I'm with you. I don't know when Aya hit on that bit, but she is so damned cute, and if she did that to me, I too would turn to goo.

I always love how these characters would never, ever cop to doing anything socially inappropriate. The way they were berating her in unison was hilarious. I have to watch again to try to catch what the two of them were saying.

Not sure if anyone brought it up, but the scene of Jimmy and Gretchen evaluating the children on the school playground was maybe one of the funniest things they did all season.

It would have been nice to have more of the therapist, definitely. Although it went out on a great note, with her turning the tables on Gretchen's habit of sandbagging her publicly.

I was waiting for a cruise ship episode. Maybe next season. I can only imagine the trouble they'd get in on one of those. Something inappropriate with Cookie Pig, at least.

I felt that was a supremely hilarious meta line.

Yeah, I was ready for the rug pull. To end on proposal would've been way too pat for this show.

While it was fun watching Paul run roughshod over Lindsay over the divorce ("this isn't a number, it's a drawing of a cat") it was nice that Lindsay got at least one shot in.

I don't believe Paul, or anyone here, argued that what Lindsay did was illegal. The sticky question is whether she should have informed Paul about her decision before the fact. Obviously there is nothing that compels her to do that, but it is a reasonable question.

The face Paul made when he said, "You better lawyer up, bitch," was stellar. McLeod really shines in the "Paul gets a backbone" moments.

Never cared for the Hazel character on 30 Rock, it added just another crazy character that the she show didn't really need, Schaal's right in that she was there to stir things up in season 6, but the character itself didn't really exist beyond that function.

I'd put Dalton's RR in my top 5. I think it's one of those RR's that have become somewhat legendary (along with Bronson Pinchot, Terri Garr, etc.)

I figured that's what you were driving at. I mean they tried really hard to get the Superman vibe going. Even to the point of adding The Movie to the title.

Well, it was produced by the people who did the Superman films, so having a Luthor stand-in is not surprising.

Don't worry, Disney's going to crank out so many pointless Star Wars films the term will barely have any meaning anymore by the time we pass away. Strangely, I am not that fired up for Rogue One. Are all future stand alone movies just going to be based on random pieces of dialogue from the original trilogy?

The Day After was much more sensationalistic. Testament and Threads were gut punches that shook your soul.

No, the episode he was in had a riff on Harry and the Hendersons

I loved him on 30 Rock, he was born to play himself lost in a building.

It's even more painful when junket interviewers like that try to mix it up with really silly questions, like they think are being charming or something.

It might eventually turn into a generational thing, but to everyone I know it's simply enough to say Raiders. To stretch that out to nine words seems like an unbelievable waste of time, as well as being an affront to all that is just and right with the world.
