Tomas going to Jessica, then straight to confession, almost seemed deliberate to me. Like he dove straight into the temptation and so rid himself of that vulnerability when facing the demon. It was against his vows, but he chose to make that sacrifice for Casey's sake. We'll see how that plays out the next time he…

Probably something like that. It would have been good to have addressed that in the dialogue somehow though.

Yeah, possibly it's too soon. I wonder if they'll use the head spinning in the next episode, during the full-episode exorcism. It's probably the most famous image from the movie, right?

Interesting. Had that person violently attacked another person or were they just exhibiting psychotic behavior? I imagine that whole question was omitted for narrative purposes mostly. In the original movie, all the events took place in their home, right? I thought it might be a new story line, where they could…

I love his little cringe face when he's improvising reasons why he and his friends would want to make a sensory deprivation tank to their science teacher over the phone. Just perfect.

It really was. I can't imagine a better fictionalized portrayal of the aftermath of Katrina. Sorry, American Crime Story.

I posted before, but I used the c-word, so it may not show up. Oops!

Some of Tricia's interactions are played for laughs, not all, but I think that choosing to have her have Tourette's is more of an investigation of the power of words, which Louis CK has talked about a bit in his standup and in the show when he contrasted how people reacted to Tricia and Kurt saying "cunt" or having…

I'm incredibly impressed with this show's portrayal of mental illnesses. So often shows simplify or sensationalize. Pete's struggles are incredibly poignant, and Horace's fear and concern seem so authentic. I've been enjoying this show, but this episode hit it at a different level.

Add me to the Love It list. Never skipped it, always chair dance to it.

In Jingle Bell Rocks! http://jinglebellrocks.com/, Run tells this story a little differently. And funnier.

I saw that same bit from him, but I think it was on the Smothers Brothers in the late '80s.

There was this thing a couple of weeks ago where Arcade Fire was doing a free performance at a small venue in downtown Montreal, at the Salsatheque. People were lined up forever, not everyone got in. I had heard they filmed a video, but had no idea this would be the result.

He's best known for his role as Barney Miller.

Wait. What? Did the reviewer just call Hal Linden "too unappealing for words"?

Some cynical part of me thinks it might be a ploy, just to up Aaron's narrative, as they so like to do on this show. "From almost not making it to the top 20 to all-around winner!"

Yeah, I remember that being mentioned at some point, that it became an inside running gag. 

It's very much not implausible that it's Christopher's first visit to Stars Hollow. It's possibly personal experience being reflected here, but it didn't even occur to me that someone might think it implausible.

Usually, after the first viewing, a movie scene will lose some of its emotional impact. It won't affect you as strongly. But that scene in The Champ has made me cry every single time I've seen it over the years, and that's all down to Ricky Schroder.

At first I heard "immortal", but then doesn't it make sense that the only reason she's not crashing the helicopter into the ocean is because she's mortal? As in, it's the only thing stopping her from killing everyone on board? I didn't go back to check.
