The White Christmas sketch was so frustrating. People who liked it will say haters are just being too PC, but I, as a hater, cannot identify what it is I'm allegedly trying to censor. Where was any hint of biting commentary or wit?

Out of town picking up Corky Ramirez from the airport.

To Glee's credit, they did address the distance between Bushwick and Manhattan when Rachel first moved there.

The supposed conflict w/ the other witches was underdeveloped.

Megan Follows was great as usual. Adelaide Kane was great as usual.

Up until this episode, I thought the show was clearly driving fans to root for Mash. And even this week's hookup seemed more based on circumstance than a truly legitimate love. Plus, Bash came off like a good guy the entire episode as well.

Todd admitted in the review that he wasn't entirely sure what she was doing. I'm not sure "ajax enemas" are common enough to receive "know it when you see it" status.

Little Black Dress sounds so much like Van Halen's Dance the Night Away. And I'm unsure if that's good for 1D or bad for VH.

Take This to Your Grave is an incredible album. This one doesn't compare to that.

Yes, you're obviously right.

She contributed to the furthering of the nonsense term "throwing shade," so screw her.

I'm not going to say you're wrong in principle.

I got chewed out for this on the relevant SNL article, but I'll bring it up again at the risk of more downvotes…they're definitely not a consistently flawless live act. Their live SNL version of "The Wire" was absent all the smooth, taut delivery that made the record sound like Shania Twain doing a cover of

Even Empire State of Mind was past Jay-Z's artistic expiration date. Stuff like The Blueprint, however, is quite good.

AKA "They're popular so they must suck"

I'd say the hollow, phoned-in Magna Carta Holy Grail is a far more egregious placement. At least Miley was TRYING to accomplish something.

Specific rankings aside (obviously HAIM's album wasn't better than Vampire Weekend's), I'm on board with most of this. The specific song mentions are weird. "Now" was easily Paramore's worst single to date and actually hurt their momentum a bit ahead of the release (they've done the best they can at getting it back

I'm not sure I quite understand why it's "boundary pushing," but "Rectify" had an absolutely fantastic first season.

I thought this was far stronger than the past two. At least it kind of came across like it wanted to accomplish something. The two Axeman-related episodes were the epitome of stalling.

Completely agree with point #2. The lack of "rules" is what curbed my enthusiasm for season one. The show seemed like it was building this governed universe regarding which ghosts would haunt the house, who grows old, who doesn't, who could leave, etc - but then it just decided to do whatever was convenient at a
