Ugh.

And what about Jocasta?? Talk about an oversight. She was the complete package.

I was going to argue that Mallory Archer should win for getting her son out of every scrape he gets himself into.

Agreed! Charlie's mom's OCD, and her passing it along to Charlie is one of the funniest, saddest things about the funniest, saddest character in the funniest, saddest show.

I'd really like to see a treatment of police brutality/corruption that focuses less on the antihero cop and more on the institutional culture that fosters and protects abuses. I loved The Shield, and as a drama, I wouldn't change anything about it, but the Rampart scandal wasn't the result of a rogue Vic Mackey, but a

Ghostbusters was, of course, meant to be a scathing critique of feminism and the then-nascent emergence of the emasculated beta-male.

I know, I know.

Unless he agreed…

You with your logical thinking!

I worship you Aqua Buddha, for giving Rand Paul the only brief discomfort he's felt in his whole smug life.

I have a question and am hoping to crowdsource an answer:

Television programming for a PlayStation?? Take that, Atari. Better watch your market share.

Nothing can ever tarnish that memory…

I didn't get that at all. His dad was maybe not super bright, but seemed genuinely caring and decent.

Apart from his willingness to commit murder, the thing that separates Fisk from Matt is his lack of existential angst.

It's striking how Oedipal the two main characters' (Fisk and Matt) narratives were. Well, not the mom-boning part, just the dad-killing part. Both have to kill, literally or symbolically, their father in order to transform from Fisk and Matt into their more transcendent identities, Kingpin and Daredevil.

Thus marking the first time in history that Bob Pollard has been called a "good influence."

In my area, I can think of five fatal police shootings in recent memory. One victim was white. Three were mentally ill. Four were unarmed and one was armed only with a knife. No officer has been charged with a crime.
