She says "I love my father" at the end of the show's opening monologue. Also, whenever she says, "You're an idiot," she's telling Nolan she loves him.

I'd like to ask why those captions are placed in such a way that they obscure the subtitles, because the hearing-impaired, I'm sure, would rather know the characters are SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE instead of what they're actually saying.

No one would lament the destruction of Houston. People might actively celebrate the destruction of Dallas.

Remember those innocent days when every pundit opined that none of us would ever be able to watch New York get destroyed on film again?

Man, for a rapper I generally like, Common is really not much of a lyricist. Even when he comes up with a good lyrical conceit, he tends to overdo it or somehow spoil it.

In the sage words of my spirit animal: "Squirrels are constantly getting it on at just every opportunity. Totally unprotected and everything."

Russia has captured no "foreign territories." It has merely safeguarded the liberties of diaspora Russians living under the Ukrainian jackboot.

Y'know, if you're hankering for an MMO on some level, but don't want to have to dedicate your life and soul (don't know you, but that seems to be the reason a lot of people, including myself, mostly shy away from MMOs), you could do worse than Defiance.

I gave up a few episodes back. As this was the finale, I expect they tied a neat bow around their long-running themes:
