It’s baffling to me that Republicans of all people, who have not been slow to invoke 9/11 for political purposes, would want to be seen to be blocking aid for the first responders even if they don’t care about doing the right thing.

The Jeopardy question must be “What do tequila and dicks have in common?”

His poor family and friends. 20 is appallingly young to go out.

Hey we’re imploding as well, it would be like trying to get the band back together after two of the members were already dead.......

Happy Independence Day, Americans.

I don’t agree, Veronica’s rough time in school rang very true to me (I fell out with a clique after a round of unpleasant mean girl games when we were 13). Even when rape and murder aren’t involved, it is horrible and wearing to have friends turn on you and suddenly realise that pretty much anything they know about

I don’t think Logan and Veronica getting closer came out of nowhere though. Veronica’s life seems so painful at the start of the season because it is clear Logan and Duncan were both genuinely friends, not just hangers on when she and Lilly hung out together.

When Logan charges into that room, credit to Jason Dohring because Logan looks like he’s genuinely afraid he’s going to find Veronica hurt or dead.

Just as a sidenote, I love that Cotton Mather song “Lilly Dreams On” that they used to soundtrack Veronica’s dream about Lilly Kane.

Episodes like this one make me cranky. Other than the Emily and Sylvia stuff which was haunting, there was nothing new in here.

But it makes Gilead look kind of incompetent again. As Aunt Lydia reminded us earlier in the season, Emily only lasted two days at Lawrence’s house. And Lawrence has no interest in going through with the Ceremony.

I don’t think it is June so much as the writing and the shift from having Gilead punish the crap out of everyone for nothing and then suddenly we hit season 3 and June is acting like Sydney from Alias without really getting anything worse than a slap on the wrist.

Atwood wasn’t guilty of this but a couple of my least favourite tropes from literary fiction were the whole “smug middle aged man slowly remembers ambiguously terrible thing he did in his youth” and that thing where a novel with a semblance of a plot suddenly diverges into descriptions of nature for the last few pages

In fairness, we are out of practice at finding any on here between the decreased frequency of the writing and what the comments have turned into.

I quite liked Jeff acknowledging that Annie and Abed needed to go do their own thing and their relationship to the group, Greendale and Jeff was not especially healthy for them.

To be fair to Alison Brie, NBC fired Harmon for a bit and then kind of had visible mixed feelings about the show for most of its run. I can see why Netflix would look preferable to either NBC or Yahoo! Screen (god rest).

I love Jeselnik and also wish him and Schumer had done a tour. I will always remember that Jeselnik Offensive episode where he introduces Amy Schumer as part of a group of things “I used to love” and then she stops him in his tracks by looking him dead in the eyes and replying “I don’t believe you ever loved me.”

The Brexit process.

I get tired of these same arguments people use to discredit women in these discussions. “You don’t understand/you are mistaken” etc etc. It gives the impression you do not think there is a 0.01% chance you might learn something from listening.

“Are you aware that things can be non-prosecutable?”
