Tom Cotton the Iran letter guy? I think he wrecked his own career. Yes the tea party crowd goes for that sort of thing but no one else does.

That was really good but considering it is Dany, it probably is all editing tricks. Nothing exciting ever happens with Dany and it is tough to imagine this year will be an exception. She's threaten, she'll make speeches, and then the show will find some excuse for her lack of these mythical boats she has been searching for since 2011. Speaking of boats, I wonder if Gendry is still rowing away in that little boat of his. We last saw him in 2013 I think.

Why would she not run? If there was anything truly scandalous in these emails than someone received them and they could potentially leak out. Bill seems to be in decent health and he would be a great asset to her. There are no history making black candidates running this time to steal thunder away from a history making woman candidate, so she has the whole history caucus on her side. Who are the republicans going to send against her? If she runs I think she will win despite general resistance to older women by the US.

James Carville said it best when he went on Andrea Mitchell. He said the media has two rules, one for the Clintons and one for everyone else, that nobody did anything illegal, and that Mitchell and media take their cues from right wing talking points. He also said there was little to gain by responding to this scandal because no matter what the Clintons say it will never be enough and that years of every -Gate imaginable manufactured by the media shows that the Clintons have very little to gain indulging the media or republicans. I read another essay that said the Clintons know all they have to do is stonewall until a new news item comes along and the media forgets this one. The Clintons having secrets is old news, and the media needs new news.

I disagree that Michonne is more level headed than Carol. I don't think anyone can be more level headed than Carol and she is so level to the point that her cold logic and ability to see anything and everything as a problem with a solution that she is borderline nuts herself without realizing out.

It just has to be one of the top scenes ever on the show. How has she not won an emmy by now?

That was weird. Carol is truly the most hardened of the group, and mentally the toughest going all the way back to season 2 when she needed a walker to practice c-sections on. I liked this episode because it was about how the core three are going about their business and it seems it is Daryl who is the one being seduced most. That he didn't want the gun was telling and I think he really wants to make this work. Rick is being more obviously seduced but he is honestly experiencing the personal drama of being there. Carol though is different in that she is not honestly interacting with any of them, not allowing even a moment to be truly in the moment. She would never allow herself to honestly interact with anyone the way Rick and Daryl have, and I have a slight worry for her on the show.

I don't see it as a problem. They have a complicated private life but that doesn't impact their abilities. He is better than she is at doing stuff but she isn't bad. If it took 200 girlfriends and a hundred political schemes to make Bill Clinton into Bill Clinton, then it is great he did all that. There is just nothing left to say about them and their secrets. Everybody knows the Clintons will always have an angle or some shady aspect to everything they do and most people accept it and don't seem to care. People should vote for Hillary to backdoor Bill back into a position of influence. They were always buy one get one free, and he knows his stuff.

They wouldn't be the Clintons if they didn't have something to hide. If they didn't have something to hide I would be disappointed.

I don't think there is any downside to rehashing Bill. The only people that cared about Monica Lewinsky were those that hated Bill anyway. Clinton has enjoyed a high popularity rating since the day he left office andHillary should have Bill out front and center. Also, I don't see a downside for Hillary in rehashing George. Extended discussions about Dick Cheney's presidency can only help.

This was a good episode and I like how it gave unsaid yet clear as day insights into the core, older characters. Daryl doesn't need to say why he is uncomfortable, of course he would be. This is not any world he would fit in even if he was guaranteed safety. Carl looking at these kids wanting to play video games and not wanting to become weak was great. The two best for me were Carol and Rick. Carol pretending to be Susie Homemaker is so typically Carol. The enemies ignore her at their own peril because when all is said and done Carol is the most dangerous of all of them. So if the eventual baddies go after Rick and Michonne, it will be Carol who gets the last surprise in. Rick's shave was great. That scene reminded me of Lucy Coe a little, and just watching him shave was great. This entire episode was almost an anti-soap: you don't need characters narrating every thought to show what's going on upstairs.

I have always loved that man who did the voice overs for the ABC commercials in the 80s. He just has the perfect voice for promos.

Brainwashed hick kid. He doesn't even know what he is saying and some of his sentences don't really make sense. I love the bit about how the dead journalists Isis killed in Syria have a constitutional right to be journalists. In Syria???

This was a really good episode. I loved that whole driving through walkers sequence and the running through the walker forest after. The character stuff was good too, and I liked how Michonne remembered to ask the questions. The new guy seems like he will be a good guy because they bothered to show that he has a relationship. If he was a villain I doubt they would have bothered. As a villain the important thing is how they impact the group, whereas with this guy we got a scene about him and his boyfriend that had nothing to do with the group. Therefore he is a going concern for the show and I assume his BF will die in short order.

Giuliani is trying to stay relevant even though we are almost 15 years out from 9/11. The only thing I have to agree with Rudy on is Obama's anti christian comments trying to create moral equivalency so everyone won't notice that all these horrible things in the world are being committed in the name of islam. "A Thousand years ago christians did it too, so people who live in glass houses..." Ridiculous. For starters it was a thousand years ago, the expiration date long expired, and at some point you expect some sort of enlightenment to kick in even in the Islamic world. They are Islamic terrorists, burning people alive and decapitating them in the name of Islam, shooting cartoonists for Islam. Why does Obama want us to pretend we don't know this? When the mainstream media trots out the "everybody does it" moral equivalency BS for republicans benefit it is lame, the same holds true for Obama trying to pretend we have real world christian parallels to Islamic warriors killing everyone in their path. Beheadings, burning people alive, killing people who won't convert...they are all strictly Islamic things in 2015. Obama was not only tone deaf, he was an idiot when he said that comment.

I don't even remember if Robin Williams ever hosted the show and not sure in what capacity they would remember him. If they did a tape of dead hosts and musical guest they probably would have needed another hour. I wonder if Buck Henry is not well enough to attend. He must be quite old by now but he was a major presence on the show during the original cast years.

I really want to know who this new guy is. His clothes are clean, he has a nice shave, and he doesn't seem to be all that hungry. I could believe there are survivors wherever it is that they are, but how does this person, good or bad, know Rick's name? As for the episode itself, I am glad they finally addressed their dumb writing when it came to Maggie's complete disinterest in Beth this entire year. That was sloppy but at least they know it. Love Daryl and Carol, but Sasha mourning her waste brother and crying priest burning his collar do nothing for me. Abraham's drinking his depression away also doesn't interest me and he should have let whatever it is his name is taste the water. That guy is useless too. If Carl gets any taller he will soon be taller than Rick. I loved him as the crazy mini killer who looked 12 but could kill as well as anyone, but as he gets taller and taller that charm evaporates. Now he is just a regular person.

I thought it was a really good show and for me it was Dan Ackroyd who was my favorite. No one has ever been able to duplicate or imitate him but he's just the best. i liked the Wayne's World and I thought it was endearing that Kanye played along. Sarah Palin was a good sport, as was Alec Baldwin. I liked the opening with Fallon and Timberlake and it was nice to see Jane Curtin, Garret Morriss and Laraine Newman again (although in her case it is tough to recognize her). Joe Piscopo too even though his bit fell a little flat. Paul Simon was the best musically but I thought Miley Cyrus did a good job covering his song earlier. I do wish more time had been spent reflecting on John Belushie, Gilda Radner and Jan Hooks.

I expect Ryan Paevey to do well as a co host. He handled himself fine during the daytime emmy incident and show presence of mind and an ability to show charm and personality on camera. He will handle this effortlessly I imagine.

While I couldn't care about Tyrese I thought the extended death sequence was interesting and well done. This is an ongoing show with no end in sight, why can't they take a 1hour detour into deathland? It might have been cool to have seen this for Merle or Shane, but the show probably didn't think of it.

You know what the biggest joke is? This putz went on for three million years about this phantom girlfriend who had a line and half of dialogue tops in the maybe two episodes she appeared in, and yet she didn't rate a guest spot in the hallucination! How classic is that? Even the writers forgot who she is.

Free at last, free at last! Good riddance to you, worst character in the entire history of the show! But couldn't you take Abraham and the crying priest with you?

who is the guy all the way to the right behind Kirby?

Wow, Harry Hamlin what happened to your career? Did HH ever act on anything after LA Law? I didn't care for this bizarro episode at all with the drones and hypnotism and whatnot. Sue's interest in Klaine is out of nowhere. The episode really suffered with only the few regulars too. WEHT Artie, Mike Chang and even little Puckerman. He was the only good thing about the next gen glee.

She looks way better than he does. I don't know what happened to JJ but he looks like an ex drunk.
