Down, down, down…

Picard's a thumbs down. A thumbs down, and it's pointing at a butt. Kirk all the way.

Judging from the book, it's about teaching people who accept but don't really understand the details of evolution, not necessarily converting nitwits.

Nope, he plays the harpsichord in the books. And the theramin.

And the snapping next to the ear.

I think he was lying, a, because he is more curious about Hannibal than anything, and doesn't know exactly what he wants to do (he always seems so confused in any scene with Hannibal) and plus, maybe he's a little shaken by what Will said about him being marked and doesn't want to do anything to antagonize Hannibal,…

I missed the user name and thought you were being craaaazy racist.

I once got into a really bitter argument with someone after they posted a Facebook poll, "The Eagles vs Talking Heads." Their argument against Talking Heads was, they heard a cover band once, and they didn't like them.

Charlie + Dee is maybe my favorite pairing. I believe they said at one point that they put them together because she's the only person who can keep a straight face when Charlie starts improvising.

Man, Franco Moretti is really shaking things up.

I don't think so, since they only did that because Ian Richardson was sick of Urquhart getting away with everything with no real consequences, and if the show ended when that stopped being realistic, it wouldn't make it past episode 3.

Well, when Michael Harrington wanted to say he used Marxist framework but didn't want to call himself a Marxist, he said "Marxian." Maybe we can reverse that: you're a Christist.

Social justice people use it a lot too, actually. It's weird how in certain ways the two sides' vocabulary overlaps.

"People who have integrated the word "aesthetes" into their daily vocabulary? Also hipsters."

They wouldn't make that joke about N—-ers, but I have heard/seen white friends make a comparison to the "Washington Darkies". (Should I —— that too?)

Haha, I can't read.

I was more thinking shows that had a more large-scale decline in the reviewer's opinion, but that is a good point.

Has any other show fallen in ratings so fast, from an A- to an F in four episodes?

I am! Sorry, Dowd.

Ignore me, what I said was covered by others.
