Not trying to be a dick, but it was "charring my tree", and I only say this because it's a funnier line.

I think that's pretty astute about the Michael Cera stuff. Some of it may be a stretch, but that's like the exact same mustache he has in YOUTH IN REVOLT (not that it's a particularly unusual mustache, but still).

I found it very interesting that when they re-showed the Cornballer Richard Simmons flashback, they show young George Sr from the top of his head, but cut the take earlier than they usually do, to avoid showing his face, because now it is ROGEN.

Seriously, funnier than the renegade tumbleweed entering Michael's home. And then Michael trying to (and unsuccessfully) fighting the tumbleweed?

A GREAT example of this is when Maggie Lizer tells him she's pregnant. He says, "Didn't we use a condom?" And she responds with, "No, you thought I was blind."

I really thought about this scene, but she says, "I fucked that guy," not "He's the father of my child" or something. It's hardly a definitive answer, but I felt if George Michael WAS the father, she'd have phrased it a little differently. Regardless, I appreciated the pregnancy being there to confuse, all the same.

I just wanted to say that I don't think the "And Jeremy Piven" joke was understood properly. Now, it's entirely possible that I misunderstood it, but I think I got it right. Basically, the idea that the building that Jeremy Piven's name is on in the opening credits of ENTOURAGE, is an ACTUAL building that they built…

"I bet it was the FAT GRIP."

"But I don't let them tell me what to do—I DON'T let them tell me what to do."

So glad to see the wealth of comments on here; these unaired episodes are wonderful, and some great callbacks to things like the tranq gun and ""Arigato HEYY". It's funny that this show was actually SUPER continuity heavy; The DWTS stuff, Mark's girlfriend, June's job, and Chloe's "relationship" and probably one of…

"Is THIS the play?" immediately after the play was mentioned was so, so good.

The Christmas episode is next week; and it's a "Rope" homage. It's the episode I've been looking forward to most all season, and I really, really, REALLY hope they fully embrace this and do the episode as a "single" shot. Psychoville did it. X-Files did it. This show is more than capable.

Bizarr-OH, Bizarr-OH, Bizarro YES!

Grizzlebees delivers now?

It's gotten more and more apparent through seasons as well. In this last season, I actually thought, "Okay, he's just a homosexual now."

I'm surprised that no one has really spent a lot of time talking about their high school reunion. That episode/event is their collective breaking point and moment of no return. That is why this latest season was all about repetition and regression.

They're both novelists. With I assume Alan Ball just helping them map out a season of TV (which I think is a better role for him, than actually writing).

Godric's death in the second season nearly made me cry and was as beautifully shot as stuff out of movies.

Was the son not seen once before? Maybe not actually seen, but I'm positive we got something with the real Hood's phone ringing, and at least hearing his kid's voice leave a message. Maybe even in the first episode. Something that at least told (fake) Hood that this WOULD be (even more so) problematic. Either way.…

Honestly, episode three is what turned it all around for me. That fight BECOMES the episode. It just starts, and then it just keeps going until you're like, "What the fuck is even happening right now?" It's a beautiful exploration into anger and going too far.
