There's a difference between connecting with voters and selling snake oil.

Fair enough. That said, the matter of what specifically Gavrilo wanted to eat that day feels like getting bogged down in details. He did go to that deli, Ferdinand's car did stall right there, Gavrilo managed to shoot Ferdinand and Sofia.

I just rewatched and he definitely says "First World War".

Which Hulk?

I get it, it's a slippery word. "ver-" is notoriously inconsistent in meaning, and English may not have any equivalent prefix in this case.

On the Origin of Nerd:

Oh, it has to be painful to you.

Our elementary school had a special ed class, so when the school played the "Peter and the Wolf" album at a school assembly, at the end right before the bit you quoted, they turned off the recording and the special ed teacher chimed in: "and the duck flew out of the wolf's mouth to join the celebration". Apparently…

Ray died the way he lived: too bull-headed to listen to sensible advice and practice some restraint. That has to be intentional.

The thing about Gavrilo Princip and WWI is absolutely true by the way; it's why, on those occasions I mention WWI to my friends, I call it "The War of the Baloney Sandwich". (I don't know what exactly Princip ordered, but if someone had merely given him a baloney sandwich on the street, that might have forestalled…

It will never happen, but I want Archer to retire to flipping burgers with Linda and the kids. Pam can be the local handiman who spends too much time at the restaurant.

Yeah, I noticed that too about Krieger; I decided to roll with it, because the alternative was to demand that the show hire a native German speaker to write a few lines of dialogue as well as coaching Lucky Yates on his German pronunciation. It was still close enough for my tastes.

"but it’s also not even kind of recognizable as the goofy spies-and-detectives show I fell in love with"

Sure, but Camera Guy keeps using it and that's odd to me. Maybe he just likes to sit and I'm fine with that. Or maybe Jimmy likes him to pretend he's got disabilities. Still, Panos the Wonder Child was mostly wheelchair-bound, and not just faking I think.

To this day I'm astonished that Karate Kid didn't end the whole thing by kicking Darkseid in the head.

Well yes. I still think it's hilarious that Daxamites chose to start their invasion in a country where people love lead-projectile weapons more than they love their children. The Daxamite invasion should have been a farce with "Yaketty Sax" playing in the background as every policeman, gang member, and Snuffy Smith…

You're right. And yet, the role of lead in our society and our public policy, and the fact that it's underreported, makes it worth mentioning even under flimsy pretexts.

Kara Zor-El (the original who died in CoIE)? Kara Zor-L? Mae? Linda Danvers (merged with Mae)? The other-universe Kara Zor-El who showed up mid 90s? Current Supergirl? All of them seem to be junior, lesser versions of Superman. None of them are regarded as the equal of Superman.

Dick Malverne? Comet? Her neighbor John Ostrander?

Also, if Alex is not only continuously employed at the DEO but its second in command, there is no such thing as a "loose cannon".
