"Among the many reasons Chuck is a raging asshole, his unwillingness to
seek treatment for what is clearly a mental health issues is up toward
the top."

I saw in a documentary that Yes Minister was created to extol Public Choice theory, which while neither classically left nor right, is hardly 'politically neutral'. Though you seem well-informed, so I dunno - did I get a bum steer?

I saw a screencap elsewhere suggesting NM is under one-party consent laws, so yeah, if that's the case.

Well yeah, obviously I don't mean in person.

There's no way on Earth it was anyone other than Fring. Hank? Seriously?

But Quimby would have to be a Democrat, since he's so clearly an ersatz Kennedy of some stripe (besides being fabulously corrupt).

"Just a friendly reminder that “Ring Around The Rosie” wasn’t inspired by the Bubonic plague."

Looking forward to some awkwardly worded speeches in the next few days:

"I liked the very end, the song and the brother, but meh."

Oh, no doubt. And in some scenes, he won't be wearing the jacket. In some scenes, he won't be carrying the bat. In some scenes, bet your life, he'll demonstrate a tender side - or, at the very least, some form of a code of honour. Maybe in some scenes he won't even say very much. My point is that all of those elements…

So Negan is a pretty goddamn damp squib. Never, ever, ever listen to People Who've Read The Book.

One of the lawyer's henchmen is Archer's exact double, or so it seemed to me.

Nah, I mean, why are they all mystified about WHO IS THIS GUY etc? Like, run the plates, yo. Either it's a rental or it's an agency car or it's a PV. There's a paper trail regardless, or at least, there might be. Granted that there probably aren't too many laughs to be dug out of it, but still. Bugged me slightly.

So a vanful of cops didn't bother running the plates on the car the guy they're tailing is in?

"Except for, y'know, being the absolute core to his conception of horror."

"… the real H.P. Lovecraft wasn’t just a great writer, he was also an
unrepentant racist who hated and feared pretty much everybody."

The second one I get. The first is just like, all the more reason to run it by them. I guess errors in judgement are an OK plot device now and then.

What suggests Mike's daughter-in-law is lying as opposed to just paranoid? I missed that.

That's contentious, certainly by no means settled etymology. I find it implausible, firstly because vulgarisms don't have a long history of being contracted from extant insults, and secondly because there's a very rich history of conflating femininity and feminine attributes with weakness and cowardice etc.

Well, I already addressed that, not gonna go in circles. G'night champ.
