Huh?  Ozzy has a rock-solid strategy: hang out with the other popular kids, belittle everyone else, and expect that everyone will vote as you and the other popular kids want because you guys are awesome.  Anyone who doesn't go along is obviously a traitor and scum - but they would never do that because they know they…

"Losing face" is an actual expression, so no need to put quotes around "losing" or explain what you mean by it, I think.

Similar to how when most Americans say "roof" it sounds like "ruff" or "roo-uff" to me, depending on where they are from.  When I point this out, they swear there is a difference between "ruff" and however they pronounced "roof".

It's call "caught-cot merger" if you want to look it up to see which dialects in the US have it and which don't.

Yes, I think that's exactly it.  I imagine Matt & Trey have gotten sick of people over the past week taking old Catholic, Michael Jackson, etc jokes and just changing a few names.

To @avclub-4b287f908bc71183ecd837b69d417c1a:disqus (about me sounding like Isaac Hayes) and @avclub-2d0cca95ad6a2061d208d765e79af478:disqus  (who brought up the episode featuring Catholic priests with kids on leashes, and who called me a self-absorbed bastard):  Good points.

This.

And the shots at agnostics were funny but par for the course in terms of the show’s satire of religions.

you could see every one of Adams’ punch lines coming a mile away

I skimmed and somewhat skipped the second and third paragraphs of this review.  I am not interested in speculation of possible fan reaction to the improbable ideas that this episode either killed Kenny permanently or is the start of a trend to kill Kenny again in every episode.  I don't think that there was anything…

I found the "fundamentalist agnostic" stuff pretty good.  Of course, much of it was the silliness of the very concept of a fundamentalist agnostic, insistently not knowing.  But I thought some of it was very close to positions actually taken by some real-life agnostics, who insist that questions about the existence of…

Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Here is a comparison:
The background sound in the armoury in this episode of Boardwalk Empire: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Yes - I also caught that.  For about 2 seconds it sounded exactly like the chant that starts the opening song of Red Alert 2.

After watching that scene, at first I also thought that Nucky knew that Sleater killed the Irish guy.  But now I think that Nucky may not have known anything.

Yes, but when he said that, I thought it was a strange thing for Brian to say, considering that that is exactly what prevented Dexter from killing Deb.  If Brian had put anyone else on that table, Dexter might very well have killed them and then gone off to join Brian as serial-killing brothers.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'll point out that there are lots of not-so-very religious people and even atheists who have a knowledge of the bible and religious imagery.

Then, by that definition, Keith, Jim et al played a pretty bad game so far - they went out of their way to disrespect Cochran.  They would have been perfectly justified to have voted him out several times, but it is a stupidly bad move to unnecessarily disrespect and anger any player - you never know when things might…

Is This the End of Zombie Shakespeare?

The funniest part of this episode had to be when Masuka's new intern said something like, "Is Dexter always that good?  He's a rock star."  And Masuka responded, "Hey, this is Miami Metro Homicide; we're all rock stars."
