My one complaint about this show, and it is a minor one, are that Narek and Narissa have had basically the same expositionary scene four times, four episodes in a row. It’s like this weird holdover from pre-serial broadcast television; checking in this week on the villain’s evil plan...yep, it’s still the same. Making…

I feel a little bit bad about this (perhaps because of that “likability” mojo), but I’ve never actually liked him in anything until Westworld. He was never bad, just there was something sort of bro-ish and vacant about his mien which never was covered by a part.

The anticipation of glee is exactly why this will never happen. Besides, the US political apparatus has demonstrated conclusively it is unequal to the task of holding bad foreign actors to account such as Putin, so what does he have to fear from them?

I consider that more an effect of The Newsroom than the actors therein; that show made absolutely everyone their most annoying self. Pill was great in Scott Pilgrim and Snowpiercer.

On Federal Hill in Providence there is a very decent Chicago Deep Dish restaurant called Sicilia’s, on Atwells.

He’s also, y’know, dead.

I’m still mad at her for the DNA debacle (I’m Native)

This is a helluva undersell, and not least because you are ignoring/softpedaling the needle he had to thread as the first black president. The opposition party declared their open intention to make his term(s) a shitshow of embarrassments and frustrations, and he still prevailed with at least one landmark program…

Having actually worked that job (only at a Cumby’s rather than a 7-11), I can testify that the chances of a cop interrupting an actual robbery in progress (which takes, on average, about 45 seconds) are approximately zero; only slightly higher than the average John or Jane Q. Winchester’s chances of being in the right…

Usually this claim is taken in light of the fact that the EU didn’t spring de novo from the minds of European diplomats in the early 90s, but rather is a one more step in a continuous trajectory towards union that started with the European Common Market and EEC, and was broadened by the Schengen Agreement. In much the…

That exponent being ~1.01, or thereabouts. You radically understate the level to which misogyny is internalized by women in American society.

He was trying to impress a date, apparently. It was clearly in the pre-put-a-ring-on-it-so-you-can-stop-trying phase of a Trump relationship, while he’s still moving on her like a bitch but before the grab.

You know the timeline you’re in is dark when you can see clearly the darkest timeline from where you sit.

“The ol’ Kentucky Two-Step, eh, Jack?”

< peeks again > filling the Judiciary with unqualified hacks.

Honestly, after this performance of yours here, yeah. It’s your fault. Paranoid and whiny isn’t a winning combo. You seem to be talking loudly and clearly, so you’re not so much silenced as offended that other people don’t see things as you do, and trying to transmute that into oppression is a sick joke.

Dino Ironbody said “[Adaptation] still wouldn’t affect the comic.”

Your original incredibly silly contention was that adaptation and derivative work outside the direct control of the original author somehow degrades the original work. You have done absolutely nothing to show this is the case, and instead merely piled on overheated rhetoric and generally acted like a child. Not…

How dramatic! How about, heed or ignore the original author’s opinions and extratextual comments all you like, but it is a foolish author that believes they can control the public context of their work. Some insist on trying anyway, and end up being a bit tiresome in their vain desire to control what became beyond…
