I like Meat Loaf. 

While I would most certainly blow off a paper and delay graduation in order to attend a last-minute top-secret Tom Waits concert, somehow I don't quite buy Jeff Winger in the Tom Waits fan base.  I mean, I guess I can kinda see it since he wants to be cool and all, but I just can't truly believe it in my heart of…

Layana and Michelle's simultaneous gut-punched "ohhhs" coupled with Layana's averting her eyes in complete revulsion was one of my favourite PR moments.  I demand a .gif of that.

I was thinking the same. I imagine that if they give her a random "do or die" challenge like that, they really have to let her stay unless she does something truly horrible, like painting swastikas all over those pegged pants, or making a chiffon tent covered in roadside Indian souvenir stand fringe (oh, wait).  But I…

So kitten cheerleaders are not athletes?  Bold statement.

The best part of this episode was watching my husband's unadulterated glee every time another Infinite Jest allusion cropped up.

"Rien Poortvliet called, he wants you to pose for him."

Cymru uber alles! 

I read it as a French apology for thinking the Maginot Line would stop a blitzkrieg, a tactic which resulted in the US having to rescue France.

Also hated it.  It looked like the model's crotch had suctioned the front of it up.  And a freakish combination of tinfoil on top and weird multicoloured fawn camouflage spots on the bottom, combined with a soiled and saggy diaper ass.  So much terrible all over. 

I still do.  Even though he's now much too young for me, and a cartoon.  Regardless, I'd hit that.

"I Call Her The Tank" is also less likely to have its subject misinterpreted.

Michelle sounds overly snarky, but then I think about this one local poet that I hate.  He is relentlessly self-promoting, goes to every reading, has an elaborate website, has DVDs, has chapbooks, is always mentioned as part of the poetry "scene"—but he's terrible.  Legitimately godawful undergrad-poetry-101-"Ode to a…

Having been in high school at the same time as MSCL, I remember that everyone *did* have the exact same Jansport backpack. 

Frozen Embryos > Mystik Spiral.

What with the decade or so of time elapsed between last season and this, where is Andre?  I'm assuming they're not separated again because his family was there, but I totally don't remember what happened to him…

Just saw this episode and immediately came to AV Club to see if anyone else had commented on this.  My husband and I both felt like we were listening through his mother's hearing aid.

I got the impression that Dreary Little People Farm where Matthew is always strolling around talking about improvements was William's father's farm.  Or maybe they just have one rustic-looking barn on the property so they shoot everything around it.  So I also was guessing that the next logical plot step will be that…

Agree on Emmet Otter.  "Where The River Meets The Sea" is the one that kills me. 

I like movies and TV where nothing bad happens and everyone is happy all the time.  I walked out of "Babe, Pig In The City" because it was too dark.
