You'll throw the toaster into Trump's bathtub, one hopes?

Yeah, and really nobody thinks that. It could be instinctive, arguably, but there's no way it's so deliberate and shrewd as to be "masterful". Trump is prone to being overanalyzed simply because people assume there has to be more to him, when there just isn't.

That's not a completely uncommon trait in politics, though I agree Trump operates at an advanced level compared to most. Watching Sean Spicer keep trying to re-explain how his "Hitler didn't use chemical weapons" nonsense was actually correct (and making it worse each time), instead of just sacking up and agreeing it

They had lost you? But then un-lost you? What did they write that got you back?

That works, Queen Chrome-Dome can be her inevitable heel-turn supervillain name. Though it still won't prevent critics saying she's nothing but a Lena Luthor ripoff.

Ugh, really? Most of the time I was watching those episodes, I was thinking how much less annoying it would've been if they'd cast Roger Rees from Warehouse 13 instead.

How in hell can Prison Break not be on this list, when the show so completely lost track of its own premise (and forgot its title) that it ended the first season by having them escape from the prison?

Stephenson has a serious Third Act Problem, I've long maintained. His books often completely unravel at the back end. The only two I've read that avoided this trap are Cryptonomicon and REAMDE. (The latter has sort of the opposite problem, where the action is still going full-bore when you're 20 pages from the end,

If she starts calling him "Perfesser" I'm out, though.

Also, two tears with a smile is "crying with laughter" (whereas without the smile, it's bawling), while one tear is always sad-crying.

I'm waiting on a "shite", personally. That'll be Bingo for me.

Perhaps she's going to San Fran Cisco.

Although, of course, what it actually does is not cloaking, since it certainly sticks out. Then again, it's not really being a "chameleon" either in the biological sense, although it's more accurate in the colloquial sense where we use it to mean "a changeable or inconstant person".

So you're saying Eleven speaks emoji? "Of course he does." #FullCircle

Kill The Moon. At least the fucking Doctor fixes things there, no matter how stupidly.

(That could also explain why, for instance, the Doctor only gets one badge. The Vardi definitely recognize that he only has the one physical body, even though for the purposes of nutrition there are dual life-form readings being detected.)

Well, don't forget, the Vardi don't actually understand anything about lifeforms except for what they've encountered, and then interpreted from that. (Sometimes very, very misguidedly, which is the entire setup for the episode.) They almost certainly don't have any genuine understanding of what "pregnancy" is, as

Oh, come on. "Kill The Moon" is definitely still the worst piece of crap they've ever done, every time it tried to cough up something resembling the "science" of what was going on it sounded like it'd been written by a second-grader. Who was failing science! (And that one was written by the same guy who did the next

Ayup. NYC just spent US $4 billion to drop one of those bleached bird-carcasses next to the new World Trade Center tower, as part of the restoration of the adjoining "transit hub" (subway station, It's a glorified subway station with delusions of grandeur) that was destroyed in the 9/11 attack.
