Stop applying the Bechdel test to individual works! That completely misses its point!

The people who believe him aren't the ones at risk, though.

Certainly not the mirror-shades wearing sheriff (or whatever) in O Brother, Where Art Thou? And, I'd say, the coffee-mug-throwing cop in The Big Lebowski.

I'm pretty sure it was either a metaphor for late-term abortion or immigration reform. That or the Iran treaty.

Nah, you're getting into unknowable territory here. You can't have it be the case that they both don't know about the guns but would definitely have won but for Carol and Morgan. I'm out.

It really didn't seem that close to me. Like, as soon as a few of the Alexandrians had guns in their hands, that was more or less it. The fact that they managed to kill a few people (six? seven?) doesn't suggest they were at any point close to 'winning'.

Why were they underprepared? Why was their recon insufficient? Why, given that there's literally a guy with a rifle on a watchtower, didn't they know about the guns? I don't think all of those things can be the case and still leave the Wolves "deadly and organised". I've been to after-work drinking sessions both more

Maybe I worded this poorly or something. The fact that they set traps is completely irrelevant to my point. I assume they also consume food and drink water; this too is irrelevant to what I'm saying. Their attack on Alexandria is borderline suicidal if they're in possession of all the facts, isn't it? They're greatly

No, it's not a joke, it's an assessment. They prey on other groups and individuals, yes. They don't, from what I've seen, have any sort of long-term survival strategy as a unit. They're living from hand to mouth, killing whoever they come across. That's just predation, it's not a plan. The Governor, Rick & Co,

Mary Marcy May Marlene or something (I remember the name but never saw the movie, lol). It would be weird for someone to be feeling divided loyalties between a group of apparently psychotic religious maniacs and some perfectly nice folks like the Alexandrians. I mean, the Wolves don't even seem particularly

For me the biggest evidence against is that the Wolves seem too crazy to go planting inside moles and whatnot. Granted, they did attack at a time when Alexandria was especially vulnerable, which is suspicious, but look at how they operate. Several of them just downed one person each and kept hacking at their corpse.

Gasoline which, furthermore, does not need airtight storage to remain combustible for more than a few months.

I think this episode was a great idea slightly mishandled. From the moment we see the machete-wielding intruder, it should have been more or less constant action, but they kept taking these little quiet contemplative moments (like Carol, after mercy-killing that woman) which just punctured any real sense of tension

I assumed it was a shout-out, tbh. Not aware of that as an actual idiom.

Man, that closing shot was practically quoting S1 of True Detective, no?

I really thought the dudes-in-skirts thing was an Encounter at Farpoint shout-out: httpcolonslashslashidotstackdotimgurdotcomslashZ4MC1dotjpg

The plush surroundings are a sort of mutual hallucination shared by Graham and Lecter.

Using and misusing, it's seemed to me. "Prefigure in the causal sense" doesn't reeeeally mean anything, does it? And 'louche' as a description of Suspicious Henchman was questionable at best.

Somewhat more interesting is that Holmes almost never actually uses 'deduction' per se. He seldom actually 'eliminates the impossible' but rather posits the plausible. These are inferences to the best explanation and thus are examples of abductive reasoning.
