Is anyone else a little dismayed that Netflix doesn't seem to be promoting this at all? It doesn't appear anywhere on the home page, even if you scroll all the way through the "Netflix Originals" pane :/

I liked Jonah's joke on the AV Club Live interview that if nothing else, he will unify the Joel vs. Mike camps by giving them a common enemy.

Sitting and waiting is a choice that you're making. You could also just go about your life and check out season 3 whenever it comes along. Cool and interesting art doesn't always come out according to a precise schedule and I don't understand why people can't deal with that.

In an age where there's more TV shows (and good ones!) than anybody could possibly ever have time to watch, I'm consistently baffled by this whiny petulant attitude I see when something takes a while to come out. If you have no interest in waiting, then don't!

Dan Harmon immediately offered to hire her, which is awesome.

I was rooting for them to succeed after dumping Dov Charney. Too bad.

We took some students at the school where I work to see this today, and I'm very glad they saw it (especially, of course, the black girls), but yeah, the screenplay is cliched and hacky. (As another commenter mentioned, the "It's 1962 and we are black women in Alabama" line was particularly egregious.)

To quote Bill Hicks, "John Lennon - murdered, John Kennedy - murdered, Martin Luther King - murdered, Gandhi - murdered, Jesus - murdered….. Reagan….wounded."

It's a Residents hat.

Franco and McBride having a full-volume screaming match over where in Franco's house McBride should and shouldn't be allowed to cum was the hardest I've ever laughed in theaters.

It's kind of uncanny how perfect a fit he is for this job. Like, not only is his resume ideal on paper (successful and razor-sharp TV comedy writer, bad movie connoisseur and expert riffer), but his particular sense of humor is also just such a good fit for MST. He has the exact same affable, good-natured ability to

Spent many years as Jon Stewart's head writer and co-hosts the phenomenal bad movie podcast The Flop House. He's hilarious, a huge movie nerd, and a riffing machine. Perfect fit.

Who cares? Where's my "Elliott Kalan is the new Head Writer of MST3K" newswire?!
edit: Ah, I see someone beat me to it.

1. Doesn't really come across in writing, but Titus Burgess's delivery of "People outgrow kimonos, it happens all time, they don't fit anymore, ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?"

I think that, despite Walt's increasingly obvious malevolence, the audience enjoyed watching him evolve from a hopelessly square pushover into a brilliant criminal mastermind, and the weird hostility against Skyler was because they felt she was impeding his growth or whatever. The Jimmy / Kim dynamic is different,

No, he didn't. Chuck says "Kim Wexler and Jimmy, partners at law…", and Howard does not correct him, because he knows nothing motivates Chuck more than sabotaging his brother.

I'm confused about that too. My guess is that he isn't able to let Hector threatening his family go that easily and wants to take down the Salamancas. I agree that it doesn't really make a lot of sense, though.
