This season did a very good job of showing how life, regular everyday life, is so difficult in Moscow (never mind the rest of the USSR). Martha, a valued asset who was told that she would be treated with respect by Gabriel when she landed in Russia, seems to have the single saddest dinner known to Man on the reg (and…

Thanks, Dowd's Mom!

And they put subtitles in this film to make it more "commercial".

Tecate was the first Mexican beer that I ever had in a can. It's odd to me to see it in bottles (not unlike PBR- I know it's sold in bottles, but I always think of it as a "can" beer), and it sort of a had a kind of cache (20-odd years ago) as the 'real' MX brew.

The fine folks at Modelo seem to be doing a good job of pushing Especial on draft to a lot of bars and restaurants in the Northeast; I've only seen Negra on draft in a couple of places, though- would love to see it more.

Well, if anything's going to happen, it's going to happen out there.

Oh honey.

You'd think so, except the West Mesa Bone Collector— OMG NACHO IS THE BONE COLLECTOR

Example #146 of being filmed in Toronto: Armoury Street in Downtown T.O. (shoulda digitally erased the sign, guys, unless the Crappy CGI Budget was all used up on the super-realistic, not-at-all-fake-looking Jefferson Memorial).

"Ohhh, here comes the beat!"

AHM SAW-RAY!!!

What's telling about his run was how many acts he was in where he elevated whoever was appearing with him. The ratchet McDonald's workers with Cecily, the vegan bits with Timberlake, being the straight man in sketches with Louis CK and Aykroyd/Martin; despite his breakout Drunk Uncle (plus Ass Dan- RIP), the…

RIP. As someone who worked in bars and kitchens, we all looked at Cornell as one of us. Before he was the "Architect of Grunge" (whatever the fuck that means), he was a prep cook, then a sous chef, then becoming a head chef. Every time he got a promotion meant he would be able to buy a better guitar, an amp, or…

Well, do YOU want to be accused of cultural appropriation? WELL?!?

YEAH! READ A BOOK!

"Are you being sarcastic, dude?"

I dunno- Sheriff Eli comes off as a tremendous jerk, but it could also be that he's had to reign in a bunch of Dirty Harry-types over the course of his career (plus his story about how not falling in line and obeying orders leads to people getting killed in Iraq was instructive), and he needs to be a hardass in order…

When Nash had Jay and Phil each say something nice to each other- the look that Burrell gave the camera after Jay gritted out "You seem…happy" saved the ep from being a total waste.

I was honestly confused when Maggie Q remote started her car, and it cut to the Ford dashboard- was she turning it into a drone?

Heh…backfired
