I actually think Kristen made the strategic move that she could work her way back into the finals through LCK. And this was a boon to TC, because with her winning from LCK they can point to its relevance.

I will take Hung over Blais any day, although I admit that like 90% of my affection for Hung is based on that insane diorama he made from breakfast cereal in the supermarket aisle quickfire challenge.

To be fair, the Cat in the Hat is an asshole in the books, too.

I loved how this episode really dug into Doug's character, and his isolation from even his own mother. (And I hadn't realized how much I'd missed Oscar Nuñez — he does slow-boiling exasperation and low-key weirdness so well.)

It doesn't feel nearly as upbeat and optimistic as The Good Place to me — it's really reminding me of the first two seasons of The Office.

And practicing his Western Hemisphere Brunch Banter.

I am actually kind of impressed that the show cast a Filipino-Chinese actor to play a Filipino character who is mistaken for a Taiwanese monk in the afterlife.

Interesting — I have kids, and loved it. Although what I loved was the way it wasn't afraid to lean into the quiet moments and let them lie.

I love Order so much. I love how so many of the characters make huge mistakes because they're blinded by their own pride. I love that Umbridge is the main villain. I love that we start to learn more about Neville.

My favorite line is Jefferson at the end of the Election of 1800, upon learning that the second-place finisher becomes veep: "Oooh, you know what? We can change that, you know why? 'Cause I'm the president." So smug. So hilarious.

I don't know why this made me laugh so hard I cried, but it did.

Oh dang, I remember one mystery that hinged on the fact that Chinese tea cups don't have handles. It was probably another ten years before I saw an actual Chinese tea cup in real life.

The "an elephant who never forgets . . . TO KILL!" line is delivered so perfectly.

I am so bizarrely glad to see Chuggington on this list. Sodor may be a dystopian landscape, but Chuggington is like Thomas on cocaine.

I love everything about Sally Langston. She's demented and influential and having a lot of fun as a talk-show host. (Related, I'm quite sure she knew her husband was closeted.)

Zoe Jarman is far from telegenic.

She reminds me a little bit of Madonna in the 1983-84 era, with the short, bleached, curly hair.

This comment has me wondering if being raped by her training officer was actually part of the official training — to see how she'd react in that kind of situation.

I found this episode so much more devastating than other episodes which have had high body counts.

How old is the character? "Geriatric pregnancy" refers to mothers aged 35 and up — which seems crazy to me, as most people I know don't even start having kids until then.
