You don't understand - they're just that important.

Two of the three examples you mentioned are also supposed to be hypercompetent savants. They do get results, and whether or not you agree with those shows' viewpoints (I don't, for the record), they're very different types of characters from Hannah (or from Tony Soprano or Walter White, for that matter, who also get…

You should, but yes. Yes it is.

…You know, I'm trying to give the American government every benefit of the doubt before I follow my gut instincts and join a left-wing anarchist militia, but it just keeps slapping every chance I give it away…
