Cancel Colbert?

And then sadly, the actor died.

I haven't seen 20 yet…but I think I have a guess as to the big motivation of Frank this season.

Ugh. The much talked about emptiness of this show has always bothered me, maybe even more than it bothers the AV club. But I've never articulated it.

It made me want to puke. I guess that's a good thing? It was certainly visceral. There was a similar moment, in Breaking Bad, when I decided that Walt was irredeemable in my eyes. It was the thing at the end of season 2, if you've watched the show. This is that moment, for me, with FU.

I put this comment on episode 8 accidentally, though I meant it as a summing of the whole season:

So maybe he's gay, not bisexual. But the only time he's experienced that kind of intimacy is with this guy in military school. He doesn't want kids because he's repressed all love in himself. I mean, I know he loves Claire in a way. Or respects her deeply, because she wants something similar to him.

Why is it always the starlets who are vapid?

That's a wide brush you're painting with.

Not totally…you need some sort of charisma.

All impressions kind of are one thing….

The big boomer subs are limited by food supply. The nuclear fuel they carry could keep them out for years.

I thought his season was going well, until this episode. I hate the governor/Brian character: he's trite, boring, rehashed, bland room temperature tapwater. Nothing about him merits this much plot attention. He doesn't learn from his mistakes, which is of course a larger problem for the show. Real people get stuck in…
