She's a regular customer by this point, and she just mentioned her son. So it seems likely she would boast about her daughter with the medical degree at some point in the near future.

I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned Live Free or Die Hard.

Yeah I had some major problems with Daybreak, but moreso with the execution than with the core concepts. Whereas it seems like some people write off the entire last two seasons.

Eh, people complained about the divine aspects of BSG, but that was part of the show from the very beginning. The second line of the first episode was, "God has a plan for you, Gaius. He has a plan for everything and everyone."

Traffic was horrible throughout the region. Partly because of the cherry blossoms, and partly because someone shot himself near the Capitol and they closed down a bunch of roads.

Yeah the Maine is pretty much the only US warship they would ask about between the Civil War and World War I.

It's pretty remarkable that Todd getting shot in the face, fleeing for his life, and slowly getting strangled to death probably won't even crack the top 5 most brutal scenes.

It's exclusively on Amazon Prime.

To be fair, Jane the Virgin also had insufferable previews and an incedibly dubious premise, and it's delightful.

I dunno, he's pretty elusive.

Actually, they continued the practice long after Justinian II's reign. They just switched from slitting the nose and tongue to blinding.

Trailer doesn't have any significant spoilers as far as I could see. As for a new Veep, they would appoint a new one even if it was only for a few months. Selina's party doesn't control the House of Reps anymore, so they wouldn't want the Speaker to be next in the line of succession.

The contestants are apparently unfamiliar with the 2011 Onion article, "Obama Turns 50 Despite Republican Opposition"

Even if you do have upper middle class parents, an ROTC scholarship or service academy stint is a great deal. At 22 you can have a degree, a career, a government clearance and an unspent college fund.

What's an un-boot?

The logistics hit me more last season, when they were operating in Norfolk, VA. That's like a 3 hour drive from Falls Church.

As I saw it, he only intended to tuck her into bed and sneak out of the house. So to a large degree he was glad her dad interrupted them.
