@avclub-3ef00cbe8a65af09beddab1c55e103fd:disqus Ships that pass in the night.

How is it obnoxious? I love these things. The ones where he's clearly in a bad mood are still great, but others, like that one he did on Conan where he was completely stoned and did the finger-rubbing gesture as to why he would do another Indiana Jones movie was nothing short of brilliant.

Both. But come on, how can anyone not love how much he just doesn't give a fuck anymore? He carries this attitude that's like, "hey, if you're fucking stupid enough to spend your hard-earned money to see Indiana Jones 4, I'll absolutely take my cut and blow it all on weed."

I don't think Jimmy being offed by a drug kingpin is going to happen - my bet is there's an injured person on that boat that Jimmy has to save 'or else.' I seem to recall the guy making a big deal of Jimmy going back to med school to be a surgeon.

As someone who loathes the Nick/Jess pairup, I know my opinion is already in the minority. Just came to say this unfunny, poorly edited, clunky mess of an episode is the first nail in the coffin for me and 'New Girl.' The Nick/Jess thing would be fine if I laughed - I didn't laugh once during this entire thing.

Or even better, do it 1970s/1980s BBC style, and have all the characters die/commit mass suicide so there's no risk of them ever coming back, unless it's in a completely different time or place.

Or Olivia Munn, or whoever that actress was on this episode. I haven't seen hook-ups this perversely related to reality since John Cusack in High Fidelity, and that character owned his own business!

I'm just gonna say it - fuck this stupid out of nowhere shipping. I hate it. I hate the tired old bullshit in movies and TV that posit men and women are only friends as a precursor to sex or an intimate relationship. It is the opposite of fresh and new. This series was about ten times funnier before they asked the…

The obsession with a showrunner somehow being the 'soul' of a show is fucking ridiculous. Look at this list of 'Golden Era' Simpsons showrunners:

@avclub-884c4beddd8c98bb3b016bdfcc1bcdf8:disqus maybe your definition of quality control differs from mine - as evidence, I direct you to the entirety of season 3 and its various ridiculous retcons.

"You haven't seen the Wire? Let me talk about how great it is for the next hour."

This line 'one being that Harmon drove it to the edge of suicide, only for a network, of all things, to drive it back (sic)' is a perfect encapsulation of what happened and why these people moaning and whining about the 'loss' of that oaf utterly baffle me. Edit 'bag' to 'back' so I can have this comment engraved in a…

That fucking drunk mechanic that stole my airbag?! Yes, he is just like Jesus.

If Weiner is a headache to AMC, he's the kind of headache you get from drinking too much champagne after you've won the lottery. The kind of headache that makes money hand-over-fist and makes your network practically synonymous with prestige television.

@avclub-2586d0717b58d4f4383144ca1341d079:disqus thank you for being a person with a brain.

'Soul' is an utterly meaningless interpretation that has nothing to do with what you are actually being presented with - your mindset is the problem, not the show.

Dan Harmon never liked a premise he couldn't utterly run into the ground.

@avclub-fd11043c50c15f9e700a52b3f00136f8:disqus (sigh) you people are intent on shitting all over what will probably be a perfectly respectable sitcom for the sake of your drunk obese deposed God King, aren't you?

@avclub-7aee1b75b527e215f31e20a5c4e7a768:disqus You just described literally all of season 3. That's why you don't run your show drunk, Harmon.
