Did Strong or Jost have any Update monologues this season or even extended interactions with each other, or, as it seems, was it all just news-joke-delivering and wacky-guest-character-straight-man-ing? Fey and Poehler and even Meyers had talent and charisma (and, yes, time to develop), but they also had…

"Colin Jost and Cecily Strong and the writing share equal blame here … Neither anchor is bringing much personality to the desk"

"Sir George of Lucas? Verily, tis thy cousin. Thy cousin, MARVIN of Lucas! Thou recallest the new tale for which thou hast been searching? Prithee, lend thine ears to THIS!"

David Clarke: "sike! jk"

Back to the Forest. So does that make Regina Biff?

[Emily enters the house, sees Aiden from behind.]
Me: "Wait, you're telling us that Victoria dragged his body all the way home by herself?"
[Cut to shot of Aiden's face.]
"See, even he can't believe it."

> is anyone else strangely starting to enjoy the dynamic between
Daniel and Margaux? … Together they could combine and merge the Grayson/LeMarchal bloodlines and create a super race of beautiful, EVIL children.

Could be. I'm definitely tuning in next week either way.

In the tease for next week, the voiceover announcer said "Say goodbye to Emily Thorne" and there was audio of a rather satisfied, triumphant sounding Victoria saying "You are Amanda Clarke!" all 'gotcha!" like. :/

I love that Zelena committed to 'dying' from whatever Dorothy had handy. "Oh dear, you've pushed me into a pile of leaves! How ever did you know my weakness?!"

Great episode, but I'm disappointed that Victoria seems to have figured out 'Emily's true identity on her own. I'd been looking forward to the dumbfounded look on her face when Amanda finally pulled off her figurative rubber mask.

I like to imagine that the Askewniverse versions of Damon and Affleck followed up Good Will Hunting 2 with a Blue & Gold franchise.

I remain willing to accept that you meant that Ginuwine is afraid of cousin baths.

" Selina is just like "what" and makes the most terrifying face ever"

"Jost is starting to reveal an ability to stare", full stop.

Thought #1: I wonder if Aidy Bryant getting a steak mashed in her face just created a new subgenre of porn? Thought #2: Nah, wondering if that's a new thing is probably a gross under-(over- ?)estimation of humanity.

I love her trademark Prematurely Mature Preteen characters. Just wish one had caught on as a recurring so she could build on it instead of diluting the brand with variations in different wigs.

Bennett has a natural arrogant uptight smugface look that would serve him well as a WU straight man against the more earnest, unstable type Strong seems to be headed towards. Strong and Bennett on the desk, Mooney as field correspondent, and Shaq & Charles on sports.

Her biggest role this week was 'Great Legs in Background'.

He seems affable enough, but his unwavering "here's something you may find mildly amusing" tone and expression add no color or texture to the material. The jokes would bland [Freudian autocorrect] just as well displayed as text at the bottom of the screen while he silently Mona Lisa smiles. For this week's homework,…
