Karl’s the king. Watching the background players struggle to keep up with the Roys is my favorite part of the whole show. 

I guess Marcia isn’t around enough to qualify for this list but my god does she fit right in with the rest of this family.

What’s consistently amusing about all of the kids is how they think they’re scheming in ways that set them up for the top job but lack the intelligence and planning to actually make it happen, then immediately scurry back out of sight when Logan inevitably outmaneuvers them. I agree with Shiv as the most awful exactly

Willa is a Roy and is playing the long game. I’ve a feeling she is going to bring this all down somehow. And Marcia? Top 3 at least.

By “financial opportunities,” to what is she specifically referring? Would they be enough to make up for the target on his back that comes with supporting a trans child in this political climate?

20 bucks says her local Starbucks server is tired of saying “I got a Vanilla Frapp for Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain, POW and hero of the Vietnam War?”

Who exactly is pressuring her?

She lies. Nobody is pressuring her to take Ozempic unless it’s her troll husband. She’s just looking for attention and has an article quota if she wants to keep her serious job of writing gate articles for a British tabloid… because no American tabloid wants her.

Given the last couple pictures, I don’t think I want Ms. Lily’s opinions on hair or fashion either.

I was gonna say, this is The Ringer erasure.

The episode literally rebutted what you’re complaining about. Joel points out his fencing isn’t going to last without trading. Murray points out that they don’t just need to survive, they need to live, and that includes things like paint, strawberries, and contact with other people.

The Rick and Carl from the first few seasons could’ve made that work. Maybe there’s something to be said for characters with more baggage unable to pull that off. But agreed that TWD just didn’t have the chops most of the time, especially later on.

To give TWD its due, it did have more characters to juggle as well -

I loved the nuance of Bill showing his feelings for Frank in really vulnerable way in the bed. You can tell his is utterly terrified not about the sex but the fact he is really opening his heart for the first time.

Disclaimer: I haven’t played the game.

Same. Who would have expected that the best episode so far of HBO’s prestige zombie show would have been the one with almost no zombies?

While it was overwhelmed by the Bill and Frank arc, they did a nice job of having Ellie-as-teen show up in ways bad (the trip to the Cumberland basement and pushing Joel’s patience) but also relatable (the excited comments of someone who has never seen an airplane, the video game, and the seatbelt.)

I loved when Bill giggles in pure joy at the taste of the strawberry.

You are all wrong, NWO was a Hulk Hogan/Scott Hall/Kevin Nash thing.

Murray Bartlett is such a chameleon, he looks totally different in seemingly every role. No way you can convince me this guy, the White Lotus guy, and the Chippendales guy are all the same actor.

As a queer person, I didn’t read it as a Bury Your Gays at all – they didn’t die because of homophobic brutality or tragedy, they died because they were old and content, it’s really the most beautiful, sweet, and sad episode of TV I’ve seen in a long time.
