Guessing Drew is having a semester that features a lot of Sartre, and they probably read No Exit too. But that might just be me giving the show too much credit for something that happened in my own college education.

I'm concurring with the consensus here: Jasmine was probably raised Episcopal.

What's weird to me about how the show treats Max is that it's apparently based directly on Katims' experiences with his own family member who's on the spectrum. I mean, I assume the drama is heightened for TV, but how much are they pushing things, really, especially as they've pretty consistently portrayed Max as…

I was pleased to be asked to be my niece's godfather, even though I'm not hugely religious. But I bought this plotline, because if anybody is going to be that into godparent status, it's Adam.

I asked about this on Twitter last night and was informed Mae Whitman and Miles Heizer live together in our reality. It's ostensibly just a friends thing, but YOU NEVER KNOW.

You can't really know, sorry. It's a combination of dozens of factors now, some of which are completely unknowable.

We don't always cover the top pick.

Nah, biweekly reviews were my idea because I wanted us to be covering something on Fridays in the summer. But I suspect it was so poorly read that it won't be covered for season four.

Breaking Bad is over.

I wrote the blurbs for the winners but not the losers.

I am hilariously dedicated to making the subheads on these pieces this season lyrics from Tallahassee.

I don't know what this is, but you should probably avoid it. http://www.hulu.com/bestinshow

I also think there's a difference between, say, hating black and white stuff in general and just not liking the washed-out state of many early TV prints. (I do not know offhand if The Rifleman suffers from this, but I have watched far too many grainy old TV shows to not sympathize with this point of view at least a…

We just recorded one today. Hoping to get it up tomorrow. Glad you like it!

I love the novel, too, and a lot of other Chandler, but I think of this as an enjoyable riff on his tropes, not as a direct adaptation. I think you can love both.

My super poncey college literature professor swore by them as the very best popular fiction there was.

I loved Eyes. I am going to One Season Wonders that sometime.
