Common misconception that; that fun is relaxing. If it is, you're not doing it right.
Whenever China’s not on screen, all the other countries should be saying “Where’s China?”

It's Gutfest '89

It's not entirely unreasonable to assume that in the world of FAM the Soviet Union's continued existence & presumed outsized influence in Asia into the early 21st century would necessarily keep China's emergence as a world power at bay.

But then the show also seems to want to have its cake and eat it too by continuing to depict life in the USSR as a gloomy late '70s-looking backwards hellhole, so who knows.

Let's get naked!
The alternate timeline / decade jump is such an interesting conceit it makes the entry into each season pretty memorable and excuses historical in-accuracies / the same characters being involved in everything imho.

Though it was a stern reminder of how old I am when Franz Ferdinand is now the music that establishes we've reached 20 years ago.

L-l-look at you bar-bartender, a-a pa-pathetic creature of meat and bone, un-underestimating my l-l-liver's ability to metab-meTABolize t-toxins. How can you p-poison a perfect, immortal alcohOLIC?


Once the North Korea thing happened last season I felt instantly unburdened of trying to reason through stuff, because it became a fantasy show instead of alternate history and now I'm just hoping they make it as crazy as possible.

bagger mcguirk sent me.

my main reaction to the trailer: for the love of god, let ed baldwin die

it's gonna be season 8 and he's gonna have a face full of ridiculous old-age makeup, still inexplicably alive and in charge of everything

Yeah but now we will get Ed trying to use a PSP and saying "What in the sam hill is this? Whatever happened to Pong? Now that was a video game."

Why would he use a ten year old video game console in season 4?

I'm making a joke that in their universe it was invented in the early 90s.
