That was Martin Luther King's fault. He shouldn't have been born so close to Lee and Jackson's birthdays.

Gore wasn't just in the House, he was on the House Intelligence Committee, although he focused more on nuclear arms control than Latin American affairs.

That's not just a 2012 thing, that's been going on for like 20 years.

This is probably AV Club heresy, but I didn't really care for Toy Story 3. I saw the first 2 in theaters as a kid and enjoyed them well enough, but the third one just didn't resonate with me at all. The slow parts at the end just bored me. And this is coming from someone who loved Frozen and Wreck-it Ralph, and was…

I finished up season 3 of Arrested Development. It wasn't as good as the first two season in my view, since some of the plot twists were a bit hard to swallow, but it was very good nonetheless. That ending was just perfectly bittersweet. It was a (vague spoilers) a great mix of resolved plotlines, character…

Yeah it's kind of a shitty title. It's basically a cabinet position instead of an actual hereditary title of nobility (although who knows how things work in the world of Reign.)

This is quite possibly the most entertaining and fun show on television. Delightful, inspired lunacy. Greer's fiance breaking up with her 15 minutes after he was introduced was crazy enough, but the Henry plotline just gets better and better. Kenna and Bash is something I would've never seen coming in a million years,…

Getting seduced by Nina was absolutely inexcusable for someone at his level. It may not be a hanging offense, but he deserved to lose his job over it.

Leavenworth is only for military personnel. Non-military personnel would go to regular federal prison. Federal Medical Center, Carswell is the closest thing to a Supermax prison for women. That's where former DIA analyst Ana Montes went after she was convicted of spying for Cuba.

The stealth technology was really important for the US and the Soviet Union, because it could allow US airstrikes to get past the formidable Soviet air defenses.

I think that was the same call center we saw in S1E4 ("In Control," the one with the Reagan shooting.)

Cornwall, not Cornwallis. Cornwall is a place, and the Duchy of Cornwall is a real entity that generates tens of millions of pounds of income every year. Cornwallis is just the name of an unrelated family.

I can better appreciate such clues if they're written in an interesting way and rely on real information. For example, 5 months ago they had the clue about Taylor Swift becoming the 3rd female to have 40 top 40 hits, which is a surprising and interesting twist and relies on knowledge of the industry. This one was…

There was no "England" before the Anglo-Saxon migration. England literally means "land of the Angles."

Absolutely not. There's little tying the location to anywhere in the real world. That said, Pomerania is probably a better location than Hannover/Oldenburg.

They did that in the pilot, but that was the only instance. Other times they had Gregory give them cars or stole them or whatever.

I love Arkady, but his reaction to Oleg thing showed some of the weaknesses of that era's Soviet leaders. "Hmm, I'm having an issue with this employee. Oh, I know the answer! A lecture on Marxist values and the humble origins of our beloved leaders!"

I got the impression that Phil was deliberately starting a fight with Martha. He wouldn't be undisciplined enough to complain about hair in the sink and stuff except by design.

Dickie telling Raylan to disappear up his own butthole was more entertaining than Ava's entire stay in state prison.

I finished up Veronica Mars on Sunday, then watched the movie on Monday night. I was pretty thrilled, but I envy people who watched the show years ago, waited for years as the film went from aspiration to reality, and then saw it opening weekend in a busy theater. That kind of prolonged communal experience really adds…
