There's just no drama in plodding DUST pursuing the protagonists. It's a material so easily dispensed with.

The central conceit of the show is our interest in human decisionmaking under unique, novel and extreme circumstances. That one particular decision is dunderheaded isn't much of a critique. If anything, it's an exploration of the limits of human creativity and industry with suboptimal resources.

No I don't remember what happened to Jack Sparrow, because I never watched the films and they don't share a common REALITY with TWD.

I didn't write the fucking thing, I'm just saying that it's grounded in humanity and reality to try what they're doing. Could be the stupidest idea ever, but then so was new Coke.

It's DEBATEABLE, because it's two competing strategies still grounded in the laws of physics.

At least it's a debatable plot point [recall, the zombie population was growing exponentially, and big item barriers like semis were on the verge of toppling].

The plot point is that 'Jupiter' has deteriorated to the verge of 'planetary collapse' and is too close to collapse by the time of its discovery for them to muster the resources to bolster it.

Don't pretend that there are 'rules' that exist.

enough napalm on a human body and you're left with carbon dust. At the very least, you can reduce them to brittle disconnected chalky bone.

Just a bunch of East Coast elites pointing their zombie herd towards flyover country and hoping for the best.

If I come across a pit filled with 1000s of zombies milling about with the pit barriers about to degrade, I'm on an all out search for napalm rather than building a giant zombie bumper pool table.

Don't know why the reviewer is so dismissive of the Howard v. Cary storyline. They're clearly setting this up for a strong comeuppance regarding just how powerful a sleepy old fart Chicago machine attorney can be when scorned. Look for lots of painful favors doled out by entrenched power on Howard's behalf.

JDM's haggard growl in the interview. What a great character introduction.

He is a fan of hil-ar-ity. Occasions novelty shops and everything.

Each and every single Coen brothers movie is worth watching at least once. A couple are almost cannily deserving of watching multiple times even if the first didn't delight [ie, they have a way of growing on you, seriously]. The overwhelming majority you will rewatch and rewatch out of sheer joy.

I'll take a pack of Red Apple.

I didn't blame anyone for the loss of my legs, some Chinaman took them from me in Korea but I went out and achieved anyway. I cannot solve your problems, sir, only you can.

To be fair, PSH's flustered response is the engine for that roar.

Good eye, that's Jon playing melted Colin Hanks as extra.

Odd considering it could fill in as a preview for 'next week on, O'Brother meets Barton Fink!!'
