Talk:Homecoming, Masters of Horror Episode
What is this about? And if it's going to stay, can someone who's 1) Familiar with the motion picture and 2) able to write fix it up? TheoryOfPractice 20:12, 10 January 2009 (EST)
Why I put this up: 1) Great political commentary: it goes out to attack the War in Iraq as well as the Bush administration 2) I've been pissed off enough at people calling those who do not support the War unAmerican and unpatriotic. 3)It was a highly praised episode. If it makes anyone feel better, I can move this to the fun pages...--Nate River 20:25, 10 January 2009 (EST)
- It's not so much moving it to fun as 1) finding some articles that would link to it well, and 2) explaining what it is. What's Masters of Horror? A TV show? Why is it noteworthy as a TV show? I've never heard of it--of course, I don't own a TV, so I haven't heard of anything since Seinfeld (...is that still on?). Maybe less plot summary and more analysis?

Ok, I get 'cha. Yes, it is a tv series. It is a noteworthy episode because it challenges the Bush administration. I also found it reflecting Rush Limbaugh's comments on phoney soldiers which is funny as this was filmed before he made that comment. The main emphasis on the episode is that it deals with the people who sold the US the war. Remember that NFL player who died in Afghanistan? They made him a martyr after his death only for us to later find out he was convincing other soldiers to vote against Bush.--Nate River 20:45, 10 January 2009 (EST)

- I'm still not entirely convinced, but whatever. I copy-edited a bit, check it out and make sure I haven't changed any intended meanings...TheoryOfPractice 21:23, 10 January 2009 (EST)
- I was tempted to throw up a "delete" template, but I see it is, at least, political. Although it's the politics of the past ;) If this can't be linked from "somewhere", maybe it needs to go bye-bye? I'm not sure... ħuman

- I dunno. I can see your point. Americans have elected a leader who will end the war. Republican spin doctors are going to be out of work till the next election, so yeah, this might be pointless. It gives a great portrayal of the Right Wing, but that alone might not be enough. If you guys want to fry this page, go for it.

- I'd just like to point out though that leftist views make for better movies and tv. Right views just give us Michael Moore jokes. If you ever see a copy of this, watch it. It is one of the best zombie films I have ever seen.--Nate River 23:17, 10 January 2009 (EST)
I went ahead and added the delete template. This "article" is just meaningless cruft disguised as an RW article by adding the line "The episode features a George W. Bush-like president, an Ann Coulter wannabe, someone who resembles Karl Rove as well as other people that depict the American right including a pro-American preacher, a television pundit and a speech writer." Junk not even worth moving to "fun". ħuman 00:38, 18 January 2009 (EST)
