I just realized that one of the reasons I really like Dean is that David Hyde Pierce played him in the movie.

The Mikey thing was truly selfless though. I was genuinely moved. I don't think a lot of people have the heart to do something like that.

*"What the fuck do I do now? Do we cut?" face*

I wasn't usually sensitive to that stuff when I was young but even I could tell there was something really off about it. I still saw it about 5 times though. It was on a lot.

Thank you! He looked familiar and I thought he might be astronaut Mike Dexter but yup, Gaylord Fletcher.

I feel like the bots might be a Russian thing to make him seem more popular than he really was (before the election) and then I guess it would look suspicious if they just disappeared? I actually buy that Trump doesn't know anything about this. I don't think he wants to look at it too closely. It would be

That makes it even weirder, and probably funnier in the writers' room.

Poor Susan.

You are doing the right thing. I had to tell a kid at the library that yes, technically there IS a Superman 4…….

Yes. She has my feminist seal of approval, for what it's worth…

Yeah, that was my first thought too. (Everyone is going to take my idea!) Eventually I came around to the idea that the more people who have it, the better!

Margaret Atwood. She doesn't shy away from how awful we can be to each other (while still writing beautifully about our more positive female relationships). She has a quote in an essay somewhere that goes something like "We cannot be truly equal until we acknowledge our equal

I was really worried for a moment that the commander was going to hit her at the end.

I hate to say this, since she had no choice, but Serena Joy looked lovely in teal. It looks nice on lots of people. Wear what you want. Plus (unfortunately) not enough people are watching this show to make the connection. Hell, I finally pulled the trigger on the "nolite te bastardes carborundum" tattoo I've been

Yeah, it seems a little out of place with this vision of the commander. He seems more like an optimistic true believer.

That's a good point and I'm sure you're right. I guess I've been thinking lately about how rape and sexual harassment was perceieved in the 80's. I was watching Broadcast News the other day (last saw it maybe a decade ago?) and Albert Brooks straight up mocks a piece about date rape because he doesn't see it as

That's right! Well Kelly AuCoin was really nice.

I'm really glad it didn't originate with someone saying "It's all good, man!"and Jimmy going "hmmm." It was nice and subtle.

I can see him actually having a wife and kids for appearances. "The family man" look plays better, even though that thinking is offensive on so many levels.
