@avclub-9faa8bdc4a84b8217726cb1bfb903baf:disqus , i think there's a level of difference between "nice read, velma" and the show actually reusing a shot and one of its characters calling something that happened "footage". the first is a meta joke spoken by a genre-savvy character, and not jarring. the second is a…

i really, really hated that joke. not in itself, but in this show. it just doesn't belong in archer. they've never broken the fourth wall or the show's reality before, and to do it now for the sake of a pretty old joke was really jarring.

i don't know why i can't reply to you, @intangible_fancy:disqus …

the idea that the (until this episode) most recent intersect had been saboutaged didn't really bother me at all. it fit the whole shaw comeback routine and didn't seem out of place — but i can see how it, for you, violated occam's razor by providing a more complex answer than was necessary to the question of why it…

i said this down below, but it's more relevant up here so i'm moving it.

*post moved upstairs*

wait, wait.

for relevance: my ex-girlfriend is a beautiful, funny, extremely clever person. she's also incredibly, incredibly attractive. when she first arrived in my little circle of friends, we ended up together. being sort of mousy and silly and nerdy, was not used to any interest at all. soon after we broke up, she was…

i wonder if it was an intentional joke along the lines of "you'd have to be crazy to think all of these events make sense".

it was this F that started it, but it was the stream of twenty-nine A+ reviews in a row between seasons 6 and 7 that eventually gave away his broken mental state.

he does both incredibly understated and massively clownish work in The Wild Party (LaChiusa version). having said that, he is playing, well, a clown. his performance blows me away.

yeah, the whole episode i was waiting to hear someone call out shawn or otherwise draw attention to the fact that he's been conning juliet since day one of their relationship.

wait, you didn't like the glenn beck parody? i thought it was INSPIRED.

I would love to see John Slattery as Jeff's dad. I don't see Murray as the boozing, abusive type AND the charming con-man type. I feel like I'd only buy him one or the other.

it goes to show that no matter how good a show like "Homeland" might be, it still gets fucked over by goddamn "V".

the tea thing seemed wrong at the time, for the same reason it did to todd. when you spend so much time "with" someone, like carrie has, you start forgetting if you've already told them a certain joke, or when you first saw a sweatshirt they wear, or when and how you found out what tea they like. sure, if she THOUGHT…

Weed jokes are "edgy" now? Please. If it took any kind of bravery to tackle weed jokes… you know, I can't even finish that sentence. It's just such an inane concept.

This is important. Robin chose Kevin because he's NOT messed up. She didn't chicken out, but she looked at Kevin and saw stability, happiness, emotional strength and a healthy relationship. Barney can't really offer those things, at least not right now. When she shook her head to Barney, it wasn't, "Sorry, I'm a…
