It's ok, I get all of what you're saying, especially the frustration. The vote for the candidate most likely to win mentality is one of the most understandable, reasonable and frustrating outcomes of zero sum political systems. It's a perfectly rational response to what is in many respects an irrational system. But…

It's exactly about electability, actually it probably comes down to something akin with game theory, people who feel they have more to lose are more prone to making risk averse decisions. And in this case what minorities have to lose from a Republican victory far outstrips that of non minorities. There's also a power…

I guess you could call this a….Smash-Up.

This is just bringing up all my childhood anger about that Jeff Hardy ladder title match on raw all over again. That was also the peak of my Hardy obsession.

At the very least The Vikings created The Blair Walsh Project-2016's breakout horror film, which presumably involves him and Gary Anderson in a dark room missing field goals for all of time.

On the plus side I thought he made his Kirk in the first film into John Crichton, or atleast a watered down slightly more sane John Crichton which was still a fun take(Honestly if you told me Chris Pine was a Farscape fan I'd believe he modeled his entire performance in the first film on Browder, as it stands it was…

http://www.smallbytes.net/~… Are you going for the intentional irony here? (I want to say that's why you said you didn't expect Updike pastiche, but this is the internet and I never assume).

Praying Drunk by Kyle Minor, and 10:04 by Ben Lerner would be where I would unequivocally start. Hesitantly I'd say Get In Trouble by Kelly Link, but for lack of a better way of phrasing it, that may be too weird or not literary enough for you. (The phrasing on that is so bad, that I'm going to clarify I did not mean…

I'd say my highlights were probably Signs Preceding The End Of The World by Yuri Herrera, Get In Trouble by Kelly Link, Gutshot by Amelia Gray, 10:04 by Ben Lerner and Three Moments Of An Explosion by China Mieville.

You know what, I'm really not feeling this, perhaps if I take off my pants and jacket and listen to it again it'll leave me less down, down, down. Dammit, that last one didn't really work.

That laugh give me glorious flashbacks his "It's a piggy bank" line on Justified. Gleefully unhinged is definitely his best look.

I always preferred "The Crimson" myself. ( I'm actually judging myself, well my past 14 year old self, for making this joke)

Some of us were far to busy listening to Supergrass for that nonsense (Not me, because even in jest I would like a distance between me and Brit pop).

I only identify with Keynesian thought ironically.

I think the "iconic" line is just standard Nathan's voiceovers have no bearing on reality fare. All in all this episode is probably a good standard bearing low key counterpart to last week's, sometimes you get high concept, sometimes you just get absurdly detailed, strangely organic, this post pearl harbour world sure…

In my head it's not too late to trade Legends Of Tomorrow and the corpse of Supernatural for a Jensen Ackles Green Lantern show. Or really just a Jensen Ackles Green Lantern/Arrow episode.

I guess television executives have to keep making programs to keep them in working order, so that when we finally have meaningful things to say, we have television programs to say them with.

But with strange aeons even death may die.

I really liked the ending, which had a kind of science fiction-y Lovecraft feel, and was in my opinion effectively creepy. As for the rest, I'm largely indifferent, I mean I've reached the stage where I'll enjoy just "hanging out" with Capaldi's doctor, wherever the hell the narrative takes me, but there was a lot…

I honestly don't remember the tonal shifts seeming so abrupt if anything I felt like she's able to do what George Saunders does and move almost seamlessly between style and tone whilst maintaining a distinctive voice. Then again, it's been a while since I read it and I'm not sure why I'm arguing when we could just…
