A heads-up that the nonsense David the red cap-wearing "God" spouted should be taken seriously: The title of the episode after the next one (which is "Certified") is "The Most Powerful Man in the World (And His Identical Twin Brother)." Is there a parallel in the show to the alternative story of Jesus he told Matt? If…

Yeah, this show does require mega-doses of suspension of disbelief, especially when it comes to accepting the little that characters either tell each other or just plain notice. One thing particular to its set-up that helps wash this down is how myopic each of them is about their obsessions, such that it kind of makes…

Am I crazy, or are Matt, John, and Michael still the only ones besides Kevin himself who know he essentially defied death 2 or 3 times?! (I guess his dad is kind of in the know, though he seems unconcerned with details). Like do Laurie and Nora just know about his "hallucinations"? But that can't be right, what about…

Ok, I skimmed most of that article, but it got tiresome and felt disingenuous right out of the gate. Those kind of journalists make their living writing about the same handful of topics day after day, with slightly different twists — or twists within twists, in this case — to make themselves stand out from all the…

It looks like you're probably right:

Well said.

And the beginning of "Moonrise Kingdom."

Right, but, as most of us understand by now, with this show Hawley (backed up by the executive-producing Coens) is folding together elements from all the Coen brothers films (as well as new things that fit their tone), something that I think he's done masterfully.

Yes, but with the Russian henchman's dissertation on the 3 kinds of "truth," those opening statements that on a whole new kind of meaning, especially in this particular American moment in 2017.

That's the quintessential Coen brothers MO. How deep is the Marge Gunserson character in the movie? Not very. It is her aw-shucks puzzlement in the face of a slew of increasingly bizarre characters and events that makes it what it is, and the same can be said this season with the twins and Gloria.

I thought of the GR when Nora just sat there smoking, as the sink fire burned and the alarm sounded. I think the showrunners definitely wanted us to consider those glomming onto the radiation machine as being in the same ballpark of desperate magical thinking.

Commenters on liberal sites (SFGate, PortlandLive, The Atlantic, etc) are often predominantly conservative, sometimes seemingly earnest proselytizers, sometimes clearly trolls. This doesn't mean the majority of their readership is of that bent; it simply means that demographic, for whatever reason, is more inclined to…

Clearly, this will be the big reveal at either the mid-point or end of the season (series?) finale. The question above all others is what long game is Doug and/or Ben playing that might include the return of #RealAdam? Because, of course, it would be beyond the pale if we were treated to yet another scene of a young…
