Varga's and Gloria's descriptions of the two possible endings were not especially vivid, but were immediately familiar because we've all seen enough TV to imagine them. Like, I've seen both of those scenes so many times. So, I think the ending is "TV is boring and repetitive. Who cares which of the two canned…

aaaaaa what is my life

Isn't that just rape? Why the euphemism?

That's all fine but the real story for Anglophiles is that The Thick of It is on Hulu now.

Oh ok I thought it was a method they were borrowing from the movie, which would have been more impressive, to me.

At the beginning, each week, we are told that there were some actual events that are now being dramatized. Is that just a bit, or is it true? If it is true, it gives us some sense of the ending, because someone found out the truth. I guess it also depends on the looseness.

I feel this and agree 50%. The other 50% is what I'm projecting as their point of view. You've watched the show. There are two main goals they have: make people laugh and make people think. At a time like this, at least some of the people they're trying to make laugh will have the opposite reaction, because of…

if you haven't already, check out a movie called In The Loop she's very good in that too

The first 2-5 times, I wrote it off.

They've quietly begun pronouncing "Ravi" correctly. I noticed it a few episodes ago and thought it was a fluke or I heard it wrong. But no, and it's everyone on the show now.

It may not be concern for us and our sensibilities that prevents them.

Aren't the netflix Marvel shows a collaboration with ABC? The Defenders would be a really big leak.

These characters had mostly lost their capacity to surprise me. For a real 3D television character, moral dilemmas are interesting. The choice tells you something about the person. On House of Cards, characters just cross line after line. People who don't operate that way are barely on screen. A good contrast is…

From this review, it looks like Mr. Von Doviak is simply remarking on parallels between the political world of the show and our world. Personal politics influence where each viewer will see parallels. Only a fluff show about government and politics wouldn't have any subtext or commentary.

Until just now, it didn't occur to me that the DS9 episode The Visitor owes so much to the episode in the article. The Visitor is one of my favorites.

Remember when Tina Fey stuck her fingers in her ears and "opted out" of engaging with criticisms about race? This is the same Tina Fey. If she swings and misses, she actually didn't miss. It's just that you don't get it.

This does not bode well for the last minute proposal of marriage.

I'd watch Briga Heelan read the phone book so

Frank Underwood is much more subtle. He'd manipulate people you've never heard of to do things you'd never hear about, and make everyone happy while coming out a winner. There might be one person he screws over, but that's already someone nobody likes so nobody cares. I haven't seen any finesse from the Trump…

I was thinking Ishtar though.
