The way Besser says "asshole" in Atlantis-speak was so amazing. I love that sketch.

I sometimes think the podcast lives and dies by the audience. If the crowd is with Greg, it becomes an easy, relaxed time and his imagination shoots off into ten million directions at once, it seems. If the crowd is hostile, or just quiet, unsure what to think of him or whatever, he gets a lot more preachy and it can

I really wish I could've seen their Clarity 10th anniversary tour, but sadly 10 gigs meant that they were all in nowhere close to me.

Well, the first wave was the first wave. Each generation seems to have their own wave of punkrock, in its varied incarnations and new subgenres, and then every generation declares "punk is dead" when the next wave is coming along and they don't understand why all the kids are into it.

Two of my closest friends worship him. I started out indifferent, now I dislike him a lot because I just don't get it and they can't stop fussing about him. Music+comedy is hard to pull off well at the best of times but his stuff just isn't funny to me.

I know. I didn't mind the music (been actually listening to the band on Spotify after hearing the episode for the first time) and the scenes were all pretty damn great. Lapkus is queen.

It's especially important because it's such a sweeping trend. You name a country, you find a party that spouts the same rhetoric and ideals, with little variation between them. And they're all getting more popular, starting from the fringe and moving to the mainstream. It's scary. In some places, like Greece and

I kind of caught up with Elementary (still have 3 episodes of S2 to watch) and discovered I still love the show, even though it's not as tight as it was last season. I cannot stand Mycroft, but I take it I'm not the only fan who feels that way. I'll continue catching up as the show contains my favorite fictional

This feud can't end well..

Wouldn't Wendy just be like "screw you" at this point? I don't remember what her relationship with Peter was the last we saw her.

Alicia's in a weird headspace post-Will, it's clear she's not as into the firm as Cary is (it's his passion after all that brought on the idea in the first place). She should've said, "I don't want this anymore", but I guess that's a more difficult conversation to have because it requires honesty.

Bless Clark. I love that tiny scene because it reminded us that whenever Other Cary is around, he's the worst.

Despite some awkward episodes, this was without a doubt among the best seasons this show has had. The more risks they took, the more it seemed to reward the show and its characters. There are still some flaws, like perpetual lack of Cary or slight lack of direction when it comes to Kalinda (hoping they fix both next

I feel like I enjoy fantasy casting American versions of these shows, but with the knowledge it probably just wouldn't work at all in that context, even with brilliant people involved.

QI in the US would be a very different thing but it might work, with the right combination. It requires casting that makes the whole into the American version of what the British show is - a long-suffering teacher sharing anecdotes with a bunch of rowdy children who make wisecracks and occasionally poke fun at the

I haven't watched this in a while but I still think back to that time one of Thomas Lennon's jokes bombed so hard it actually became the funniest thing ever.

Absolutely love My Mad Fat Diary. It's incredibly perceptive about being a teenage girl, and particularly about being a fat girl. Such a well-written series, though about as heart-breaking as it can be hilarious.

Fluke only in the sense that we happened to send something awesome that year, and it happened to genuinely be appreciated. Not fluke as in "undeserved victory".

Yeah, I love Japanese rasslin' but if you're worried about head injuries in sports (and fake sports), it becomes hard to watch at times.

Finland always sends something ridiculous un-Eurovision-y, and then we're always dead bottom last. Lordi was such an amazing fluke.
