I find the disarray talk about the transition humorous. Whether it was Trump or Clinton, the idea that either would have all the answers only EIGHT DAYS after the election on staffing an entirely new executive branch is absurd. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/17/us/politics/obama-white-house-transition.html?_r=0

Although very painful I could see the Bills offloading him before he gets himself a year or lifetime ban. I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility regardless of the $$ consequences. If you know the grenade is going to go off, throw it in someone else's yard before you're paying the full contract to a player who's banned from the league.

I have always thought the dramatic retelling of actual Facebook conversations would make for a hilarious play or television show.

I think "Heath" is a goner 1) because the shows are with different networks and filmed in places far from each other and 2) the character to this point has been minor. That being said, they could always recast the role given the unusual circumstances. However, it was rumored that the actor who played Dale (Jeffrey DeMunn) was unhappy with the show axing Darabont after Season 1 and wanted off. Instead of recasting Dale, a character that was significant in the comic telling of the story, they just killed off the character entirely.

Don't forget Heath (New Jack Bauer!) and Tara. They end up "somewhere."

The second half of the season lives or dies based on the play of the secondary. If they come to play, good things will happen. If not, be prepared to hang out at the airport and develop surprisingly sharp skills tracking aircraft on the internet.

Rick hid weapons outside Terminus so you'd think it'd be just a standard practice to stash weapons for emergency purposes, right?

I saw a video where someone counted that Rick and the gang have killed 47 Savior characters to date. If fans wanted to get real ticky tacky - Alexandria could have ended the Saviors in the last episode. They had the bulk of the Saviors at a choke point between the gate and the one lane road leading to the compound, pinned in by all the moving trucks. Or, you can get them all inside and take them down from the cover of the houses. Of course, you'd have no story then. Rick's Army took on a far larger, more well equipped opponent in the past - the Woodbury Army - and won.

I'm not on Facebook. Retired from it four years ago. Got sick of seeing people's kids. Some people post so much crap about their kids you feel like grandparents and obliged to send them cards at the holidays. I think Facebook would be a lot more civil if you were forced to break bread with each one of your "friends" every year.

I recall in Season 5 - they were on the road and the Washington Monument was shown in the background which is why I thought Alexandria meant the town. Another point to add - if they are indeed in Virginia, they are not only in the middle of multiple military and law enforcement headquarters and major installations but also multiple manufacturers of small arms and ammunition.

I'm amused that the show continues to write a story where guns are scarce in the United States years post apocalypse. Ammo, sure. Washington is less than 10 miles away from Alexandria and that's a storyline they've yet to roll out. It's probably like a Middle Eastern arms bazaar up there. On the opposite end I have no idea where anyone in that world is finding gasoline that'll actually power something. Nobody's made gasoline for years.

I agree with you. I'd even go further that absent the fringe on both sides, it's not that important of a topic nationally. IMO, the fringe on both sides keeps it alive because there's money to be made off of being outraged constantly. I'd be upset if we wasted a once in a lifetime Constitutional Convention on either topic.

I don't know. My legislature (Pennsylvania) is generally shadier than a peach orchard and accomplishes little but collect their own paychecks and bicker over who should sell alcohol in the state. Anything that requires heavy lifting (pensions, taxes, funding schools and budgets) and these guys can't get on "recess" soon enough. Giving them the task of amending the constitution is well above their pay grade. You might have to count Penn's Woods out of it.

I do the same exact thing. I haven't read 2061 - only time I've seen anything on the plot of that sequel are the attempts to turn it into a movie. It gets more difficult if they have to explain why Cher is there despite the warnings...

I've never understood the act of rioting in your own town unless it's just a cover to steal stuff. Are apology letters sent the day after? "Sorry Steve. I'm sorry I stole your stuff and burnt your store down that I routinely shop at in my temporary outrage. I started feeling sorry after I got home last night after the riot and sat down and played some Xbox after my parents said goodnight." At least the militias show a little commitment and occupy things.

Nothing good happens until the Bills stop trying to play football without cornerbacks on the field. It's hard to win with only 9 players on defense.

There is life there. Roy Schneider said so. (That movie in retrospect was one of the better non-action films of the 80s.)

The only person I'd negotiate with on that list is Samuel L. Jackson. Everyone else gets the Marvin K. Mooney treatment. Jon Stewart killed his career after leaving the Daily Show.

I think he'll get the ACA overhaul because both sides of the aisle want it. I also think you'll see a significant rollback of ISIS worldwide. A big part of that will be backing off in Syria and letting Assad win that civil war.

This on top of: The F-35 is hot, expensive garbage; We retired the warplanes that worked. The Abrams tanks, no matter the upgrades, look extremely vulnerable to Kornet missiles; The Russians just unveiled their fifth generation tank that has some technological innovation that would put nearly all NATO tanks at a disadvantage. Our front line attack helicopter is a 1970s design. We still depend heavily on B-52 bombers and A-10 close air support aircraft despite both designs being decades old.

I hate how catchy "Easy Street" has turned out to be. The show has always been good at finding obscure music finds. I recall they found Wang Chung's "Space Junk" in Season 1.

Depends on the standard. I think post free agency NFL is vastly different from NFL of yesteryear. The Bills were the last great team of the pre free agency NFL. Patriots are the most dominant team in the post free agency era. Runner up would be the St. Louis Rams in the Greatest Show on Turf years from 1999-2004.

My opinion on these political polls is that the numbers are irrelevant but the message is not. If you're a Democrat, you want to paint a picture of inevitability but it's not safe. If you're a Republican, you don't want complacency. If your candidate is up 10 points, you'd have a lot of people out there saying "ehh, I don't really need to go vote." IMO, this race is close based on where the candidates are today. If Clinton really felt she had a four point lead, she's not in Pennsylvania TWICE today and in Michigan, a state that last went for the GOP in 1988.

I remember that 2007 game because 1) the Bills ran out a unique defense for the first half of that game that really confused Romo and 2) RWS lost its mind when George Wilson had the INT.

You might not want to be on her staff or her Secret Service detail but the Republicans are certainly coming for her. She's probably going to get two special prosecutors within the first year if she makes it and she isn't going to be able to stop that.
