"Gina" was the biggest fanservice move they've pulled yet, and Lana once wore nothing but stickers over her boobs for a whole episode. Are there standards and practices for animated programs on cable? Does FX actually have lines against animated nudity or sex vs. what this episode bumped up against (phrasing)?

It warms my heart to hear words like "Reagan" and "most racist regime on earth" joined in the same sentence. A perfect match made in hell.

Mustache Guy, Martha is just not into you, dude. You're starting to make Mail Robot uncomfortable. It's junking up the office vibes and bringing everyone down.

I'm impressed by anyone who can get themselves caught up enough in the drama to think for a moment that Ava was getting gunned down tonight with so much time left in the show, but those two were crackling all episode long. That was some hardcore psychological violence.

That infant actress put in a real superstar performance. She made that baby from American Sniper look like a plastic mannequin in comparison.

On the subject of your review, I think it's a mistake to say the joke is riding too hard on the old lady with the knickknacks. Yes, BCS is a show willing to take shots at seniors for being kind of lame and burdensome, but everything the show does is leavened by pointing out what a loser Saul is himself.

Psst, Mike, I think she made your surveillance, bro.

Except the show was making it obvious. It close-upped the doctor leaning down at the foot of the bed and then had Saul pout about it and accuse her of pulling a dirty trick.

In this case, P&R already shuffled through multiple potential series finales of varying degrees of humility and realism and heart-sleeve-wearing. This was a valedictory speech from Troll So Hard University.

Son, people can see you.

What's funny is, if you look at Parks & Rec's nationwide ratings, probably like 5000 people in the entire state of Indiana watch the show.

What you guys are all missing is that the show itself is a long con, meant to make you forget everything you already know about Saul Goodman and just who he really is once things start "going well" for him (as well as they could ever go for a drug lawyer, that is).

He kids about the Cinnabon in Omaha, but um, we know exactly how the story ends.

"Pastor Tim. And his wife."

On the topic of Choo Choo, what do we expect his grand karmic punishment to be?

Hoo boy, I don't think a black man getting unjustly tased is a good writing decision these days. Not even by Constable Bob and his Death Star balls.

I'm sympathetic to the show's creators for trying a new visual style for BCS. Prequel series, same location, same desert, same adobe, same ranch houses and strip malls, etc. Fair enough to mix it up a little and not ape Breaking Bad through and through.

You'd think the Centre, having already splurged on all those bagmen and drivers and spotters and aerobics-doing signals operators (and fresh new Andropov oil paintings), could shell out a little for some anesthetic for their agents and their emergency surgeries.

The FX Signature Main Cast Ass Shot. Hot damn. Keri Russell, Diane Kruger, Jax Teller, Louie (god help us)…um, Pam and Cheryl from Archer.

From watching Orphan Black, it was weird seeing Vic the Dick being the straight man to Tuco's special brand of psychopathy.
