Excellent sketches this week, but for me the introductions to the sketches are usually the best part. "Yup, I got some gas too."

@subpar US adaptation of a witt:disqus @Jay S.:disqus Key & Peele and Portlandia also aren't expected to do topical sketches. People expect SNL to comment on the previous week's events.

I agree. And it proves that SNL should begin to hire more comedians who don't come exclusively from Second City.

Yeah, you're right. I retract my previous comment.

Excellent find. I do have to say that the writers did play it one episode too long. If they had switched last week's Brody episode with this week, they might have kept themselves in the good graces of the fans. But yeah, great twist.

I don't get why Leo having killed his brother would mean that Dana is in danger. I suspect that anyone but Dana would be killed in this scenario.

1) I agree disagree with Todd. It doesn't makes sense that this was the plan all along. The interview @lull89 links to makes that clear. It almost makes clear why Saul told Quinn that he was sure that he wouldn't be quitting the CIA by the end of this mission. Saul knew what the plan with Carrie was all along.

Yeah, it's almost like Carrie suffers from a severe mental illness or
something.

It may be a slum, but people are often remarkably well put together there. This is a real paragraph from a story in the NYT about the real Tower of David:

You recorded Heart-land didn't you? Has there ever been two shows with such similar names but with completely different subject matter?

Yup, Washington law firm is usually understood to mean lobbyists. But I don't suspect that he was there on behalf of a foreign government. Probably there to get more information for the bankers from last week.

1) Todd, your theory that the banksters are somehow connected to the funding of the now abandoned building is not absurd. The real Tower of David was originally funded by a wealthy banker in Venezuela named David Brillembourg. The building was abandoned after he died and a banking crisis in 1994 decimated the economy.

Hell yeah!

Our long national nightmare is finally over.

The most accurate part of the show.

Nice job electing Abbott—not. I've said it before and I'll say it again: democracy simply doesn't work.

Right. But it's a small edit for an executive producer at a cable news
network. Why would anyone even notice someone changing Oxford to
Cambridge?

"Still dark, better use the generator."

I think we can infer that because the law-talking lady brought it up during Sloan's deposition. She asked it in a way that suggested she knew that was the case and was clarifying why no one brought it up.

BREAKING BAD SPOILER!!! What's the more unbelievable epiphany: Mac realizing the interview was edited because she saw the clock ticking down? Or Jesse figuring out that Walt poisoned Brock after fiddling around with his cigarettes?
