man they're never gonna see the necromancer again, they're just trying to get back to normal

is "Redneck Crew" what we're calling them? I was thinking "Joe Dirtbags"

alpha/omega?

how can you say that Nice Guy and Creeper don't apply to Boyle? there's a fucking thing called the Full Boyle named for This. Actual. Character. That thing called that name is the combination of those tropes, plus a little bit of overdrive, which we've seen him into with pizza and his fiancee and panini and oh

how do i spell out retaliation any more clearly when the word itself is right there ^^ look there it is again

then why the fuck did you want her to be your friend in the first place? read a riot act and dtmfa

to a Nice Guy, embarassment isn't self-caused. it's her fault he's embarrassed.

sorry, "pua" ? I don't know that term.

Hear here (or however that phrase is written). Diaz and Boyle having no chemistry is the biggest part of why he's such a creep.

since time immemorial, younger stars getting promoted above older veterans has been the result of failure and the cause of resentment. i can see no better reason for bullock's dirty turn than gordon's ascendance. look at rust cohle or jimmy mcnulty, frex, to see a cop gone wrong because of some problem in his career.

The A.V. Club

the damn role he was born for. it's like the first time seeing john goodman dressed as fred flintstone, or robert downey jr. as tony stark. ridiculously well-cast. good thing he's done with copper, eh?

she worked at that hospital, she might have been a doctor

yeah- at first, because of the way she was walking, i thought it was natasha leggero, but then she spoke and i was like "oh hell that's jen kirkman"

i haven't seen any vinegar strokes on kroll show just yet, but here's …hoping? no, wait. the opposite of hoping. here's dreading.
