Watching late, I know.

“This episode does a lot, and while some of it works well, the simplistic, ripped-from-the-headlines storytelling it sets up for the show’s final arc is disappointing.”

So...

"…a lot of Hillary stans who suddenly love progressives" You mean black people and women? Because, as an outsider, what I read and hear by "bernie bros" usually sounds a lot like mansplaining

Soooo. Bob didn't hand over that crown, then…

This show NOT tackling this was starting to get weird. It did, and it was awesome. I cried little tears.

Come on! It's Myrna

Soooo… Full Frontal is weekly…

"…where all the lords of the North—as well as the wildlings AND LITTLEFINGER with the knights of the Vale—declare Jon Snow the King In The North"
Except he doesn't. Not at all. At any moment.

CERSEI 2016. FUCK THE FUCKERS

It is, but it's also true that both Roslin and Adama (more the first than the second) derive their authority from such law. If I don't remember it wrong, Zarek actually challenges this at first.

And the first sentence it's not a "look at me, I wrote a paper", but rather the explanation for why I have such a looooong opinion on this episode

Must say it… I wrote a paper about "The Captain's Hand". It IS a complicated subject, but not the one the author says it is. The subject matter here is not abortion, but the state of exception. There was a law that of the Colonies on abortion, a law that Roslin even defended. But, does the old legal order still…

I guess he'll be extracting salt?

Oh! And he thinks Vanessa Ives being a free woman is alright because she's high class, while she shouldn't because she's rabble. She should be obedient and not make a fuss…

So, why did Lily treat Victor lovingly? He's a man that literally thinks that a woman's body (her body, mind you) is a thing for him to use. He wanted to imprison her in his lab to be his sex toy. He lied to her about her identity to get in her pants. When she saw him from the window I thought "well, he's dead now",…

It's an academic term rather than a buzzword, really… It's what agents have

When she was asked "what's worst than murder?" I couldn't help to think "Two murders?"

Well, he would readily recognize that "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth"

"While the rest of the characters seem trapped in the worst versions of themselves…" Well, as far as LILY goes, the AV Club certainly doesn't like revolutionary violence…
