I stopped watching the sketch when Leslie fucked up her line. I'm actually a Leslie apologist in general but seeing her continue to fuck up her cue card readings like that is painful.

Yes insane libertarian billionaires suing independent media outlets out of existence is good! It's a great way to maintain a robust free press!

There's more than that. Or at least there used to be more than that out there.

I think the problem any comedy imitator of DJT has is that he himself is such a caricature he's very hard to parody. I agree AA's look and sound is more accurate but he's just impossible to parody. He's so absurd already there's nowhere further to take it.

I agree. It was one of his most accurate impressions. I totally disagree with Perkins. He sounded and looked just like O'Reilly. It was close to dead on.

The point is that any 53 year old who want to do that (alone, mind you) for his birthday would have to be a psychopath. It was teetering on the edge of whether to make that explicit and then just came right out and said it at the end. I don't see how you could see the first part of the sketch as "beautiful purity." It

They used to be more EDM but they're pretty much just a straight up pop act now so they can get the big big money.

I'm 44 actually but I honestly have no idea how one would buy music in this day and age. I just pay for streaming services. CDs are dead. I just never got into the vinyl hipsterism thing. Oh, I guess you could buy it from the iTunes store. Maybe that's what you mean.

"Buying" …"records"? I understand the words kind of but they don't make sense together.

Emily Nussbaum wrote that the Breaking Bad series finale "Felina" felt like some kind of dream sequence or wish fulfillment that Walt was dreaming about from New Hampshire or something. She wasn't saying that was what it was supposed to be but merely that it FELT that way and if viewed that way makes more sense: how

I never found Forrest remotely likable or lovable or what have you. Yes, he's like a naive child in a way but in that naivete he's bumbling through the world ruining peoples' lives and in some cases literally killing people. He's incredibly self-centered and completely blind to other peoples feelings in a way that's

Forest isn't even likable. And your description of Grant is a description of an evil person.

I was thinking in some ways that the most apt way for the show to end would be with Forest getting killed for a review in some ironic way or being driven to suicide by everything he's been through, the loss of Suzanne etc. But that's probably too dark for a comedy even a comedy this dark. Without doing that I think

It's amazing how over the course of the show Grant went from being just an asshole to being something like a super villain or the devil himself, which is what he seemed like in this series finale, with AJ playing the role of the angel on the other shoulder.

I was thinking that both the Pink Floyd and the T. Rex were probably by far the most expensive music licenses they've used all season. And they were both completely perfect. They saved it all to the end and used broadly known super popular songs but I thought both scored the scene they were used in perfectly.

Counterpoint: Iron Fist is garbage

I like your comments. But as someone who has a mental illness (bi-polar disorder) I strongly disagree with your take on David's mental illness or lack thereof and, I guess, agree with what the show is saying. He was assumed to be mentally ill, most likely severely schizophrenic, simply because his powers, telekenesis,

I think the going theory is that she does not.

Alex recaps both Mr. Robot and Legion so it seems we have identical tastes in television.
