OK, maybe I'm just dim, but the bit with Vanessa talking about Murray being in love with "Mrs. Poole" confused the hell out of me. Like…she does know Madame Kali/Mrs. Poole/the Cut-Wife's sister/the main evil person after her are all the same person, right? Last week she seemed to. But this week she just seemed to

It is definitely incomplete, but the more I got into it the more I kind of understood that — applying an outsider's tone of "isn't this INSANE?!" would have felt really condescending and sort of taken away the brothers' slowing-developing agency, so it kind of had to skip some of the harder questions and present it in

I truly can't believe the shit they get away with on this show sometimes. I mean, I'm glad, because I love this show in all its freaky glory, but I feel like some of the imagery is just so depraved that S&P doesn't even know what to do with it and just kind of panic and then give up. (Didn't Robin Williams have a bit

Noooo, not Fig!! I mean, I know we're not supposed to like her, but my hatred for her was really OTT in past seasons; something about a woman using her position to knowingly screw over other women for shallow financial gain just really made my blood boil, and I loved seeing Caputo — who is far from perfect himself —

Well, The Affair will be back this fall, presumably…!

It matters because it goes completely against Superman's character as established in canon and as established in the movie itself. It's not that we're supposed to be devastated by the off-screen deaths of tons of pretend people, it's that it just simply does not make narrative sense. He wouldn't fly straight through a

I cannot believe I am about to type this sentence, but: was Jeff's approval of the term "nipple dippers"…actually a brilliant callback? Remember when Troy and Abed complained that Britta "ruins" cool guys by dating them and then revealing awkward details about them, like with Jeff "Nipple Play" Winger? I'm just saying.

That killed me, largely because it was clearly Danny as much as it was Abed.

PREACH. The Pacific was greatly underappreciated in general.

I remember she had a great reaction shot when someone (Matt Berry?) said "you could be twins!" or something, but yeah, not sure where it's going and am somewhat apprehensive.

"Stay and eat cake or go to hell!" is my new life motto.

I totally agree, but no upvote because you didn't phrase it as "what a week! What a lovely week!" in a topical sort of way.

No Batfleck jokes?! Really?? That made me sad. And I was sort of expecting slightly more racial snark with Kumail and Danny Pudi in the wake of that whole Kumail/Kunal Nayyar confusion ridiculousness, as Joel mentioned on Twitter that Danny has experienced the same thing in the past. But that Custodial Arts Museum

I totally thought that was an ad-lib; Joel's little laugh seemed totally spontaneous. Too cute.

Seriously? "You think you can just steal from us and walk away??" "Yeah…" is probably my favorite exchange in that whole movie.

Upvote for the accent comment. Now I'm just thinking of Joey Tribbiani. "The South will rise again, mon!"

I found it so hilarious and delightful when demon!Vanessa basically outed him in front of everyone and asked graphic questions about his night with Dorian, and (a) he didn't remotely deny it and (b) everyone else's reaction was just basically "…well, so, anyway, about this demon problem." Priorities, people!

I think her tactfully-muttered "he didn't go to college" in response to Donnie's comment about "frosh week" was my fave part.

I would like Pupok to go away forever, please. We don't really need him narratively — I mean, we already know Helena is unhinged but highly capable and inventive; we don't need to be told that via dialogue — and he just frankly makes my skin crawl, despite the somewhat adorable voice. Sorry, but I am an open

The most unbelievable part of that plotline to me is that there's a super-usable and highly popular queer ladies dating app out there. Trust me, there isn't. :\
