I don't think that was the point either. More like speechless in terms of, "What is the point of all this excessive B.S.? Do you know what's going on in the world?"

I thought the joke was clearly about Miss Uganda's being rendered speechless by the excess and pageantry around her, not about her being stupid and unable to speak English.

Ehhh, this review seems like the result of a cursory listen and a strict adherence to the "ladylike" talking point, which is B.S.  The suggestion that Case should rewrite the same record again and again and adhere to the exact same persona is annoying.  And the "maybe she should have intervened with the abusive…

Sloan's characterization, from the beginning, has been "insanely smart and capable economics expert who has poor interpersonal skills and an appealing goofiness about her."  Remember this exchange from Season 1?:

I love the DePalma version so much, I can't help but narrow my eyes and fold my arms when I see this trailer.  But damn if they didn't assemble some dynamite actors for the cast.  The coup de grace for me was seeing that Judy Greer is playing the Betty Buckley role:

I'M WEARING A LEAD BREASTPLATE!

Yeah, her version of 'Knock Loud' (especially the recording on her 'Live from Austin' album) is pretty much my favorite song of all time.  Sook-Yin Lee's lyrics are dynamite, but as sung by Neko, they destroy me.

I think there's some disagreement on this, so let's put it to a vote:  does she lose her legs to the whale, or to the crushing debris of the torn-apart stage?  The accident's filmed kind of vaguely, so you have to imagine what precisely happened, but my imagination will not allow me to conclude the whale bit her legs…

I'm delighted that EAT SLEEP DIE is getting so many positive notices.  I can't recall a character I've loved more in a film in years —  Nermina Lukač is such an atypical-looking actress, but I hope to God she shows up in more films down the road.

Any person who can't derive any sort of pleasure from CONGO is not a person I want to know.  A martini-drinking ape armed with only a sign-language-robot glove distracts the evil, diamond mine guardian apes long enough for Laura Linney to shred them apart with a motherfucking diamond laser gun!  Plus, Tim Curry eats a…

The fact that Roger's Rube Goldberg device was put into motion by Francine laughing at his impression of Grandma-on-helium from 'Parenthood' makes this episode a piece of art.  Brilliant.
