No, he wasn't.

It's a 1970s edition of Albert Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus"

I was so relieved that the air horn wasn't deliberate sabotage by a disgruntled kid, or some other character wanting to blow up the settlement. In a less well written show, it probably would have been.

Other nations have all the same problems you list, yet they are not having epidemics of gun violence. What they do not have in common with the USA is an armed society with very few meaningful gun controls.

Why not? The USA already spends 50% more per capita on healthcare than those European countries that do provide healthcare to every single citizen. It doesn't have to be the best, and it doesn't have to be completely free (both straw men you knocked down), it just has to be good for all, and it just has to be…

I thought Noah did just fine his first time out. The key to being a successful host is to look like you belong there — i,e, being confident and relaxed — and while you could tell there were a few jitters here and there, I have very little doubt that he'll settle in quickly enough. I can see what they saw in him when…

Not surprising though. People are tuning in to see The Daily Show, not to see the Trevor Noah Show. It was the smart thing to do, and assuming he makes a successful transition, which seems likely, he's got plenty of time to make the show his own.

He's reportedly earning less than he was at Comedy Central — for now, anyway. The fact that he's going to be interviewing politicians, tech industry leaders, and other more "wonky" people than the other late night shows is cutting edge for network late night talk shows.

Maybe Trump will open up about the tragedies of his failed marriages…

And yet…those of us who stuck with it to the end will miss it a little, won’t we?

Not going to happen. Too much of the CBS viewer demographic would hate it.

I was pleasantly surprised by how Colbert Report-esque the show was. I guess I shouldn't have been, since the comedy beats, timing and subject matter are his, and not unique to his previous show. It was probably a little too frantic/frenetic for my tastes, but that might be just first night ebullience, and I really…

For the most part Falling Skies is just a better show than UTD all around (apart from Pope's recent scenery chewing transformation, which is an abomination of a plot development), and perhaps the fact that they knew this was the final season helped focus the script writers' minds somewhat.

They've already admitted to one so…

It would take more than that to turn this craptacular into Extant — like script writers and directors who actually knew what they're were doing. Under the Dome is so ridiculously bad it makes Extant look Emmy-worthy by comparison.

That final scene was awful, and completely out of character for the time and place it was set — i.e. before the public was aware that the zombie apocalypse was upon them.

Don't ya think.

So we have the WWE to thank for SyFy realizing how much money can be made from cheap television shows with terrible acting.

And yet it's still less incoherent than Kevin Sorbo's Andromeda… but only just.

Yep, letting them out would kind of defeat the premise of the show, no?
