I liked the foretelling of Daniel's experiment with the punk aesthetic in one of my favorite setup-punchline jokes of the series, from I'm With The Band:

I like it.  The juxtaposition is part of it, but remember, Lindsey is the protagonist.  The song is about how she feels; it also happens to apply to the other characters who got star turns this week, with Daniel returning to what and he always loved (and always loved him) and Neal realizing (in my interpretation) that…

This was a rough episode for Neal.  Even worse than The Garage Door, because at least he got to be crushed in private in that episode.

Paul Feig should write more funk songs. 

Me too. 

Props to Pilot for identifying "consensual birdwatching" as the line of the night.  Most parodies of Girl Scouts just devolve into being a cookie mafia, but Thundergirls did a pretty good job of an actual parody, I think. 

In the episode where Lydia was introduced, Mike pretty much spoke to us straight from the writer's room and said as much. 

If you didn't want to watch bad people do bad things, then Breaking Bad would be an awful viewing experience.  One of the most common criticisms of the show is that it was too misanthropic; everyone on screen, from the drug lords to the police to the wives, were portrayed as choosing to do evil more often than…

Yeah, but at least she didn't get shot, because shooting women on violent TV shows is politically incorrect or something. 

Ah, that's what you meant by "wrote more above."

It actually struck me that they were at a different table.  Wasn't the table in this episode in the middle of the floor, but every other time, they were up against the windows? 

I think you said that backward; if he wanted JUSTICE he would have just tipped the cops.

No, Jesse put himself in that situation because he didn't just get Walt to confess on the wire with Hank and Gomez, and instead gave into his lust for revenge, which is how Hank and Gomez died in the desert.

Since this will be one of our last chances to discuss it, can we talk about what it means for people to root for Jesse to be OK, or to "win," such as he did?  I mean this in both simplistic terms (ie., he seemed like he felt bad after he killed people, or strangling the only person who kept him alive was justified,…

Latino isn't a race, it's an ethnicity.  You meant to say ethnicityist. 

I can only assume Todd fell victim to some kind of KCK - KCMO confusion with that one.  He has to be aware that KC has MLB and NFL teams, right?  Heck, every NHL franchise that wants a new arena has threatened to move to KC, too. 

But CBS can always rejigger things and be OK on Mondays.  NBC has tried to keep Thursdays as a feather in its cap for almost 20 years.  It's almost like automakers dumping for market share: they can move something back to Mondays and do OK, but if they can kill off the faint memories of Must See TV, that's a win.

You misspelled "Seth Meyers."  And don't worry, he's failing up and out of SNL this year. 

Let's not go crazy here.  Perhaps "knock off young Alison Brie" or something to that effect.

You shouldn't have sandbagged your analysis of the character issues in the first paragraph of your review.  You could also add to that criticism the problem that Leslie has been turned into a demigod, and the meaningful resolution to all of her plots is that everyone tells her how great she is.  Enthusiastic but…
