What a mess. Alasdair and others nail it with the point about all the stakes being undercut by lack of emotional, psychological or practical consequences.

She couldn't show up because Kevin doesn't know she's dead.

Right? Once you materialize in the middle of the desert in an ancient pyramid, hack every form of clock on the planet, and convince the world's leaders they must consent now or die, you win. The only reason the Doctor defeated them was because there really was a world-threatening danger. Had they just made up the…

When the Doctor said the Earth will be as dead as the Moon, he obviously meant that the Earth is also a giant egg. Canon!

Yeah, I want to love this but I'm a bit hazy on how this simulation is supposed to work.

The Voldemort line was my favorite.

That joke reminded me of Todd's time in jail on Bojack Horseman: "So, kind of landed myself in a two-dates-to-the-prom situation. The dates being prison gangs and the prom being a jump-in…. I agree with the Latin Kings on social issues, but fiscally I'm more of an Aryan."

Not to mention, due to the incessant lies and fearmongering of the GOP about government taking over the health care industry and death panels and rationing and etc etc etc, Obama was speaking in general terms about how the ACA would have little direct effect on most people's insurance. He was baited into an accurate…

Varga is a crass, tacky, physically repellent, Russian-connected swindler who makes his money by horning in on other people's businesses, gleefully engages in alternative facts and warped reality, and scares upper-middle class Midwesterners into aligning with him against all their better judgment by raising the…

It's cause he knows the Departure was caused by those Reapers from Father's Day. You can only mess with history so much before something like that happens.

Well, that is how it goes in the source material (the Book of Job I mean).

But I don't know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs! Who else am I supposed to call?

I thought season one was two-thirds great and then utterly collapsed. Season two was a marked improvement and worth watching for the high points alone (especially International Assassin) but I didn't love it the way many around here did. But season three has been phenomenal. The tonal balance has been perfect; they've…

I like to think Malvo and Varga are mythological feuding brothers. I know this won't be confirmed but there's textual support of a sort: They've both referenced the concept. Varga at Emmit's house with examples from the Bible and Malvo with Remus and Romulus during his little speech about the danger of wolves. Wolves…

There are two ways I could imagine answering the question:
1) I don't know. Exploring hypotheticals may be fun, but how can one be sure how they'd react if the scenario was real? People are not always the best predictors of their own behavior.

Or Pete!

I read it as Bill not wanting her friends to think she was sleeping with him. Between helping her move, being overly familiar and implying he was staying the night I think he was giving that impression.

I guess I'm in the minority on this one. Bill was great as usual but this was the most bored I've been with an episode in some time. There have been worse episodes to be sure but they at least provoked a response. This barely kept my attention.

Not only did Lisa Renna design it, she owns it in all 17 colors.

I believe Jimmy would get a percentage of the damages from the Sandpiper case. And cases like that could take a very long time. Years. I wouldn't be surprised if Gene hears about the resolution of the Sandpiper case in Omaha and thinks about how often his shortsightedness and impatience worked against him.
