Still true today. We need smart people to get us out of this mess, same then as now.
Sumerian Veteran: *has severe PTSD but doesn't know it because the term won't be invented for another 5000 years* I fight the same battle in my dreams every night and my relationship with my family has fallen apart.
Sumerian Healer: *saw hundreds of veterans with the exact same affliction before* You're cursed by desert demons.
Best of the prequels no doubt.

trying to explain jimmy mcgill to someone who has never seen the show is so funny. like YES he's probably one of the most complexly nuanced characters ever on screen. yes his story is tragic beyond measure. yes just thinking about him makes me want to cry. but also yes he identifies heavily with those inflatable dancing tube figures they put outside of used car lots and credit unions. yes he represents his brand with a giant tacky blowup statue of liberty. yes he'll do anything for a price. yes he's very real to me. idk lol. character of all time
“We had to recognize that our generation was more to be trusted than theirs. They surpassed us only in phrases and in cleverness; the first bombardment showed us our mistake, and under it the world as they had taught it to us broke in pieces. While they continued to write and talk, we saw the dying. While they taught that duty to one’s country is the greatest thing, we already knew that death-throes are stronger. But for all that we were no mutineers, no deserters, no cowards.We loved our country as much as they; we went courageously into every action; but also we distinguished the false from true, we had suddenly learned to see. And we saw that there was nothing of their world left. We were all at once terribly alone; and alone we must see it through.“
