Is it just me, or was there some implication that Whiterose/Dark Army might have been responsible for Elliot’s father’s death? (And I guess Angela’s mom by extension.) That last line in her conversation with Grant (“I’m thinking it’s time he died for us, too”) was hella ambiguous—given the context, it could be…

Funny, but technically speaking, the figure of speech Wombat is shitting all over here is actually an analogy, not a metaphor, since your comment’s relationship to Weinstein and Hoffman was merely implied rather than directly stated.

I have something of a coat fetish myself, which is a lot harder to justify now that I’ve moved from Wisconsin to the Southwest.

There are a lot of anachronistic details that don’t quite ring true in this show (see: Midge’s meditations on motherhood, flashing everyone in the first set, frequent f-bomb drops...pretty much all of her stand-up content/tone, really). Amy Sherman Palladino is way more invested in building *her* vision of mid-century…

Just like Santa. That’s what all you liberal cucks failed to grasp back in the early 2000s—the War on Christmas was just the first step along the way to white genocide. 🙄

Totally agree. And no worries, I binged the whole thing the first day (mostly because I’ve run through all of the other TV on the Internet). ;)

Is it just me, or is this show’s version of Lenny Bruce entirely too mild mannered to be convincing? I know this is an Amy Sherman-Palladino show and all, but that was my first clue the protagonist and her story were pure historical fiction as opposed to based on an actual comedian or some sort of composite. 

Reality check: It’s going to kill plenty of young, poor people, too.

I am a “privileged white American” from a liberal family. I’m currently unemployed, and have been for four months. I dropped out of my English Ph.D. program when it became clear that the changes the Trump administration were making to both healthcare and taxes would make my previous career plans as an aspiring…

I sort of suspect the dealer’s going to pop up again at some point. We sure spent a lot of time learning about him (he’s sexually predatory, goes in for twinks, etc.) to have the character just disappear. I mean, I guess it could just be part of the episode’s larger “movies” motif since Elliot asked his dad to take…

As an actual (former) English professor who still knows many in the profession, I’m calling BS on this. Unless you went to one of those for-profit universities where the *instructors* (important distinction) are only required to have taken six or more credits in the subject they teach.

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about the drug buying scene as another obvious homage to Pulp Fiction (camera angles, dialogue, etc.)

“Easter egg hatched into an awfully allegorical chicken” is great. It really captures the lack of subtlety in so many different shows’ deployment of symbolic imagery.

That applies to criminal charges. Most state employment laws allow companies to fire whomever they want for no reason whatsoever. Most organizations are well aware that failing to act on serious accusations made against an employee by multiple coworkers are opening themselves up to lawsuits.

They don’t really blend in with my skin tone anyway, so yes, I wear them primarily at night. But I’m way too poor and use them way too often to be able to spend $5+ on two dozen pieces the size of a hole punch! My comment was as much for random readers looking for skin tips as for you personally—I don’t think most…

So, I posted this on someone else’s comment but am not sure if I will be ungreyed—just so you know, the pimple patches everyone is recommending are made out of the same material as the blister band aids, but you get a lot less product for a lot more money. I don’t know this for sure, but based on the timeline I…

The pimple stickers are the same thing as the hydrocolloid dressings. You can cover a lot more surface area for a lot less money by buying blister band aids, which are the same material, and cutting off pieces as necessary.

Thank God the dollar is backed by a central authority as stable, rational, and reliable as the current United States government.
