ETA: In retrospect, this post probably comes across as strident or at least pedantic, which is not the reply that Chris Adams' thoughtful and courteous post above deserves. For that I apologize. Rather than try to edit it further and make it even longer and more off topic, I'll just add that the more pointed remarks…

If you really want to reduce unemployment, you should lower the retirement age and encourage people to retire.

As I understand it, an impending hurricane of catastrophic proportions is a situation where the President would have a free hand to move money around freely to address the emergency and patch up the accounting and allocations later. So, the coercive element of that episode that ended "DC Works" didn't work for me.

I don't think it's about the state, I think Kiva is just one of those St. Paul partisans who really detests Minneapolis.

Hey, it works for inflammable.

I look forward to tales from the Westeros space program in season 43.

I couldn't get it into. And turning the psycho brother into a troubled prophet figure left me cold. I preferred him as portrayed in the movie, a psycho creep who would have been the villain of the movie if they had just picked a different bar for the rendezvous.

Yes. My point was, they are useless as ordinary props. We only see them when they are about to break or almost break. They actually did that again in the latest episode, although at least they are back to using just comically large stemware.

Wasn't there a whole discussion when the episode aired of whether or not there are places that sell uncut pizzas as their usual thing?

Gilligan was a sincerely good sport about it.

That was in Jesse's house, not Walt's, so we (or at least I) don't know that the owners of that place are an elderly couple.

Don't we know that Jack wins because we're all here, not living under Aku's domination? Or are we?

He's been quieter about a lot of that stuff the last few years, but he had a recent episode on his show that demonstrates his opinions haven't changed.

One of the more British parts of Luther was that he would spend the last 15 minutes or so of every case confronting the killer in the style of a true London detective, completely unarmed. (It got silly eventually, how often that happened).

It's not solely a liberal or conservative thing, but it is a Maher thing. He has some nutty ideas about health and medicine in general, and vaccines in particular.

Certainly, most men would rather be "hung" than "hanged".

Basically. You could argue that once she decided to make the condemnation, she had to tell all or Petrov would use her role in the suicide against her, but it still muddles the issue and makes her look negligent and incompetent.

Definitely what they were going for. Just didn't work for me.

I anticipated Corrigan's suicide, not because I thought his character would really choose to do that, but because it would be a "shocking" development the writers wouldn't be able to resist.

I had the impression that he felt his own life was the backstory of a supervillain. He wanted to find a superhero to be his archenemy and in filling that role at last find a purpose of sorts to all his suffering.
