You don't have an offensive bioweapons program until you have mass vaccinations of military and an infrastructure for selective vaccinations/quarantine in place in the society. The US may have one now, after the Cold War. The lurid nonsense this show peddles should have become a terminal embarrassment for everyone

An attorney is working class? I know this is AVClub, but really?

"Any Republicans?"
"Two reformed."
"Excellent."

Or it could be me. I was confused in the theater about what she was doing. I just knew it was brave, bold and kick ass, like she'd been all through the movie.

Who's "McLovin?"

Houston, yes? I had trouble making out the radio dialogue but here was something about safe zones and about taking back the sea board (which I guess includes Houston but not Baton Rouge.) Judging from the lightning effects, she was off to the wars instead of wimping out behind the lines at Baton Rouge.

The moment Michelle sees that woman poisoned by the air trying to get into the bunker, she and the audience knows for a fact that aliens or something equally bizarre is on the table, no matter how off Howard seemed to be. If you'd been paying attention you'd have caught that long before the ending, which wasn't much

Somehow everybody, including me, has forgotten to mention a key point this movie shares with The Hunger Games: The importance of fashion design.

Didn't see Cloverfield and don't care about marketing, so not contaminated with those issues.

Taylor going to prison for killing someone is not a failure of justice.
If this season of American Crime was about a failure of criminal justice, this outcome undermines the theme. No, school shootings and workplace shootings are not particularly about bullying. People shot in schools and workplaces have never been

This strikes me as talking up literary notions instead of trying to address real life. Eric's belief that he didn't rape Taylor isn't a truth. The physical damage to Taylor is a truth, though, as was the public humiliation, which proved the incapacity was a truth too. One aspect of what is deemed Literature is not

The policeman says it's all going to stop with him. Michael, sorry, I just don't believe him.

Perhaps I've misunderstood the last scene. I didn't read it as Eric making another of his hook-ups. I thought Eric had his duffel bag with him and his was skipping the jurisdiction. I expect he'll be trading for his ride. And very likely for everything else in his life on the streets.

The question is, where did Leslie get the copies of Anne's medical records? Perhaps it's just me, but I think the nearly certain answer is, from the cop who sensibly handed it over to someone who could be relied upon to publicize it, rather than directly dirty their own hands. Leslie leaked it to the public, but it

I'm afraid that the ads have convinced me that the late, lamented Kings, a modern dress version (but not real world,) did it so much better.

Not saying shit like that out loud is precisely why professional film critics shouldn't be taken seriously.

To me it seems obvious that taking the settlement, which means trashing any lawsuit on his behalf, already said that she was putting her family above him. Coming to say this to his face is like reveling in badassery. As I say, it's certainly understandable that a binary view of straight/gay would lead her to feel

And they said you can't hear the sarcasm on the internet.

In my opinion, Leslie ignored the photos, not just the evidence that something was very wrong at the party, but themselves acts of taunting. She tried to run off Taylor with a long suspension. She inveigled Coach Sullivan into a mockery of an investigation (so she could say she had it investigated,) knowing full well

The only "speculation" is that the cops were competent enough to take a blood sample. Sorry, I don't see that as a stretch.
