Presumably your judgment that the show was not "that classy" in comparison to the book.

It may be one book but it is incredibly dense for its length and leaves a great deal unsaid or unshown. There is more than enough room, as we have seen already this season, to expand the world and the characters in it.

Neil Gaiman said to me via Twitter that he does not know how many episodes will be in any given season.

Boots, Pichael. Boots.

I had to stop the show because I was laughing so hard at "Please Dahmer, Don't Hurt Them"

Someone should go back and review the episodes the AV Club missed, though. >_>

Luck o' the Mike to ya!

Trust is great but not his best. I think it's probably Armed Forces, but it's a real tough call.

One of the great four-album runs in music history. I could go long on all of them (but I won't, because the AV Club doesn't like good music writing).

Coincidentally, I'm also listening to Iggy Pop this week, because the reissues of TV Eye, The Idiot and Lust for Life that I preordered earlier this year came in.

The pronunciation of "vases" fucking killed me.

You should have done what I did and contribute nothing of meaning here for years!

Nomination, even

Friends sucks.

I kept thinking "Is that Rob Riggle? No, I don't think so, it's too subdued," over and over during this episode.

I'm honestly having a hard time comparing the first three seasons to one another. I think tentatively that it's 2 > 3 > 1, but also it might be 2 > 1 > 3.

This, I think, was the best episode of the last portion of the season.

While I am young, I am also from Boston, so this reference is not lost on me!

I was not refuting the notion that Maya Rudolph is funny.

I keep checking in on this thread to see if/when you get to recommending something from MA/VT/ME, which put out more good beer a day than most of the rest of the country.
