It seems impossible, but I've heard from multiple sources (including someone who used to work with him) that Hannity is somehow a decent human being when he's not on camera. I'm not sure if I buy this, since he's such an asshole on his show. . . but if watching the comedian Andrew Clay Silverstein turn into "Andrew…

I don't know that Fox News can afford to take on someone who's even slightly pro choice.

I don't want to feel sorry for him, but every time I look into his eyes it's like looking into the eyes of Maximillian at the end of The Black Hole. It's almost like he can tell he's trapped in his own madness and fear, but can't seem to escape from it.

Exactly. Critiquing this show for failing to highlight the horrors of Soviet totalitarianism is like critiquing Breaking Bad for glossing over the horrors of addiction. That is: it's accurate, but it misses the whole point of the show.

Vader was toying with him for almost the entire duel in ESB. If you watch closely, Luke only managed to actually strike him once, when he was in a frenzy of rage after Vader bragged about how he had killed Obi Wan.

Because he sucks at using the Force. He thinks he's a powerful Jedi, but he's just as likely to be a powerful Sith. The only times he's ever used a lightsaber with any real skill was when he was filled with hatred, and drawing on the power of the Dark Side.

It might not be that predictable. . . it wasn't clear in the theater, on first viewing (especially since I was 10), but Luke's training was a disaster. He failed every test, and disappointed Yoda at every turn before abandoning his training before it had really even begun.

Oh, man. Be grateful for that. If I remember correctly, that series contained almost 20 books.

Maybe. . . but it isn't just these stories. I realize that UAL does well on a lot of objective metrics, but it seems like every time I fly with them -in either cabin- I have a problem.

Depends on how much cheaper and how hated. People don't just shop on price. For now, at least, United is in the popular imagination as the airline that will sell you a seat, let you come to the airport, let you wait on line for security, drag your stuff through the concourse, wait on line at the gate, shuffle through…

I'm only about halfway through the series, so I'll reserve judgment, but this feels a bit like the time the A-V Club completely missed the boat on Stranger Things. That is, they dismissed writing as sloppy and unintelligent because they failed to understand the actual story.

And also, up to par for what? This show? Carl is an annoying character, the Wesley Crusher of TWD, but I think the audience's irritation at the writing for Carl is spilling over onto the actor. He's as talented as the rest of the cast (i.e.: good enough to sell the insane writing and possibly better- we'll find out if…

Exactly. Plus, they're quiet. Not that Shiva probably needed a rain of gunfire to cover her footfalls, but it surely helped.

It's seriously getting out of control at this point. I can almost see Noah Emmerich giving an interview where he tells the Actor's Workshop something like:

The same logic applies to Stan, though. Doesn't the KGB have better things to do than find new ways to shoehorn a parade of Illegals into the life of a high-ranking FBI Counterintelligence specialist who's actively looking for them?

Yes, but not everyone in the show can be a spy. . . and also, Stan came up to her at a water fountain. Not even Phil and Liz are that good at honeypotting people.

He didn't just blackmail them- he blackmailed them to undermine an intelligence-gathering operation in Moscow. Those agents who keep hounding Oleg are omnipotent villains in his story. . . but from their own point of view, they're out there risking their lives. Every time they reach out to Oleg, they're probably…

No way. Stan might get fired (or perhaps even killed), but there's no way the DoJ would air this debacle in public.

I had the same reaction, but I thought for a moment that they had cast a different actor as Henry.

It looked like he was clearly thinking about killing her. But of course he didn't have the guts to actually try (and Maggie was presumably expecting it, or even hoping for it, because she took an incredibly long time getting that shrub uprooted).
