2->'''Aeris:''' Greetings, sir. Have you heard about [[TheLifestream the life-stream?]]\
3'''Villager:''' You're selling what now?\
4'''Aeris:''' I'm a Jenova's Witness, traveling these parts and spreading the word of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth.]] Will you be ready for Reunion?\
5'''Villager:''' Reunion?\
6'''Aeris:''' Yes. The day all non-believers will be smoten in great joining of our mother.\
7'''Villager''': So if I join I'll be saved?\
8'''Aeris''': Oh, no. You'll still die. But ''faster.''

12->"But where to choose for a setting? What part of the world could audiences credibly believe would allow itself to be taken over and isolated by a charismatic psycho with inexplicable legions of mindless followers, and which, furthermore, has a greater density of firearms than it has effective social services? Hmm, I wonder. 'Thank you, Yahtz. I think everyone's gotten the joke.' Oh, hello, rural America! Didn't see you there, hiding under Canada's frilly miniskirt! You ever read ''The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire?'' 'Cos by my reckoning, the U.S. is up to about Volume IV."

16->''{{Creator/Joel|Schumacher}} refers to ComicBook/PoisonIvy as a "beautiful, sexy" version of the Unabomber. Never really thought of it that way, to be honest. Never gotten that drunk or stoned.''

19->'''Andy:''' ComicBook/TheJoker has successfully screwed Gotham up so badly that ordinary citizens are attacking an innocent man just because some voice on the television tells them he’s their enemy. Again, it seems like the pragmatic thing to do. Terror and death will stop if we take these extreme measures.\
20'''David''': There’s absolutely no metaphor to real-life circumstances here, no siree.\
21'''Andy''': Shhhhh…

24->''Archer is forced to act almost unilaterally to oppose an obvious evil, discovering that he cannot count on his so-called allies for support. It evokes evoked the “go-it-alone” label so often applied to UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush’s foreign policy... one that persists in the popular imagination and has become enshrined in popular history. Far from being the consensus-builder that one might expect to help form the Federation, Archer feels more like [[SpaceWestern a stereotypically macho cowboy.]]''

27->''When I say “Zygon ISIS,” I am not reading into the story to any meaningful extent. The radicalized Zygons are, first of all, actually described with the word “radicalized.” They send video messages of their hostages, whom they sometimes execute on camera. They have a sigil consciously designed to mirror the ISIS flag. This episode is [[{{Anvilicious}} not fucking around.]]''

30->''Forced to disarm after its humiliating defeat in its war with Shinra/Midgar fifteen years ago, {{Wutai}} now peddles its ancient and unique culture to tourists from the very lands that defeated them. Though Wutai is a land of many deities, but most of its inhabitants no longer believe in them as strongly as they used to. Much generational friction exists in Wutai over the war and adherence to custom and tradition. Also, Wutai is full of pagodas, ninja, and giant Buddha statues. [[{{UsefulNotes/Japan}} Eerie real-life counterpart?]] Huh. I'm stumped.''

33->''Y'know, I thought WesternAnimation/{{the Pink Panther}}'s nemesis (the little moustached guy in the coat for those of you unaware) was Inspector Clouseau, from [[Franchise/ThePinkPanther the films.]] But no, Website/{{Wikipedia}} tells me he's simply called The Man. Political subtext ahoy!''

37->"Cordell attacks people for the crime of just being on the street, or just crossing his path, and uses violence as a means to silence those who are doing nothing wrong. It could have gone terribly wrong, this idea, but Z'Dar's chilling performance and William Lustwig's intense direction turn an otherwise-idiotic premise into something frighteningly plausible."

41->"I’m looking at this [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids touchy-feely egalitarian nice guy]] in Kirk: Is this really the guy that’s gonna buckle up, saddle up, put on the guns and fight the Klingons, who are encroaching on our airspace, in our territorial infinity? No! There are military leaders now in the United States who feel that, for instance, [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama Obama’s]] a wimp."
