Yeah, that was one of my major beefs with Demma. Dylan getting all hot and bothered for each of his brother's girlfriends is really gross. I forgive Emma, because she should have the world on a platter, but yuck, Dylan, yuck.

Uh-oh. You're on to me.

I agree with you re: what the writers were likely thinking would Bradley's value would be, but it's just still such a weird choice, when you consider how abrupt, distracting, and frankly almost random her return comes across. It's honestly like rookie 101 writing mistake-time, here.

Agreed. I had resigned myself to uncle, but as my early reviews of this season indicated, I wish he had never been introduced, or at least sent away ASAP.

HOW DO YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE BRADLEY….
Sorry, indulging my musical theater side there. I'm genuinely having a tough time explaining this Bradley situation.

I would highly recommend you also check out Make Another World, their last pre-hiatus record, which is phenomenal.

My partner said exactly that, and I couldn't disagree with either of you more, though I might grudgingly come around to your nickname, smartypants.

Agreed. Hurst underplays him so wonderfully, and especially on this show, any marginal character who is actually interesting and funny = huge leap forward.

Yep—from all reports, Glenn Quinn was a super nice guy and serious heroin addict. Passed away awhile back. It's all really sad, actually. (On the show and in real life.)

Thanks, Marya! Updating the availability description now.

Things that are funny to oneself on the couch at home are very different than things that are funny in the larger world. Much like Chaucer or the stand-up routines of Sinbad.

This actually felt like a season two episode in some ways, where there were some absolutely A+ moments threaded throughout a very spotty episode. It's an easy one to like, but it's a hard one to admire. At least for me—I'd be curious to hear your thoughts!

Yeah, they've really started playing up the film references this season.

It was just Chris Hansen's birthday a couple of weeks ago. Many happy returns, Chris Hansen. To catch a BIRTHDAY!

I enjoyed Thor: The Dark World quite a bit, but Space Pope is right: Malekith and the Dark Elves were the lamest MCU villain by a fair shake.

I look forward to your disparaging internet comments about me when I'm trying and failing to lift a fake bazooka 40 years from now on the set of The Expendables: Operation Miami Beach.

The existence of the rest of the sentence—"into the world of Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D."—suggests that the writer was aware someone would try to point out there's already another Marvel show. Luckily, he is also a fan of linguistic pedantry, so by law, we are now friends.

It's your attention to detail that pleases me, cappadocius. An abruptly discarded She-Thing joke was not followed by the attendant discarding of said image. You win the Marvel nitpick award of the day! Excelsior!

Seeing an Escape From Butcher Bay reference makes me so happy. I loved that game.
