seamlessly he transition once he learned who she was. Classic Furlong, a bully to those beneath him, an obsequious toad to those above him. Truly the worst kind of person.

I hope we see more of Furlong's wife, that whole dinner scene was gold. I especially loved the PG version of his normal banter with Will. Also, Kent is apparently dating a deaf Spanish woman?

Maybe Veronica was so scarred by what happened to her father that she feels the need to have a pawnable source of wealth on her at all times. So, if she ever needs to slip out the backdoor during an FBI raid she will be prepared.

How has no one mentioned the fact that once she put her pearls back on Veronica didn't take them off. Not even when she was(presumably) having sex with Archie. I thought that was hilarious.

I want this to be true, if only because it would bring Josie into the adventure squad antics.

Counterpoint: Bernard Cornwell's Arthur trilogy is great. But, while it is both gritty and (semi) realistic, it definitely preserves some moments of spectacular over the topness.
