This show refuses to not subvert any standard sitcom relationship trope, and I love it. Ron and Diane engaged and married in one episode? April and Andy have a surprise wedding after dating for like 6 episodes yet it fits perfectly for their characters? And now, completely jumping over your main character's pregnancy,…

Cones of Dunshire was definitely the funniest episode of the season for me. Ben's subplot was pretty much perfect, and they found a way to make Jamm at least somewhat human and funny in that episode with his weird "me and Leslie are best friends" thing.

So you read a conversation between commenters on the show but you don't read the enlightening conversation Todd and Genevieve do every week? I know it's easier to get invested in a conversation when you can contribute, and the user comments on this show are generally fantastic, but I love reading their crosstalk every…

Wow, that's a really interesting point. It's amazing that this show adds so many layers to everything it does. These comment boards always point out things that make me appreciate this show even more.

I think I must have misheard the tape. I thought Gaad had said he was told to hire an ugly old lady, then the others were essentially saying that he did and then went off describing how with Martha hey would need to be deep into scotch and have a bag over her head. Yours makes way more sense though.

Yeah, was it necessary for him to really change it at all? They are not afraid of making the FBI seem like a bunch of horrible douchebags every once and a while.

Seriously, not only was it beyond relatable, because we've all done things as children where we thought our parents would never be able to look at us the same again, but it also resonated with everything that Philip and Elizabeth had gone through in that episode. That break down will stick with me for a while.

That scene where they are hunting the girl was beyond sick. I certainly hated Joffrey more because he is written as such a despicable character and he held so much power but you knew he was just a weakling deep down, but Ramsey Snow both disgusts and frightens me.

Yeah, the direction made it seem like they could be prime suspects, but I don't understand why they would kill Joffrey. I mean, Margery isn't going to be Queen anymore, and this might even affect Cersei and Loras's marriage.

It was mentioned in the first season that all of the Baratheons had been born with dark hair, so I took that to mean that all of Cersei's kids were fathered by Jaime.

Yeah I was thinking that, but I wasn't sure if he had been sent away somewhere like Myrcella was. I didn't even realize he was the one sitting next to Tyrion in this episode.

I had heard that something was going to go down this episode, and my friends who read the book had referred to a purple wedding here or there, but I never, never would have guessed it was Joffrey dying. This changes so many things, I mean what does this mean for Tyrion and Sansa, who is the next King going to be, and…

Seriously. It may lack the intense, disturbing, symbolic imagery of Hannibal, but this show is shot wonderfully. I think this season has really picked up the game in visuals and direction. They know how to wring the maximum amount of tension out of any moment just by focusing the camera in the right place. The…

So when it first showed the tree in the middle of the parking lot, I imagined Hannibal getting in a giant construction machine in the middle of the night, tearing the tree out of the ground, and placing it in the middle of the parking lot, all while wearing the infamous plastic suit. The idea Hannibal operating…

For the week after we watched that episode, my roommate was convinced there was a fourth body in there too. Trying to theorize who the it could have been was a lot of fun until we realized he just miscounted.

Yeah, that speech hit me. It made me wonder why I ever get behind these characters. But then that last scene with Elizabeth on the couch, seeing how vulnerable he can be, and I was back on their side. They may do monstrous things, but they're so undeniably human and relatable, I can't help but root for them.

I was drunk when I watched the first episode of this season…suffice to say I had to rewatch it the next morning to get anything other than "OH MY GOD THAT WHOLE FAMILY JUST GOT KILLED!"

I guess I wasn't rooting for them, so much as I was able to empathize with the situation. As Anton was rattling off in the car, I wanted Philip so badly to be able to help him out, but I knew that he couldn't, and that made the scene hit me harder, because I felt both bad for Anton and a weird pang for the shit Philip…

This episode was filled with so many great scenes. I do think that one in the car with Philip was the standout though. The look on Philip's face, while muted, showed that Anton's words were affecting him. But this is his job, his duty, and Anton rattling off about how the Soviet Union had driven the humanity out of…

The way they talked to each other was great. They both knew they were each going to go through the motions of what had to be done, and they didn't begrudge each other for the actions they were taking. It made them connect, yet stay distant, in an interesting way.
