Lou is an exquisite rendition of a type of man that used to be very common in corporate and government jobs. And as gym teachers. They're still very common among college football and basketball coaching positions. They're like a specific type of sociopath that is driven to bully and be odious and unpleasant to

Wait, flip in a good way or a bad way?  Cuz my first continental breakfast was a lesson in huge disappointment.  "Continental" sounded so fancy, but turns out all it meant was plain, dry-assed rolls and bad coffee.

I saw a purple Volkswagen bug today and could only think how desperately the props people would have wanted to have it for Marie instead of her blue one.

I wish I could like this comment fifty more times.

Yeah, god that ending didn't just not work, it made me feel bad for everyone involved.  I imagined an alternate version where Jimmy Pesto gets hit with a huge tax bill for his winnings and the Belchers realize they totally dodged a bullet and get the satisfaction of watching Pesto have to eat it.

WAR WHORES!

I really would love to get full some versions of some of the songs.  Especially a full, uninterrupted version of Electric Love.

Callback—Saul's had that thing in his drawer of burners since like season 3.

Goddamn—Lydia can get a signal on her Blackberry from inside a school bus buried twenty feet underground in the middle of the desert?  Who's her carrier?

"how did a neurotic, uptight corporate employee turn into the kind of person who kills a gang while also wearing a mini skirt and pretty blue coat?"

Never any explanation how the damned thing generated the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity from an ampule of plutonium.  How do you spontaneously create that much electricity, without the use of steam turbines and a nuclear reactor?  Wouldn't Doc have been better off figuring out how to construct and charge some kind of

Hoverboards totally exist.  They were a real thing when the movie came out and were set to be released, but some kid died on one and because of the resulting lawsuit Mattel was never able to sell them.

I recall the most telling thing about what must have happened while Claire was in Azusa was Russell sitting on Olivier's sofa, pillow covering his lap, awkwardly refusing to stand up, seemingly because he was hiding an erection.

Agreed 100%.  The pilot had some delightful ideas and great potential, but felt insufficiently thought out.  I especially liked the suggestion that under her desire to create an appearance of normalcy, Marilyn was actually potentially the most powerful of the Munster clan, with Grandpa knowing better than to fuck with

Heh.  As an architect and landscape designer I've used that tactic myself countless times.  Not as a bait and switch to force clients to build something they never agreed to, mind you.  But clients have a way of losing sight of the original vision and of getting all wrapped up in big ideas that have nothing to do with

Purple?
A big, purple killer? Purple Opera?

I didn't see his performance of The Invisible Made Visible on the This American Life live show until shortly after his death.  That completely broke me up.

The art is actually what drew me into this show in the first place.  I stumbled across the episode "Shadowmen 9," where Phantom Limb's house is a ridiculously detailed version of Frank Lloyd Wright's Storer house.  Then I ran across "The Buddy System," where I saw the Venture compound perfectly rendered as a

Galt's Gulch would make for a FANTASTIC EPISODE!  :-)
