Read This: For male TV commentary writers, those hairstyles in the picture are all the same.

I think it's especially egregious since it threw a lot of the laid-back vibe under the bus in the rush to set up all of those cliffhangers in the last few episodes. If most of the stuff from the finale had been saved for the second season's premier, there would've been a lot more breathing room for characterization…

Backfire effect.

I think, generally, you have to hope for winning over the vague, unconvinced Trump/wall-in-general supporters. While die-hard Trump fanatics aren't going to watch this and wouldn't be convinced if they were, it could sway undecided voters, traditional republicans trying to find a "lesser evil" between Trump and a…

Yeah, it's a pretty widespread and well-documented phenomenon called "the backfire effect." Basically, if your belief in something is strong enough, factual evidence to the contrary not only won't change your mind, but will leave you more set in your original position. While people are all-too happy to bring up…

The biggest worry I'd have about becoming famous is someday maybe having to talk to Bill Maher without punching his face clean off.

Honestly, whenever anybody says the other side has the burden of proof, I just think of them as a huge fucking baby.

I get that we're joking, but even as a joke you should never answer that with anything but Cappadonna.

Yeah. The best part is they "The IRS has issued a warrant for your name." Like, they actually say the words "your name" every time, like a sitcom joke about an actor who doesn't get what brackets on a script are.

I think it's actually a big twist, and Iggy Pop is the good twin. He's definitely the nicest, more earnestly friendly famous person I've briefly interacted with. I tried to jump on stage at an Iggy Pop concert, and he was helping to pull me up, basically in a tug-of-war with the security guards trying to pull me down.…

The biggest change I noticed from last season was a massive step up in fight choreography.

I like Foggy when he's in light or funny scenes, but Foggy angst killed the end of last season for me. I think that was a combination of the acting and his anger at Matt just not being a conflict I could really believe or care about.

I like that this conversation is working both a discussion about what makes some gruesome horror deaths more satisfying than others and also as precedent for using various conjugations of "to grid" as a scrabble word.

Spoiler alert, the dude named Loki is Loki.

That was kind of built into the Cube franchise even more than most, I think. Like, the original really did a good job of building tension and making its characters insufferable people you wanted to see die in a much more real, organic way than a lot of horror movies, but its thesis statement was basically that scene…

I haven't seen that much of the show, and am not from Portland, but from what I've seen Lance is the most familiar character and character I get the most. I did know a fair amount of bikers and/or car guys when I was coming up, and Lance is definitely reminiscent of a "type" in that kind of world. There's a kind of…

Hannibal was going to be my personal equivalent of that comic about how the guy pirates Game of Thrones because it's easier than finding a way to watch it legally, but when I looked into the depths of my dark, festering heart, I saw I was too lazy to even pirate it and so never watched it. So maybe the problem was not …

Yeah, true.

Yeah, this is generally my perspective. I think the problem others have stems from a weird idea that any given critical perspective implicitly believes itself to be the only perspective. I think, in part, this is a consequence of humanities disciplines often mocked as "bullshit" swinging the pendulum too far the other…

Especially considering that, if real life politics are any indication, it's super easy to sway people to your line of belief, pretty much regardless of what that is, by spouting it in their vernacular.
