If I could like this twice, I would.

"And really, Zach's failure to buy in is the fault of the show overall, with its spotty characterization and clumsy exposition."

In spite of its initial clumsiness, this is easily the best episode of this half-season. That all of the context for this episode's climax was crammed into the first thirty minutes is a testament to this second half-season's generally poor storytelling, not a fault of the episode itself. I'm surprised that the last…

I get all those critiques of Tarantino, and I get why some people don't like him. I personally love everything about a Tarantino flick, and about 90% of what I see in Rodriguez's movies. My point with Grindhouse was just that Tarantino's movie was a Tarantino Movie. Rodriguez's was just a bunch of genre cliches. But…

Grindhouse (as a double feature) shows this difference very clearly. I felt like Rodriguez piled a bunch of surface-level elements and empty references into a meaningless b-movie gorefest. Tarantino took the format and genre template and turned it into a real movie.

I checked the meat. It smells delicious, but it's also definitely sentient. It told me so.

It's my second favorite, but a damn good one. Damn good.

I'd totally watch a show that consisted of nothing more than Oprah telling people they need to "cut the bullshit."

Morris from Cloak & Dagger.

Agreed on the waste of William Forsythe, but damn if they haven't had some great cameos this season.

Does anyone know when the season is written and shot? I worried about the show when Leonard passed last year, and I hoped I'd be proven wrong. I've enjoyed the season (Justified on its worst day is still superior TV), and I enjoyed this episode, but I will finally admit it seems to kind of be at sea. It's too far…

Did Cusack learn nothing from The Ice Harvest? All respect to the late, great, Harold Ramis, that movie was dog shit.

I enjoy my memory of American Beauty. Sounds like I should keep it that way? I saw it in the theater my freshman year of college, and I just remember thinking it felt important and that my liking it suddenly meant I had good taste in "film" (I read Primiere magazine a lot at the time).

I loved Calvin & Hobbes, but The Far Side spoke to and informed my sense of humor more than anything else when I was a pre-teen/teenager. I still laugh just thinking about a few of the strips.

Oh dang, I'd forgotten about that one. More than him calling her a skank, I mainly remember her protesting, "I ain't no skank!"

"I don’t care who you are. Don’t play yourself. Respect as such. “SNL”,
all you writers, Lorne Michaels, respect it as such. Because when we’re
standing face to face, you know who you’re talking at. You know you see
me as a Gemini creator of 2014. You know you’re looking in the face of
Miles Davis, you know you’re…

I'm actually enjoying the lack of a Big Bad Guy. The last time they really did that, in Season 3, I got a little bored with it. There is an overarching storyline (or multiple storylines, rather), it's just more subtle than some past seasons. Plus, as Phillnterrupted said, the show's earned our trust and patience. I'm…

…and Judith (Prison Drug Queen Lady) was played by Dale Dickey, A.K.A. Spooge's Woman, A.K.A. Skank! from season 2 of Breaking Bad.

I assumed the point was that Marty doesn't "really know what to make of women." I assumed this because the whole entire series up to this episode has made, underlined, and highlighted that point.

Ok. Is Funny People-bashing now banned by Disqus? I'll say it more nicely: I also strongly hated that piece-of-garbage movie and it changed my opinion of Judd Apatow.
