Right. So Louie felt slighted, which leads to the confrontation at checkout which subverts that slight by putting a a spotlight on the attitude that led to it. Its meant to challenge our understanding that Louie was justified in his outrage. At least that's how I read it, and its consistent with other similar scenes…

As I wrote below it would be one thing if he told her he was a serious hobbyist, but instead he said something to the effect that he was a rich guy looking to make a frivolous purchase and it was her duty as a clerk to indulge him even after she made it clear it was an inconvenience.

Louie could have told the woman he was a serious hobbyist and that would have been something else. Instead he told her something to the effect that he was a rich guy looking to make a frivolous purchase and its her duty as a clerk to indulge him. That's a skewerable attitude to me, and clearly to Louie (the writer) as…

Its the definition of entitlement. Louie felt entitled to the clerk's attention because he was willing to spend money.

Ditto. I was on it once when it was new. I early adopt things often. I decided it wasn't for me. Have avoided it ever since.

I'm that guy. The guy who gets people into weed because its a surprise when they find out I'm a smoker. A lot of people think weed isn't for them because of the opinions they formed of stoners in high school or college. Then someone like me breaks their preconceived notions of what being a smoker is, and all of a…

Maybe she's not your type, but she's not ugly and regardless its a rotten thing to write about a person on the internet.

Ugly? You sound like the exactly the type of old white man your strawman wants to see die.

I dunno. If you're a smaller band then the content you're generating for Spotify/Pandora is worth virtually nothing on a marginal scale. The platform is far more valuable to a small band than the small band is valuable to the platform.

This is also my understanding.

Monk was definitely a procedural. What are you talking about?

Nah, Spidey-sense is the more powerful ability. Situational precognition is more powerful than enhanced senses at least from a combat perspective. Peters Spidey-sense allows him to get away with virtually no formal combat training, which is not true for Daredevil.

For the record there are shit ton of non superhero TV shows and movies. Some of them are even good.

"Still, a small screen adaptation of a masked superhero that had the narrative ambition and network support of a Breaking Bad or Game Of Thrones definitely would be a good thing."

Man, I am not on the same page as Caroline's reviews. I disagree completely that Phill's multi-episode pursuit of Melissa consitutes as stale. Nothing about this show feels stale to me. I couldn't care less that the show is taking its time to turn through plot. In exchange we're getting sitcom sized, self contained…

I doubt this. It's technically plausible but there has been no indication that the other characters are figments. Each character has been given consistent personalities with multiple facets, so it doesn't really fit with your characters equals personality traits theory. Also Melissa and Carol shared a non-phill scence…

Sure, liking one movie disqualifies you from liking all similar movies. That makes perfect sense.

I dunno, maybe Toby Keith's Red Solo Cup is actually a secret ode to craft beer drinking only disguised as a celebration of underage binge drinking.

You make fun, but drinking beer from a cup (or preferably a glass) makes the beer taste better (by unleashing aromas) as well as making it go down quicker.

I don't think Red Solo Cups indicate any type of privilege, buddy. I've partied with a wide range of people, rich, poor and inbetween, and It has been my experience, that wherever you find a keg, you're going to find red solo cups, be it the ghetto or a party at a rich kids parents house. I've not been everywhere, so…
