“her daily life looks somewhat similar to that of a regular person”

Maybe...if all the “regular people” you know are super-hoes like these four, trying to find meaning in getting a picture with a celebrity—a truly pathetic quest on all levels.

It’s certainly not particularly funny. I appreciate the experimental nature of the work, but would not be surprised if many viewers feel alienated. Nature of the beast.

“(Which is fair, because where do the act breaks even go here?)“

Why do you include summaries as part of your reviews? Do you expect people who didn’t watch the episode to be reading this?

And she thinks she deserves that for...what? He pays her bills. She’s a prostitute with delusions of grandeur. “I don’t want to be introduced as a babymama! Even though I’ve never done anything else but get knocked up and expect the father to pay the bills and todance when I say to dance!” She should ASPIRE to…

I sat in front of the television shaking my head and saying “oh, man...there’s no way anyone can defend this”—then I come here and read “maybe a little over the top, but...” and it gets a grade of B. What can I say?

Not a fan of his acting or anything, but can you really directly connect the dots between him goofing on some particular reality show tramp and being racist? It’s not like one has to be racist to do that. Or is your real anger about the kneeling-for-the-anthem thing?

Oh yeah, Laura, with the attractive actress. That is a decent guess, Dr-Awkward. But even if it plays out that way, at least the Saviors aren’t always about to cry during their conversations with one another!

Another guess I saw a few people put forth was Sherry, but I can’t imagine Sherry would get in Negan’s car…

“another real-world burn in elliptical form”

Yeah, take that, all roughly-150 Nazis in the American viewing public! Actually, Suhayda’s group is definitely fewer than 100 and New Order has so few no one gets outed as one, so it might be even fewer. Hardly worth a line.

Man, at least 75% of this episode was people doing shuddering-about-to-cry face at each other. Weepy, maudlin—and they’re leaning into it. What has this show come to when the writers want us invested in how much Garbage Woman misses her dead monosyllabic garbage friends? These were bad guys who betrayed the heroes!…

“Remember all that time we spent with the white supremacists?”

Not exactly. Did those characters ever actually say anything about race? I thought they were just against Keane’s politics. The fact that none of them seem to have been “in” on the Russian plotting supports this.

“Wow, you suck at the crappy version of something I’m good at—we have so much in common!” No. This is a competitive subculture, so it doesn’t quite work out that way.

The way you felt reading Penn’s “satire” is the way those of us with our heads on straight feel when we see yet another AV Club article with anti-Trump stuff senselessly crammed into it to no end.

“That was a huge missed opportunity, not least of all because Brett Dalton deserved to be in the show’s 100th episode.”

Agree 100% that would have been a nice touch. I’ll just imagine that the Hive fears were really a visual summation of Ward-related issues.

“Individual people may often have good intentions, but soldiers are trained to check morality at the door.”

That title means he has a financial interest in the show. That’s what it means, and all it means.

Must be so great to fantasize about you and your dead dad having a laugh over taking away my right to bear arms. Fortunately, you’ll both be burning in hell long before anything like that ever happens. :)

True, in that the Clintons really did a number on it.

Those are fine and inspiring words.

From this movie, I learned: Mark Hamill is a movie star. I was never sure he was one while he carried so much weight in the original trilogy—as successful as the overall package was—but he is one now.
