I understand all of the individual words in that screed, but for the life of me, I can't actually comprehend what it's trying to say.

At least this is such a spectacular failure we know it has to be rock bottom. It cannot conceivably get worse. It can only be a wake-up call for us to do better.

If only my great-grandparents hadn't happened to be in Yemen on business when my grandfather was born, I would technically be entitled to Portuguese citizenship.

We aren't actually one unified country. We are two very, very different countries, in a trenchcoat, and the one on top just shat itself all over the rest of us.

Pence is a more soulless monster than Trump could ever be, though. Pence is an eldritch void of humanity walking around in a weirdly colorless skin suit. President Pence is not something to hope for.

Oh good, it's not just me.

Well, double dumbass on you!

Actually, I think what happened was that her face got crushed by a falling pillar or something in the episode where the ferry crashed. But that's exactly why her face looks weird to me too. Like, I know the actress was presumably not really in a horrific boat wreck and her face is not actually the result of soap-opera

Tea Leaves gave us Ginsberg, though, so I forgive it just for that.

To be fair, if Peggy were all that deterred by cheating, she wouldn't have banged the very married Ted. But yeah, it doesn't seem to bode well for Steggy.

Having a million dollars would be awesome, but if it required having to be married to Don Draper for any length of time, I'd have to pass.

It's fine. 'Taint no thing.

I read that as "gun blemish," as in bullet holes riddling the pavement, and didn't bat an eye.

Sendhil Ramamurthy's attempt at what I guess should have been a Tamil accent in the first few episodes of Heroes was definitely awful, but at least they had the good sense to realize that early on and have him just switch over to that sort of RP English accent for the rest of the series. He seemed pretty good at that,

John Cho's appearance on 30 Rock as the Canadian meth dealer is still one of my favorite little guest star moments. "Oh, I'm sorry! Where are my manners? Would you like to try some crystal meth?"

Yeah, I feel invested enough in Megan now that I want to see what happens to her whether it involves other major characters (particularly Don) or not. A year ago, I would never have expected to care about Megan much at all, let alone actively want to see more of her.

I was one of her biggest detractors at first, but not because I disliked her as a character—I just felt like the writers were using her all wrong, giving her way more screentime than a new character should have, at the expense of established characters who were getting shafted and deserved better.

I was considering watching this in the hopes that it would be some creepy, demonic Pet Sematary shit, but if there aren't any small children hiding under beds slashing the tendons of elderly men, I think I'll pass. Nice to see Foreman getting some work, though.

I wonder how much of the show's reported budget difficulty can be tied to having to pay Karl Urban's salary. He was the big famous draw that got a lot of the initial viewers, including myself, watching, but it took about an episode and a half for him to become one of my least favorite things about it with his boring

Michael Ealy was an inspired choice to play an android, because he really does look just a little bit too perfect to be organic.
