Also, THRILLHO

Some days I'd be ready to call Marge Be Not Proud my favorite episode of the show. If nothing else, it's easily got some of the best visuals (I don't exactly know the word I want—I just mean images that are at once gorgeous and hilarious) the show ever did. I'm thinking in particular of Bart's terrible snowman next to…

He's got street smarts.

The tag to "O.S.I. I Love You" was enough to justify all the show's breast-based gags and then some.

It definitely read as drugs to me. But either way, it is sort of astounding that Oliver interpreted it as BMO "tak[ing] a dump."

I disagree. I think starting the next episode with Deb saving Dexter would only have highlighted the artificiality of creating a cliffhanger without any actual narrative tension. It would make Deb's decision seem totally arbitrary, as though in the unseen moments between episodes, she inexplicably decided that she…

Sophia telling Mendez "You've got the wrong girl" is probably my pick for the most powerful moment of the season—it's a commitment to living with integrity, no matter how impossible or self-destructive that decision seems to be. I don't want to pile too much on Weeds, which I liked very much at times, but it was a…

Besides Hugo, I always found "Hell Toupée" (in which Snake's hair takes over Homer's mind) from IX pretty scary. In the scene where Homer is boarding up the room, he says to Lisa (I think), "Now no one can get in"—and then adds, very sinisterly, "or out." That freaked me out when I was younger.

Is it a problem that I have next to no idea who half the characters mentioned in this article are?

This is beyond insane. The review spends 1 of 13 paragraphs discussing the flashbacks.

"It’s here where the pilot struggles most, laboring to lay the groundwork
for Alex’s surprise appearance at the end of the episode. It’s a nice
punchline, a casual greeting that the pilot at least establishes is
anything but casual for Piper, but Schilling and Prepon struggle to
escape the fact it’s a relationship…

George Michael may never have met Lucille 2, but in "Pier Pressure," he discusses her with Buster and clearly knows who she is (he thought that Buster was her nurse).

According to this fact sheet (page 2), to say that 5% of men (in the U.S., presumably) have raped someone is a pretty conservative estimate. It takes 14 men in the audience to get the odds that at least one of them has raped someone to rise above 50%.

I hope that H.E.L.P.eR. keeps his Crimerobot paint for further appearances.

Was it supposed to be surprising that Deb killed El Sapo? I assumed we were at least meant to think it was a possibility.

Do you realize that the page you linked to is from a blog that denies the Holocaust? The only article I can find not related to Holocaust denial or "white nationalism" is this spirited defense of Two and a Half Men - http://furtherglory.wordpre…

Hugh Darcy is indeed magnificent in the role, but for me, Marx Mittlesburg is easily the show's greatest asset.

Now tragedy—that's funny.
