In keeping with the inferiority complex theme above, they are aware that it's exported to the US, so there's that.

This came up before, for some reason. Isis is the second dog they've had, and only just died and was not implausibly old.

Yeah, that's a little far into conspiracy territory for me. Things like Gay marriage, and abortion rights do matter and make a difference in people's lives.

Sure, I'm just saying that NBC has a plan that will keep Grimm on Fridays for the foreseeable future. I'm not saying that it's a good plan or that they shouldn't do something else instead.

Well, past experience with First Ladies in the US is that they are popular with the people as long as they don't hold policy positions.

House of Ring Double Tapping is already in production, I'd wager.

It's not that Grimm might not do better on another night. It's that Grimm is one of the few NBC shows that's been able to do anything at all on Friday.

I actually thought the debate was a return to form for Frank as the manipulator and back stabber.

Well, I thought it was hilarious, and Matthew Rhys didn't seem to mind.

Were there any good old days? Like "Political Correctness", SJW has been a right wing boogeyman used to marginalize liberals for most of its existence. Though, I think some people are starting to adopt and co-opt SJW in the manner of "Yes, social justice is worth fighting for, so what?"

I think in those two instances, he's using #000000 and #ffffff as stand ins for a binary view of race: "This is a white person" "This is a black person" which is a part of what he is critiquing.

She did play Cuban-born, Russian-raised super-spy Anna Espinosa in Alias. I don't remember her getting to speak any Spanish in that role though.

I don't know, Geithner managed to do a lot of damage at Treasury.

With an added dose of "sex workers are inevitably broken and unhappy people".

I thought the "-punk" signifier in cyberpunk (and the earliest steampunk) was to indicate an aesthetic, for lack of a better word. Focusing on things like crime, sex work, street life, etc.

I think you are right about QVC, since it seems to always be included in basic cable packages.

Glad you like the show. Sorry that you can't advocate for it it without being a dick.

I don't think there's a good analogy because the situation was not a symmetrical one. Yes, a hypothetical Vietnamese band could call themselves something like "The Green Berets" and probably piss off some people over there and some people over here for very different reasons. But the Green Berets were active in…

I the majority of Vietnamese would consider the Viet Cong the way the Irish view the IRA, or even how the French view Maquis.
