“While we care about contraception, let’s be clear, all we’re saying is we don’t want government to mandate when we have to have it and when we don’t. We want to be able to make that decision,”

The episode literally rebutted what you’re complaining about. Joel points out his fencing isn’t going to last without trading. Murray points out that they don’t just need to survive, they need to live, and that includes things like paint, strawberries, and contact with other people.

Quite possibly the most unbearable, soul-crushingly beautiful, love stories I’ve ever witnessed.  My wife, step-son and I sat in complete silence at the end for a good minute....

That was not only one the most beautiful hours of television I’ve ever seen, it’s also about as close to perfection a love story is going to get.

She managed that as Lyanna Mormont in GOT, too - she was the best thing about that season and one of the reasons why I was looking forward to this.

While a very small moment, Ellie knocking the hands off the clock made me laugh and continue to appreciate how well Bella Ramsey sells ‘sarcastic and genuine kid’ which is a really tough needle to thread. It would be very easy to make those two sides of Ellie feel like they did not mesh or were forced but she’s…

They nailed this episode. I went in expecting a fairly strict adaptation of Bill from the game: a loner curmudgeon with a chip on his shoulder who helps Joel find a car battery.

Frank, in the final stages of cancer

Now we’re wringing our hands in anguish over Hitler jokes?

I cannot wait for the documentary on this shit show.  It’s honestly amazing what’s happening with this fucking clown.  Hard to believe.  

Listen, I remember how dramatic everything was in high school and lord knows I “protested” over some hilarious things, but like someone needs to gently tell these kids to chill out.

I mean why not at this point? The truth doesn't matter anymore. 

Nothing says “save the babeez” like a handlebar mustache and trucker hat.

Everytime I hear about these evangelical assholes comparing abortion to the Holocaust, I like to bring up Dr Gisella Perl. A true hero who saved countless women and infants from torture and death by performing abortions with her bare hands in Auschwitz. She’s called a murderer by useless fanatics like these. She…

Well, that convinces me! I had been dubious, but now I can’t wait to put assholes who don’t respect property rights, rules of order or anybody else’s time in charge of my bodily autonomy.

Something tells me those two chodes have been hiding in closets their entire lives.

I think his resignation was probably inevitable, considering how massively that situation was mishandled, but will it be sufficient? That’s a really, really good question. My old school district had a terrible administrator, and things did get a great deal better when he retired and a new guy came in, so it can make a…

That’s awful news. I have no doubt Julia Garner would have been fantastic in this role. She has shown excellent range as an actor: down-on-her-luck pregnant L.A. teenager, murderous trailer trash, con artist of indeterminate origin and more.

I’m sure they’ll shake it off.

We shouldn’t be critical of Pete removing tattoos. But the act of getting them in the first place (during the first months of dating) is still a target though.
