Blaming words themselves rather than how they are deployed is a mistake. As is the notion that negative attitudes towards something stem from how they are described.

Well, one thing Jesse has in common with Jesus: They both got screwed by the getaway driver.

That was a quality drug bonanza scene. Experience was talking there.

The very last scene was good, but the rest of the episode was a bit of a bore,and didn't seem particularly coherent.

I think he was supposed to be following Hector, with a desperate determination to take him out immediately, before he kills his dad. As far as he was concerned, he was out of time. And was ignoring texts etc.

Big-Head would be my spirit animal, but for the unfathomable luck

"That said, the sight of a white woman lecturing a black one about anything is always going to feel gross."

Flailing indeed. And the 'Easter eggs' don't make it better. It feels condescending at this point, as though hoping simple familiarity will compensate for a lack of cohesion, and warm us to random 180 degree turns.

Yeah, I bet you get that a lot.

His point is that principles of gender equality wont be achieved by belittling men. Quite clearly.

The reviewer would be a better analyst if she didn't interpret every moment the piece focuses on a male character as an affront to womankind. And also to have some empathy for (edit: or at least desire to understand) their struggles.

I haven't read the book, but I don't know why everyone thinks Luke is 'filler'. We thought he was dead, and he isnt ("how" was a cliffhanger last ep.). Ánd we get to see the outside world.

This whole series feels like "Children of Men 2: The Yanks Are Even Worse"

That would be far better, dramatically, socio-politcally and commercially (it could graduate to some early GoT - level intrigue, and semi-fuedalism is at least something that the two universe have in common).

Fair enough, but the reason I think it won't happen is a) i don't see the writers introducing other sympathetic communities as agents without them rising up in unity and b) I think they are establishing Negan as Ricks foil, and I don't think they'll pass up an opportunity for Rick to be humiliated in victory.

I haven't read the comics. Its just predictable from the set-up

Dont we already know the ending here?

Everyone talking about the "AMC Gremlin", but I'm too young and mechanically-challenged to realize they weren't just being mean about one of the actor's appearance

Yeah, but we've been told not to trust 'memories' e.g Bernard's son dying in hospital

Another reason I think Ford is a host: who else wears old-timey clothes like that in the 'future'?
