1. Meek's Cutoff
Title's I guess a pun? I thought it was pretty good while it lasted. I'm not sure what the point of Meek's gendered cosmology was - an example of the absurdities you fall into using arbitrary traditional criteria (males, whites) when picking leaders? When Williams talked about wondering whether Meek was evil or imbecilic she seemed to be channeling a lot of conversations one heard about Bush a few years back. Which would make the uneasy switching of loyalties to Mr. Other an Obama era allegory, thus justifying the ending. Seems excessively topical if it's about Obama-hatred and swing voters, but I suppose we'll witness a lot of similar crises across these next decades.
