Sorry for the late response. My complaint with Cameron isn't that she is childish and a bad manager; my complaint is that there's nothing to balance that out. Last year, her childishness was balanced skillfully with her genius, but-like I said-this year she's in a creative slump, which means that her genius isn't…

Mackenzie Davis' performance in this episode was next-level. I have trouble with her character, but she's solid.

I agree. Cameron's characterization has been one of the places the show has declined this season. I think it has to do with the fact that her character lacks balance now. Last year, she was prone to throw tantrums and fits as well, but the show always balanced it by showing her more creative and brilliant side. The…

I feel like Gordon's been useless for a while now, but this episode redeemed his character a lot. My heart broke for him in every one of his scenes.

"So why complain everytime he has a scene?"

For the most part, the females were eye candy. But there were a few exceptions. Rod's wife did get to give a nice speech to The Rock on how he should improve his life. And Charles' wife came off as both supportive and stern with regards to her husband, which is more interesting than having her character just be mean…

This looks promising, but needs work. The Rock's got enough charisma to convince you that he was once a big deal in this universe, and I generally enjoyed the (light) satire of football players.

I felt like Joe was the worst thing about last season, and the stripped down version of himself that we've seen this season is where the show has improved the most (although it's still at its best when dealing with Donna).

Does anyone actually watch this show? Yes.
Is it good? IMO, not really. It always has interesting ideas of where to go with characters and plots, but rarely does it actually get to where it wants to be effectively.
Marketing: I haven't really seen the marketing, but that seems off-base with what the show is about.

Andy: So listen, I forgot to tell you the plan for this Saturday. You. Me. Bar. Beers. Buzzzed. Wings. Shots. Drunnk. Waitresses Hot. Football. Cornell-Hostra. SLAUGHTER. Then, quick nap at my place, and we hit the TIZZown.

Wow. I'm also watching this right now and was reading the comments. Some quick responses (hey I want to talk to somebody).
1. I'm with you that Gordon is becoming a less interesting character, but for a different reason. I'm fine with him being more incompetent, but I dislike watching him become an actual bad…

Whoever compared it to SFU was sort of right, from what I saw. It's about a group of privileged kids trying to cope with their unsatisfied lives, with the only new and unique thing being Tambor's character. I really liked Tambor's characters and thought that the kids on the show were ok (some were interesting despite…

Her snub illustrates how subtle performances are often overlooked by awards shows. Her performance is either just slightly below or equal to Rhys' performance, but Russell never gets attention because she's always playing the more subdued role of the two, having to bottle everything up inside. Rhys gets to have…

IDK about it compared to Saul. Overall, it's a show that basically cares little about narrative coherence. Sometimes, that disinterest in narrative leads to fun, exciting, over-the-top scenes because of how ridiculous everything feels. Other times, that disinterest leads to dull, lifeless scenes because there hasn't…

I can't speak to all of these villains, but I always hated the idea that Rooney was somehow misunderstood or "just doing his job." It always felt like a cheap and ridiculous stance that writers who disliked that film tried to use to justify their dislike.

The big question is if there will be a pregnant.

Actually, this really is the perfect time to rewatch the show. Sepinwall plans to recap it through the Summer over at HitFix.

Hunter shows up at the end to announce that she's in med school, which is kind of Carmela's dream for Meadow.

Well, yeah. By the end of the show, Meadow can be seen in the same light as Carmela, but I don't think it's fair to view her that way in the beginning, when she's still a teenager and just realizing how depraved her father truly is.

This comment nailed it. My favorite thing about rewatching this show is realizing just how many of the therapy scenes that I found to be legitimate breakthroughs in the show's original run are just scenes of Tony BSing both himself and Mefli.
