I enjoyed it for the parts where Lizzy Caplan started interviewing Alison Brie and Nabin got shut out. It reminded me of what I imagine high school was like for Nabin.

You could almost HEAR him jizz his pants when Lizzy Caplan gave him the lead in. His plug for himself almost seemed organic!

Yeah but think back… Would that story really have been able to stand on its own without Schmidt there? The writers just really have no confidence in Winston. I agree with @avclub-1881baeccb7399f3452cd7f37cdb2b29:disqus

Is it bad that when they walked in on Winston crying on his bed, I was really hoping he'd say he had cancer and he had to "go away for a while" and spare us the writers not having any clue what to do with his character? He doesn't even get his own plot! He stole Jess's!

@avclub-b89fc71ee73d1d6ec09693a1844bf3a2:disqus Especially since the big showpiece of the episode is a wacky, hijinks-ensuing "War of the Worlds" send-up. Hardly a "dark turn"…

@avclub-b97ca122d91f0a094bbf3f9808f4daf5:disqus All those things are relatable because they sound fun and exciting… Being a chronically insecure nebbish decidedly does not.

Nah. The book's central conceits (that America was close to electing a President like Lindbergh and that such a President would subsequently lead to a Fascist wasteland) don't ever seem justified. It's like the America of the 1940s wasn't antisemitic enough so Roth had to tweak it just so he had something to be…

Thank God. The Plot Against America was the most embarrassing thing I've ever read.

So shouldn't it pick a tone? Vacillating between the two doesn't seem like very good writing…

Thank you. I've been feeling the exact same way. I can't figure out the Oscar subplot. It's cruel and mean-spirited instead of funny, so I don't understand what we as the audience are supposed to do with it.

As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball. But tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!
