I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

So you don’t roll your eyes as much?
My eyes, by the end of this season, were so rolled out. I couldn’t move them! I was afraid they were going to freeze like that some times. Literally every scene I had to do at least three eye rolls. I’m getting so good at it now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I got a hint of that, le nubian, but didn't feel motivated to pursue it. But I think there' something there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am appreciating that Gus is better written now than he's been at any other point in the series, but does it have to be a zero sum game? The show's got so much schtick that "just solving some more mysteries" is tiring, especially since it's such a Perky Damned Schtick.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can't watch this right now because I can't get my wireless headphones to pair with this laptop, but I'm pretty sure I want this show to happen:

Yea on DOMA. Gutting the Voting Rights act still makes the Supreme Court, in the words of Doug Henwood, "Robed Ghouls". And thanks fucking moderate and liberal Democrats who voted to confirm Roberts and other conservative justices on grounds of civility.
