Now I'm picturing Lucille Bluth swanning around the carnival campground in Elsa's marabou-trimmed robe, snapping out "I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it."

The absurd part: I knew the magazine read "Friday Night," but my hands still insisted on typing "Late Night" anyhow.

My feed kept freezing and cutting out at critical moments.

Whoops, that's a glitch in the interface: My grade should have been saved as a plain ol' B, and I hope it is now. The site can take a few minutes to display changes. Sorry about the confusion!

You're absolutely right; that was my hands on autopilot and I've corrected the error! Thanks for catching that.

Bamford's Cheryl is coming back in future episodes, including next week (according to IMDB and USA's promotional spots). I assume her recurring appearances are due to a budget restriction, a scheduling restriction, or both.

The much-discussed Dr. Sugar sounds too symbolic to be real, I know, but Dr. Oscar Sugar was a real neurosurgeon. And the Tattlers would have been interested in him: In 1952, he separated the Brodie twins, who were conjoined at the head.

You're right: The show flips opposing counsel's seating, placing prosecution on left and defense on right, then switching them later, in several episodes. It's distracting, though I have no sense of whether it's realistic.

Oh, of course, that makes sense! Good catch, thank you.

Thanks for pointing it out the error! I've corrected it.

I'll admit that I cackled all through this episode, hard enough that I had to rewind several times to take notes for the review. It's a mess, but it's a fun mess.

Correct on all counts, and especially on this one: Erik Adams is overly awesome.

… and the burned bits of the police officer makes three, which shows you how easy it is to lose count.

The residents of Fraulein Elsa's Cabinet Of Curiosities are so weary of funerals, they didn't even bother to finish burying Ethel. They just plunked her into the ground and threw some handfuls of dirt on before they wandered off.

"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT NAME IN THIS HOUSE?" I am going to miss Frances Conroy, if she's really done for the season.

I would add a few more, especially the cut from Stanley assuring Elsa that she'd win an Oscar one day to Elsa's stiff, overblown emoting all over Ethel's phony death scene.

Well, if they had two bodies, they could appear on-screen simultaneously. I think what we're looking at here is two entities in a single shape-shifting body.

It was so satisfying to see Bamford show up wearing the "SMOKE POT" shirt, like putting the last piece of a puzzle into place.

When I'm reviewing a show, and especially a show that takes place in an overtaxed, strained institutional system, I distinguish between in-universe rule-breaking errors and out-of-universe reality-breaking errors.

This review went up later than usual, so it's not surprising it has fewer comments than it might otherwise. When I'm able to see the episode in advance and post the review immediately after broadcast, there's a little more commenting activity overnight.
