Actually, the reminder that Ecbert (love you, crazy Linus Roache) had indeed abdicated before negotiating away nothing was on my mind - Ragnar had his set up, but so did Ecbert, in the end. There was nothing to give, and while that entire negotiation allowed Aethelwulf to flee, it allows the Saxons the righteous…

Jesus Christ, the amount of virtue-signaling on this site is becoming intolerable. We get it, we should be aware and empathetic towards people not like us. Now get the fuck out of our way and let us enjoy watching a cranky old jew with no filter attempt to navigate through his increasingly petty,…

I’m pretty tired of reading complaints about Larry David’s jokes on gays, autists, or Hispanics. I, myself am a gay autistic Hispanic, and, I don’t give a shit (only one of those is actually true). Look, Larry tells a lot of politically incorrect jokes which are varying degrees of funny, and, I’d appreciate it if you…

Not to mention making Scott Tenorman eat a bowl of chili con padre.

I disagree pretty vehemently and I hate this 2017 neediness for everyone to be a good guy - LD has always walked around as though he were above social niceties; he is *the* classic example of a rich, entitled, middle-aged (ok, that’s a bit generous) white man - to tone that down at this stage of the show’s run would…

Look, there’s an exception to every rule. And being steadfastly intolerant of intolerance (while simultaneously pushing back against politically-correct OVERREACH) exemplifies the paradoxical ‘sweet spot’ of a ‘radical-middle’ perspective.

If you’re “left wing” and actually believe Clinton wasn’t a better choice than Trump, you’re either delusional or a liar and you’re not “left wing.” The vacant seat on the Supreme Court was enough of a reason to hold your nose and vote for Clinton. This isn’t a civics class or an ethics class. Elections have practical…

 Why do morons like you think we should be tolerant of intolerant motherfuckers like you? We’ve never said we tolerated bigots. Nor should we.

No, next election, we fucking ignore them. Let the old age and the opioid crisis wipe those dipshits out.

They ignored us during the AIDS and crack epidemic. I consider it a karmic culling of the populace.

In what world would a security guard risk his livelihood like that?

I normally agree with your reviews, but I think you’re missing a huge point in this. Firstly, pointing out that two shows already did a “people rating system” concept doesn’t suddenly negate the need for other explorations. They both did analogues of the eventual way that social media will be used to rate us, much…

This felt very much like an original Star Trek episode. (see other comments for episodes). Also, why does TV have to be so dark and serious with years-long plot arcs? Why do they all have to be dark and brooding? I happen to enjoy The Orville because it is light and fun sci-fi. Who cares if it is not deep and profound…

Fuck Jon, chill out you fat fuck. Maybe learn to throw to a base too while you’re at it.

I mean he’s from St. Louis. Statistically, he’s racist.

RIGHT?!? JJA had so horribly mutated and mutilated the franchise with his non-reboot reboot, taking place in an alternate universe mind you, that people have totally forgotten that Star Trek was supposed to be about issues. Trek has always been at its best when it was less about action and melodrama and more about…

You’re the same person who said James Wood is an actual genius.

Honestly, I don’t want them to “take on Trump”. Every single thing is about Trump these days, and it gets boring. I think this episode was smart because it punched some holes into ideas that the right wingers have accepted as truth, but without necessarily insulting their king. This way they may have to defend the…

Digging to China with a stick or GTFO

The internet is full of kids doing shit that kids have always done, only now they think the rest of the world deserves to know about it.
