Wow. Died for nothing… On the plus side, your cremation will satisfy those that wish you to die in a fire.

Who doesn't love Jack doing voices? Billy Dee! Jack Donaghy IS Lando Calrissian.

The Opening
I thought the opening with the tuxedo was too much. When the opening credits hit, I was thinking "Funny, but too cartoony. Nobody would actually do that."

I completely agree. I kept waiting for Michael to bring up the fact that his branch's numbers had improved while everyone else was falling. It wasn't just his opinion that he works better without accountability. The numbers back that up.

And as long as we are going with AV Club fetish shows, how about the rise and fall of Creation/Mission Control?

William Hung and the Hung Jury had a major hit with "Mock Trial with J. Reinhold" Then it all came crashing down…

You're a crook, Captain Hook.

Motherboy. They rocked pretty hard in the 70s.

Best if the Season
I thought this episode was the best of the season so far, and right up there in terms non-arc episodes. The boxer was a fully realized character (unlike virtually every other soul ever) and I actually got a little invested in his story, which I don't think ever really happened last season, aside…

But the Flash costume was also a call back to the Halloween episode last season where all four guys were going to go to the costume party at Penny's dressed as Flash.

SyFy
OK. I'll watch now.

I've got it! "Alladin Sane"

Gina Gershon
I thought that it was so obvious that Gina Gershon was the killer that it couldn't possibly be her. I was hoping that they were going to subvert expectations and that the killer was going to be the dude at the Swinger Party with the video camera in a sort of nod to the Hogan's Heroes dude. I think it…

I guess "Sufferagete City" would be a little on the nose, huh?

Shit! I got that one wrong on my SATs…

Actually, based on the fuller cast list, I'd say instead of him being a midget, he's just going to be a honkey, and played by James Marsden.

Air Force One was pretty badass.

The Car on the Street
Needs to be said, Tuco's car in the junkyard scene was an escalade. The car parked on Walt's street that pulled away when he was staring at it had "GMC" on the grill. It's not Tuco.

Can't have a discussion about SNL fucking up great comedian guests this season without talking about Steve "Why In God's Name Do You Have Me Playing the Straight Man in Every Fucking Sketch?" Martin. Yes. That is his middle name.

I would like to put in a vote for De Palma's "Phantom of the Paradise."
