Last night was excellent, but this whole season has been pretty good.

Nikki and Paulo being the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of the Island and then being buried alive was really spectacular.

I would submit that The Office deserves a mention here; a dip in quality for seasons six and seven and then being utterly lost in the weeds for season 8. And now, the best season since 4, in my opinion.

Yeah, remember how thrilled she was when she found out he stole cars for a living?

Yeah, he was like, "I didn't sign on for this", when he absolutely did, three years ago. She made it clear from the start the kids always came first and he made it clear he didn't care.

The Ian and Mickey scene didn't seem odd to me. Obviously, Mickey is going to need some time. A lot of time. This is sadly going to reverse all the progress they've made this season.

Between this and Walking Dead, it's been a great night for TV.

I don't think they were looking for evidence of foul play.

Yeah, it does. Rick's from Georgia. They've never left the state, on the show yet, anyway.

Holy shit, wouldn't that be awesome if we learn that was her job?

Now that you mention it, it is a bit odd that the best two episodes of the series featured him. Coincidence?

The last shot of them taking his supplies gave me goosebumps.

Yep yep yep. Joining the chorus to say this was the best episode since the pilot. When this season started off so exciting and action-filled, I was happy, but also secretly worried that once the action petered out, we would still be left with these empty hollow, uninteresting characters. Watching them do nothing but

The Japanese sketches are white characters pretending to be Asians.

They used old-school "queeny" voices from the 70's because they were portraying old-school queens from the 70's.

Okay, I'll grant you I've never been to NYC. But to the rest of the country, that joke doesn't play at all. I've never had rude service at a Starbucks.

It's actually never really happened.  Oscar was a red shirt, part of a group of characters who were meant to serve no other function but to die, and they're all dead now.. T-Dog died a couple episodes after Oscar was introduced, anyway. And the introduction of Tyrese and his group had nothing to do with Oscar's death.

Really, worse than Beiber? Worse than January Jones?

I hate that Starbucks ad. It doesn't even ring true. Where are there Starbucks employees like that?

It was obvious to you that a brand new skit about a funeral would be a continuation of a taped skit five minutes earlier? How, you're like magic or something.
