My simultaneous-crying-and-laughing moment came early in the episode, when Teddy and Ted Sr. were looking at new buildings for the tire store, and their conversation began with Teddy standing in front of a sign reading, "BROKEN BENT WARPED CRACKED" in bold red letters. It seemed almost too on-the-nose, and then I…

My god, what a gauntlet you went through! Thank you for sharing this story. I'm sorry that happened to you, and I hope you're finding more peace now. Here's an internet hug from a stranger if you want it: [hug]

I have to credit this show for making me laugh out loud with the shot of a loudly amorous Bonnie & Clyde moving over to Wyatt & Lucy lying shoulder to shoulder like a living "Well This Is Awkward" tableau. Well done.

My favorite thing about this episode: no needlessly convoluted flashbacks! Keep that up, Pitch.

When Chloe was talking about Daniel becoming who he had to be to survive prison, it really crystallized something for me: how terrifying the idea of his innocence must be for him. Because, if he's innocent, that means he's suffered two decades of torment - assault, rape, extreme isolation, the death of his father, the…

Let this be the rallying cry for those who've found ourselves at the end of our rope, looked around, and realized (dimly, belatedly) that we are acting like fools: "Teddy, you dumb bastard, God almighty…"

Oh yes, I loved that scene and was so happy to see her praying. I've been in that place where you have a crisis, and your faith is not as strong as it once was, and you want to pray and you know that an earlier version of you would be praying already, and this version of you is afraid that praying won't give you the…

World War Z (the book) is PHENOMENAL. I am torn between wanting to re-read it, and wanting to just leave it on the shelf because I know there are certain chapters that I won't make it through without soaking the pages in tears (again).

I need Kelli's podcast in my life, and I need it to be daily and at least an hour long, so I can listen to it on my commute every morning.

At least the steampunk was less gross than the British Raj Khaki And Pith Helmets styling of their first appearance.

I want to highlight the best line reading of the whole series: Melissa McCarthy with, "I mean there are moments where I'm looking around and just watching a bunch of people eat dirt, and I think… Jonestown definitely started like this."

I also assumed that the Life and Death Brigade was a dream sequence, and then it just kept going and going and going…

You may have already seen this, but if not, here's a lovely ode to Paris from Vulture: http://www.vulture.com/2016…

This is the weakest episode for me (about to press play on “Fall,” here's hoping it will be back up to standard). There was some good stuff - particularly Lorelei’s fight with Rory, everything in and around the secret bar, and that gorgeous Sutton Foster solo to close out the episode. But the run-through of “Stars…

I need a gif of Paris kicking the bathroom door shut STAT.

And just wait for the reveal of Luke's father! …wait, what?
