I saw this at a bar, on a messed up TV, in between ogling some young women and discussing the local political campaigns. It seemed pretty good from that perspective.

Does Patricia Arquette in Medium count?

He ate part of her brain, but not the whole thing. I guess as a newly created zombie he wasn't quite as hungry yet.

I saw Zero Motivation, an Israeli military office dramedy. It was a really fun film. The characters were well-realized, comical yet still believable. It did a good job of capturing the mundanity and boredom of a lot of military life, especially under conscription.

I hope Matthew Rhys gets to act in his native Welsh accent for once, at least.

I don't recall ever fighting a war with the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha…

The writers didn't really endorse her pacifistic approach at all. Rather, they showed the obvious problems caused by that approach.

I don't think Blaine is limiting his crimes to just the runaway kids. Maybe he was contacting the scientist for a cure or more drug expertise? Or maybe Lowell's telling the truth about the funeral home and Blaine was deceiving him somehow. I'm not ready to condemn Lowell yet, but he's given off Troy vibes for a while…

I guess Lowell is the equivalent to Troy Vandegraff, the guy from season 1 who seemed great but was actually a straight-up criminal. His complicity with Blaine remains to be seen, but it should be pretty obvious that the brains he's selling aren't ethically sourced.

Ravi should get himself a bluetooth headset.

Yeah if you told me six weeks that Major's character arc would be the most interesting on the show, I would've been highly skeptical.

Most of what I did was just fixing links, typos, formatting, counter-vandalism and so forth. I was made an admin based on longevity and general trustworthiness rather than in recognition of any sort of good writing ability. I do the same thing on Wikipedia. Supposedly Wikipedia has a ton of politics, drama, and…

It wasn't really one thing. I was huge on the Expanded Universe and grew up as the prequels came out. But I eventually simply lost interest, and started following electoral politics and AV Club-approved television instead of EU releases. The Fate of the Jedi novel series was pretty uninteresting and I gave up partway…

No. I was a former Wookieepedia admin, and owner of about 100 Star Wars books, and I've now left the fandom entirely.

I would go for the former. The prequel has little book-ends that reveal the ending of season one.

I don't think the science comes even close to working for any zombies. Except for 28 Days Later style rage virus zombies, but those aren't actual zombies.

It's not just an ideology, it's also the nation state where they were born and raised, along with hundreds of millions of other people. A nation that is facing dire existential threats.

Yeah a number of professional conservatives, notably Jonah Goldberg of the National Review, appreciate the show because it shows the insidious power of the Soviet Union, and their various crimes. I personally wouldn't go that far, but it's definitely not pro-Soviet Union.

I still hope they make it to August 1984, when Red Dawn was released.

Good lord, that would have been dark. I didn't even consider that, and I've considered some seriously grim ideas on occasion.
