I am also old, which is probably why I got the reference. The Soviet Union fell when I was in college. I don’t think it would be as much common knowledge now unless you are a student of Russian and Soviet history, which is fair. There are many things to know about the world, and it’s hard to keep track of all of them.…

While Peter Riegert has had many roles, I suppose he will indeed always be Boon.

And that is pretty much why Roman is Roman.

A “dacha” is a summer home or cottage in the Soviet Union. Members of the party who pleased Stalin might be awarded one, although they might be executed the next year. It’s a tricky game trying to please despots.

This is more likely all be part of the long con Mencken mentioned when he met with Roman. Mencken loses this one, but ATN creates enough confusion and distrust that he rides into office the next time around.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but “calling” an election does not actually, you know, determine the winner.

The scene was hilarious, but thinking about it the next day, did Greg intentionally take Darwin out? We went from a “pending” call with Darwin going live on air to explain his reasoning to outright calling it with no Darwin explanation during the course of the scene. It was a very plot-critical eye injury.

It’s a dick window. There is no way we are not supposed to see it.

Glad to see “Cold” ranked so highly. I have always been especially fond of “Push”, but it’s all good. There are no bad Cure songs, at least none that I can think of. All hail Smithra.

I’m amazed people are expecting these things to be accurate. They’re docudramas. They’re meant to pass time, not educate. I am sure there are many other inaccuracies in every single one, but somehow the race of the protagonist is the most important.

Well, to be fair, lots of people Americans identify as black have very light skin. 

I’m just wondering why there is not more outrage about “documentaries” claiming that the pyramids were built by aliens. That seems far more offensive than anything having to do with skin color.

But anyway, my point is that this article paints the relationship as consensual. For the most part it was not. 

Have you been watching the same show as me? Shiv was HORRIBLE to Gerri when she found out about the dick pics, just like she was horrible to the rape victim who was planning to testify before Congress. It’s not that Shiv and Kendall are fine with it, they are happy to use the situation to their own advantage. Only now…

Because she works for a highly toxic organization. I’m sure you noticed the way Shiv treated her. Shiv used Gerri’s own harassment against her. Even Roman had to ask his dad not to fire her (before he did fire her, that is) for committing the crime of receiving pictures of Roman’s dick.

Gerri was only into the sexual part of their relationship briefly. Then she starts to date someone else who Roman continually threatens. Most of the dick pics are unwanted. Gerri tells Roman this explicitly. She is being harassed, and she can’t come out publicly because 1) it will make her look weak, 2) she knows she…

Am I the only one who has noticed Roman’s fashy haircut? Surely this can’t be an accident.

Willa. Is. The. Best.

No, but come on. They’re gonna.

Indeed, but they have scripts in hand. It’s hard to say how many drafts these scripts already went through, but they were approved for filming. Unless major re-writes are called for during filming (like, something really, really doesn’t work once they start filming), there are not likely to be major changes. Writers…
