"…and he compares the hosts’ nonlinear memories to Christopher Nolan’s Memento."

Right? I come to these recaps to get insight on things I missed, not to yell things like "They're OBVIOUSLY planning a park for Asia!" at my computer screen. Another part of the park we haven't seen? Sure, probably, but good lord that's what you take from seeing Samurai hosts?

She's sorta pretty though, which I thought it was some sort of feminist commentary I didn't get, like she wasn't funny but got where she was because she was pretty because guys run everything or something…

At the same time, have you seen SNL in the past ____ years?

I just came here to bitch about Studio 60 because I feel like no one's done that and man, apparently people really didn't like that show.

Maybe I'm the only one, but the Incubus track was always my favorite by far.

This was so over my head, thank you for pointing this out. I feel like I need to go rewatch the entire show.

I would like to thank this post and these comments for clearing up that "abobo" = abortion. My wife and I paused on text she sent to re-read it, we both just sort of agreed it must be some kind of a dessert.

This was my thought as to why it wasn't as much of a stretch as Myles here makes it out to be. There's some kind of raping goin on in there, that's justifies a battering ram to the door to stop it in my book.

"mommy brain"?

If you didn't laugh at Kevin's reaction to watching Yanis spin screaming donuts in his fiery wheelchair of death I don't know what to say. That was an all time great moment on the show for me.

Depending on how many episodes you missed, I'm pretty sure all you missed was 2-3 hours of the governor walking around that led up to him fighting the prison for real (when he could have done it like 8 episodes earlier). Or, it's the arc I like to call "How Governor Got His Tank Back".

I think it depends on how you look at American Beauty, but to me it's sort of perfect that it's what he wants to do because it's the "least possible amount of responsibility." But also, plot device - having the headset to the intercom is the catalyst for the 3rd act (I think, it's been a while). If he'd mowed lawns

I'm like this to a fault, 20% even if it's sub par. Someone has to legitimately be terrible for me to do less, and even then it's over 15%.

The comparison to Lost season 2 is exactly what I used this morning in describing it to my wife (who doesn't watch). Seasons 3 and 4 of Lost really are the most fun though, so there's that.

I swore off the Apple demon recently, when my last iPhone screen cracked and I upgraded to a 6s. Come to find out, I couldn't activate my phone on my (maybe 4 year old) MacbookPro because the Macbook won't support the most up to date version of iTunes that is required for activation. My iPhone backup file was too

It's absurd, it's actually easier to name the actresses he hasn't slept with.

Hard Candy has a bunch of great tunes (hard candy, up all night, holiday in spain) - but the Big Yellow Taxi cover wound up being this unholy piece of shit afterthought. The version of the CD I had (maybe an import?) had 2 covers at the end of Hard Candy that appeared later on their covers album - 4 White Stallions

I'll defend every Counting Crows album, and I get people saying Saturday Nights/Sunday Morning sucks more than any of their others. But man, This Desert Life is far from their bed shitting moment. Hangin' Around, just about being hungover and burnt out is pretty universally relateable and that guitar riff over

The thing about AAEA is it really has this glossy sheen to the production, more so than any of their other albums. I thinks it's great, most all the songs are great (they're mostly better live) but I really think Recovering the Satellites sounds the best (Gil Norton) and is their best album overall for me.
