I'm really digging the show so far, but I'm hugely disappointed with the Silent Bearded Twins. (They're even dressed alike! Please.) They are much too close to the Silent Bald Cousins from Breaking Bad, a pair of characters I also thought very silly. I guess they're supposed to be a different take on the Hired Goon…

I remember seeing a behind-the-scenes thing on Grease in which it is mentioned that Olivia Newton-John had to be "sewn in" to those black pants she wears. So probably not spandex.

No one's mentioned it yet, but I loved his part as a depressed dinner party guest on Curb Your Enthusiasm as well.

I remember when they were cross promoting with Disney when Mulan came out, and they had this Szechuan dipping sauce for the chicken nuggets, and as a kid I hated burgers and only ate the chicken nuggets. That sauce changed everything for me, and then they snatched it out of my sticky little fingers, never to offer it…

Ugh, a selfie thread? The TI comments section was fun until it turned into Facebook.

The first death, the suicide-by-hair-chopsticks, was so funny I thought it was going to be a great movie, but it went downhill from there.

The second one.

In that case, I shall be outraged at the film for colorwashing the albino community!

But the whitest characters were also the evilest.

I also loved the phone call, both for the reason you mentioned and for the fact that Keener's character had clearly dialed expecting another fight, then she was completely disarmed when the mayor actually answered the phone. I'm sure she thought she'd get a secretary who'd try to blow her off, and had probably planned…

Well, we're sure to get a lot of Woody.

Hey, that's the name of the website!

The way Bridgers delivered that kettle corn line was so skillful—just pure sadness and resignation, not a hint of a comedic or sarcastic tone. And it was still funny.

Gah, can I come over? I'll try to sneak a couple Fruit Roll-ups out of the pantry.

Not a serious gamer nor a Gameological reader, but I had an "edutainment" computer game as a kid that was awesome and I loved it. It was called Juilliard Music Adventure, and the premise was that a demon called Noise had taken over a musical castle and imprisoned its queen, and you had to solve a number of musical…

The focused intensity this show had in the first season has slowly diffused over the course of the series, but that is far from a bad thing. It continues to ripple out to all our characters, and results in tiny moments of devastation. One in particular that stood out for me this week was Christopher comparing Hanna's…

I hope his roommate is even stranger than he is. So it won't be Daniel the Normal, perhaps, but maybe Daniel the Straight Man?

Jon kissing Daniel on the cheek felt so real, I wondered if it (and Daniel's perfect response, "Cheeky!") was improvised. Almost a throwaway moment in a show filled with flashes of emotion so intense and slow to build they feel like supernovas, but for me one of the most touching, and true.

When I was a graduate assistant, I had a few students who were planning careers as police, and eventually police detectives. I told them they had to watch it.

Who?
