I do have affection for Middle Earth, and I recently made it through the Silmarillion in prep for this show, but I have to admit how empty I find this world to be. I mean, it’s pretty and magical, but there’s no deeper meaning. There’s evil in the world, and mostly people don’t feel like doing anything about it and a…

I thought it was her, too. That’s not an insult; they’re just very similar-looking women.

Moffat has been consistently underrated. He did a lot of heavy lifting in skits and his Eric Trump was amazing. I’m sad to see him go.

I mean, it was a close election, and any one of the many things that happened could have thrown it the other way.

Maybe he’s got a Dorian Gray thing going on with the women he dates, but it just doesn’t work that well.

What are you talking about? Of course I voted for Hillary. She was very qualified. She just ran a shitty campaign at the exact moment in American history when the Democrats could not afford to run a shitty campaign. There are books on it. I recommend “Shattered” by Jonathan Allen.

I thought this WAS Wonderman.

Yeah, I didn’t get it. Like hey, Hillary, you fucked up big time, and you lost the election. Go away.

Sounds like a cool guy to be around right now.

Everyone I know upset about the show is upset that the female dwarves don’t have beards, because that’s literally the one canonical thing we know about them. But they’ll probably still watch the show.

Wait, there are podcasts that are NOT true crime podcasts? I thought that was the default setting.

Wait, Munch left?

My dad used to go to those conferences all the time. It was actually fairly normal at one point for doctors to be wined and dined by drug reps. A lot of my childhood was taking vacations to places where there happened to be a medical conference because my dad would have the trip covered for him (and sometimes mom) to…

Best moment in the episode.

If he was sentenced properly he probably would have done the time and been out by now and we wouldn’t be writing articles about him. Not that someone can’t still be dangerous even if they’ve gone to prison, but the basis of our justice system is that if you’ve done the time, you should at least get a second chance in…

Look, I get it, blue no matter who, but I can’t help but be disappointed in how little Democrats did to protect abortions rights when they had the chance (many, many chances actually) and how now they’re clamoring for my money over it.

I’m sure there are Iraqis whose understanding of the intersection of gender and identity could be deepened. And it’s certainly better than blowing their houses up.

This is a much higher rating than I would have given it. And to be clear, I think season 1 was one of the best TV shows of all time, but it’s been diminishing returns since then, and of the finales, this is the worst finale. Lots of scenes not connected at all, lots of random things happening, bad pacing, leaning on…

I’m saying no crime was committed. I’m saying that without hard evidence or testimony from the victim, this would probably not go to trial. There’s a reason Miller hasn’t been charged.

True or untrue, the accusations came from the parents, not the potential victim, and that makes a huge difference. A kid (or former kid) making accusations of sexual assault before they were the age of consent, now THAT’S not something you can come back from. But that’s not what happened.
