Eh. It was pretty good, not spectacular. David Tennant and Olivia Colman are both so very funny, that it feels almost a waste putting them together in something so tragic.

Don't we meet Drew Thompson today?? I'm so ready to know Drew Thompson (I swear to God, if my guess is wrong at this point, I'll…well, probably do nothing, but be disappointed in my powers of prediction).

What a perfect time of year to start Pushing Daisies. It's just late enough in winter that I need something chipper and happy and bright (f*ck you, incoming snowstorm, f*ck you so much). Plus, as the show goes on it'll be great inspiration for both spring dresses and pie baking. Can't wait!

I rewatched it recently when I saw it was available to stream on Amazon Prime. Maybe that has something to do with it?

I hope it's NOT! 22 episodes a year. Sometime around season 3 things start to lag and the producers decide to capitalize on that sexual tension that's been building between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Then season 4 is about her trying to choose between Jesus and Judas. But in the season finale, she sees Judas kiss Jesus…

The theories I've read about this posit that travel across the Atlantic could have happened both ways (and very possibly did throughout history, especially during some of the mini ice ages), but that the Atlantic currents/wind (specifically the jet stream) and the advancements in ship building would have made an…

Who in Hollywood does Luke Greenfield have elicit photos of and/or sell drugs to? Because that's the only explanation for why they let him keep making movies.

Which begs the question: What festivals are best for those interested in up-and-comers? SXSW, Coachella, and Bonnaroo are all criticized for being too big or whatever.

Because you'd have to take the L train

I genuinely don't understand how a person who is literate could come to that conclusion.

Don't worry, they don't. Something like Calvin and Hobbes doesn't disappear because it ends. Kids today eat up those books just like you and I did 20 years ago. There's hope for the future yet.

This whole thread has basically doubled my reading list. Thanks, everyone! I wish we talked about Vikings in fiction and non-fiction more often!

There was a sort of wave of it in kids/middle grade fiction in the 50s and 60s. Most of it that I've read isn't great, but if you're coming to the book because you want to read about braids and ships and the burning of Scottish monasteries, it's got what you need.

How weird is it that Joanna Newsom and Andy Samberg are engaged?

This episode proved that the strength of the show is not its central "romance"—actually, that might be weighing it down. Oregon, Vod, JP and Howard steal the show every single time.

The Oompa Loompas would never accept him as one of them, no matter how orange he got.

I would bet money that Asher Roth loves College. He probably owns at least one of those scorpion jackets, too.

Thank you, Nick Kroll, for putting my two biggest comedy crushes, the super-attractive Rob Huebel and John Mulaney, in the same half hour as the biggest crush of my teenage years, Seth Cohen. A+

I respect you all. Daniel Craig is the right answer, though Sean Connery was the right answer pretty much up until Skyfall for me.

@avclub-d1dd537846e529e1101d7c23e170fe4b:disqus  I know, it's a tough choice. Let's change things up, but still stick with the spy theme: Which James Bond?
