One of my favorite metajokes of the movie is that not only is there a mature, well-adjusted and committed couple in a summer camp comedy, they're also gay and everyone's cool with it. It's definitely inspired by the casual/punchline homophobia of 80's sex comedies. It's not a coincidence that the most graphic,

Do you have hothouse corn?

"Looks like you wrapped up the case. You are a..true detective."

Thank you. That's helpful.

I have face blindness so I have a hard time remembering characters played by actors I don't know. It also doesn't help that episodes are spaced a week apart. But really, there's so much exposition that gets mumbled once and then not brought up again that makes it easy to miss key moments.

Blake is the guy Frank strangled and then shot? This is a perfect example of my continued confusion with this show. Even though they have a long dialog where Blake explains himself and a bunch of the plot, I couldn't follow it at all. I don't know who Stan is or where the 15 grand came from or why he was giving it

I think all the information just drains away from my memory banks during the week between episodes. I know there's key stuff that's been explained but I just don't remember (e.g. who was in that photo at Ani's dad's retreat). But there's also stuff that's just confusing. For example, I know that Colin Farrell's

We're almost at the end of the season and I still have no idea what the fuck is going on. This whole episode was over my head. I don't remember where any diamonds first came from. I have no idea who Dixon or half the other names they exposited over a table are. I have no idea who the guy Frank killed is. Have we

No mention of Liz Banks in the lists so far? I swear she must be a robot sent from the future.

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't recognize Rich Sommer until episode 6.

I haven't seen Illeana Douglas in a while but she looks very different. Did she have work done or contract Lyme disease or something?

Jane. She's discussed in the write up and I still got it wrong. I don't know who this Joy person is. As one mystery is closed another opens.

I don't know who this Jane person is and at this point I'm afraid to ask.

She's from the South. They come up with all sorts of arbitrary nicknames down there.

I can't wait to see what Kate Micucci and the rest of the State do in their inevitable cameos.

At least Stannis got what was coming to him.

I thought for sure as soon as Cersei got through the keep doors she would immediately order the kingsguard to kill all the sparrows. I guess she has to get her queening wig first.

Binge watched Orange is the New Black S3. I liked it a lot.

My most vivid memory of this show is the first episode of the 2nd season. In the first 10 minutes or so, they went about ending and resetting each and every plot thread and character arc that the entire first season spent setting up. Every character outside of the main cast was written off the show, some of them

Ha! My roommate and I did the exact same thing.
