It's a long game in the sense that it will take a long time and require patience to execute. (to earn their trust, or at least lower their vigilance).

And Under the Skin in 2014. So, are we holding steady at two per year? :-)

This is Talking Americans not Speak American! so not a big pro-Trump audience.

But if you actually pay attention to the show, then it's harder to come up with a potential downside for that last paragraph.

“Our bodies are more space than matter. What keeps us solid? Why don’t we dissolve?”

Nerd is now used for this, where a lot of people used to use geek instead.

To get the rest of the episodes, you have to help Niko steal them from the Chinese mob without drawing too much attention from the police.

Also, when has a cable crypto-zoologist found anything? And if they had, we'd probably have heard, it'd be pretty big news.

We know that Shaw didn't do it, but not that such a person didn't exist or wasn't killed by some other Samaritan Agent.

Maybe, if NBC (and Kring) hadn't been involved in that too.

Since Henry is oblivious to the "context" I think you're referring to, I'm not sure how that's true.

There were definitely people who felt that a Soviet first strike was a possibility. Thus all the MX missile nonsense.

If they get as far as Elizabeth's reaction to Gorbachev, and the Reykjavik summit with Reagan, that could cover a lot of this territory with quite so big a jump.

I think POI really suffers from being on network, having to follow a procedural framework and deliver over 20 episodes a year. You can't really be as good as The Americans with those limitations (though the showrunners of POI don't seem to mind).

Setting it during the Reagan administration was a smart move on that front.

I don't think a preteen snagging a beer occasionally is a sign of a drinking problem. Sneaking into someone else's house to play their video games would be far more worrisome to a parent, IMHO.

Just because NBC fucks up an idea, doesn't automatically make it a bad idea.

"R+L=J? Hmm. That could solve a lot of problems for me, I mean, you're closer than you might think!"

Three sendups of pretentious theater in one show (counting the monolog). I had no idea this was such a pressing problem ripe for satire, but apparently it is.

Che blows another joke, that was supposed to be "They don't fire Colin?"
