Roy Moore is one of those people that make me sure there’s no guy in the sky doling out what everyone deserves. He’s a garbage person, but he’s 75 and still chugging along with stupid lawsuits. Meanwhile, perfectly nice children are dying from illness and war. 

“For far too long the American people have been subjected to the antics of Sasha [sic] Baron Cohen. His pusillanimous and fraudulent conduct must be stopped. We will appeal” - Cohen really needs to use this on all ads and future DVD/Blu-ray boxes.

I’m just looking forward to getting a sweet little slice of that $95 million since the case is for the people.

LOL and GFY Roy Moore, you pedo asshole.

Mad Men spent a massive portion of its budget to play Tomorrow Never Knows.  Truly one of the greats.

Yeah I mean Moby is always good for emotional moments but I wish they’d been able to find something 80s with a similar sentiment or made something original 

While it tied in a little less than I expected (I assumed the other parents were going to actually relate to events a bit more this season and then they very much didn’t) I really liked the satanic panic stuff, because it was shining a light on a crazy but true part of Americana at the time, and because it offered up

The Americans. Season 5 ep 10 Slice of Life, Bauhaus

Guy gets a little bit of a rush every time he tells people he doesn’t watch a popular tv show

While ST is good, and I am a sucker for the soundtrack as it pays homage to Tangerine Dream and included a couple of their songs in the first couple seasons, if you want a better use of music, Miami Vice is much better to be honest. Michael Mann changed TV with the use of music.

Overall, I’m satisfied. There are a few loose ends, though:

Sort of a different beat, but Scrubs used music exceptionally well.

Now playing

No disrespect to ST, but all it’s really done is integrate one song (Running Up That Hill) at a few effective moments. When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die was used pretty well too (bit of an anachronistic choice though, I think?) and the synth score is great. I wouldn’t personally say its use of music is particularly

The Americans used music better.

The runtimes didn’t bother me. There’s even a fade to black about halfway into “The Piggyback” that just as well could have been the end to a penultimate episode that set up the finale of the second half. So it was like three episodes instead of two. I certainly wasn’t complaining.

*Some* of that is understandable. But let’s not put all the blame on Ross there. Yeah, he is a walking advert for Male Entitlement, but Rachel......ooohhhhh boy. They are two extremely toxic people who only know how to hurt each other in the most vicious of ways and expect you to bend to their every whim. And if you

With Ross and Rachel, the question was “Why won’t they stop?”

They could have made the possible co-parenting arc truly hilarious, but no, they had to kill off Maddie’s baby.

I was SO MAD.

I think the big problem with ‘will they, won’t they’ arcs is that we’re too mired in the idea that marriage/commitment is a ‘happily ever after’, when it isn’t, and you could get a lot of mileage

I think I like it better when the answer to the question is “no”, as in 30 Rock.  They still teased the idea and got some solid laughs out of it.

The problem is everyone remembers the curse of Moonlighting where you killed your hit show the moment the leads finally hooked up.
