We all assume that the 5th car was a black Cadillac right?

He's not invisible inside his car.

I rewatched the beginning of the episode twice and both times I laughed at Archer walking to the bathroom dragging a streak of blood across the apartment.  Lust is a strong motivator.

I can give you the first-time viewer perspective. In spite of the
significant goodwill I have towards the cast, I just did not find this
episode funny. I understand that my enjoyment of the show would be
enhanced if I had familiarity with the characters and their
relationships, I just do not see how I would ever…

This is the first episode that I watched in its entirety since season 1. I just do not find the show to be funny, at all.

Jesse has much better samurai skills with wood debris though. I think he would be able to defend himself.

And let's revisit a Blessing and a Curse while we're at it.

Hold Steady is in as far as I am concerned. Keeping in mind that the last album had The Sweet Part of the City, The Weekenders, Hurricane J, Our Whole Lives and A Slight Discomfort… Yeah, I'll say A-.

"They were HUGE contributors."

Catch-22 was assigned reading in my senior year of high school and I think I read it twice that summer. The next summer I read the book five times in one month because I just wanted to commit some of those quotes to memory.

I thought people usually considered Season 2 to be the second best of the series after Season 4?

For me the newsroom and related stories of Season 5 were the most disappointing. And I assume that I am the only one who likes Season 3 a lot more than Season 4 and 1 more than 2.

But her verse on Monster is vastly overrated, much like the album as a whole.

They are coming up the East Coast this week.

I would say the same thing about an album with Streetlights, Soldiers Get Strange and Seven Mile Island

Can you imagine if that lackluster first half of Go Go Boots were replaced by the four or five best songs on this album? Alternatively, how much better would this album be if it had Pulaski and The Thanksgiving Filter on it?

Firefly
Where is it?

Did someone just misquote Meatloaf?

I was very happy with how they handled the watch reveal given that Coover intended for Loretta to see it.

If I had a criticism for this episode it is the "Happy Daddy's Day" drawing on the father's file cabinet at work. Did he really still have that from when she was a kid or did it belong to someone else? a family photo would have been much more plausible.
