I look forward to it almost as much as the inevitable stare down between Jonathan Banks and Vince Gilligan in Community later this year.

I am so totally using "Ref maybe you should check your voicemail, I think you missed a few calls!" at every sporting event I go to from now on.

I'm actually quite disappointed to hear this. I've always generally enjoyed her work.

I too was always surprised that no one stood up for coach. Though I suppose it was just a side effect of everyone's mind being elsewhere? They were all thinking about college, or the wedding and for the first time football didn't seem so important.

I shipped Eve with horrible imminent death

You just can't woo
I can too woo
It's just not true

Yeah, I am fairly certain that Barney's issues would be obvious to any real person.

Oh in this case definitely. This was probably the first episode I enjoyed without reservation all season.

I think what you meant to say was Milioti continues to add energy to episodes that would otherwise be stale.

I think this episode did a good job of showing how they can be stuck in one place, but still make use of that patented HIMYM narrative structure twists. All the other episodes felt like some regular sitcom trying to rip off HIMYM's style and somewhat succeeding. This was the real deal.

And of course they actually expect the refs to call a fair game.

There were a solid 4 or 5 moments when he went full Heisenberg and then immediately back to Druthers. One of the things that I will always find most impressive about Cranston is how quickly he can switch from dramatic to comedic.

I can't begin to say how awesome it was to have Marshall interacting face to face with members of the gang. His road trip needs to end asap.

Hip-Hop has actually been trending away from the celebration of success/misogyny over the past few years. Maybe not entirely in the mainstream but it is a pronounced trend.

Everyone who sings in a baritone post 93 is accused of ripping off Vedder.

Yeah, everything after the 80's is either "post-punk" or "pop-punk" (the latter of which has to be the most hilarious oxymoronic genre name in history).

Exactly, its why even though it is a great film I've always considered it to the the worst of Hitchcock's accepted "great films".

and we are all Sonia Saraiya…

There are two possibly official episodes. One seemed to be a lost season 1 outtake where Britta was a normal person and tried to get a school dance running. The other was a Body-Swap episode likely from season 3 as it turned what should have been terrible into something watchable.
