“ American Auto, whose hilarious 13-episode second season began on January 26.”

This show is not “hilarious.” It’s almost funny. Almost good. And while watchable, with this cast and creator pedigree it should be loads better. Still giving it a chance, but it’s wearing out its welcome quickly.

One of the things that’s so great about this show is that it doesn’t follow the same “zombie movie” tropes that so many other movies and TV shows do. When Frank shows up at Bill’s compound we’re trained to think he’s just acting nice but will eventually be a bad guy, but he’s not. When Joel and Ellie make it to the…

“The Last Of Us sets itself apart from the zombie genre in many ways...”

Yeah no they’re zombies Druckmann. A zombie isn’t a just brand of fantastical monster, it’s a mindless husk of a human lumbering around and responding to animalistic urges. I don’t care that they aren’t pop cultures familiar zombies they’re still the lumbering around mindless monsters. I know this is a crappy example…

They aren’t zombies in universe. But this is, to all intents and purposes, a zombie apocalypse story in the same way that I Am Legend is. Physical attacks, infections, isolated survivors, paranoia, the fall of society - all the hallmarks are there.

The mining/oil companies, ranches and farms in Wyoming are more than happy to use socialism in the form of subsidies, BLM/public lands and sweet heart leases from the eeeeeebil Gub’mint, however. 

Acknowledging that would have also further justified Tommy’s reluctance to go with Ellie.

yeah I mean if you are able to suspend disbelief for the zombies I think forgiving gas realism is a pretty low bar. 

Didn’t she say she was an ADA? If so, that’s a job you can get right out of law school (and pass your state bar), usually for the DA you interned for. So closer to the 24-25 year old range outside of exceptional cases.

Soviet and Communist aren’t synonyms by a long shot. 

My heart gets filled with joy imagining how the people who have been complaining the show has been “woke” due to LGBTQ+ characters will react to this: the world as people knew fell apart at lightspeed after, due to the Capitalist way of suplying for demand, global market distribution of goods facilitated the…

Uh.... No.

I’d like it around 5 grand, throw a buick 3800 SII in it and comfortably cruise around in color.

There are certain old cars that, when you see them, are almost always some level of fright pig. People long ago stopped caring enough to keep them nice. And then one like this reminds you that even those cars were once shiny and fresh, with a proud owner. It’s jarring and kind of fun to see. But it’s not $14K fun.

Stop using mental illness to excuse being a hate-filled asshole.

Yeah as a Canadian I can also confirm that we do not in fact want, nor would we accept, either of the Dakota’s into our fold.

“Is this the way?”

A heartwarming post-apocalypse drama? Yes!
