I get the impression they don't do that anymore, after cancelling Deadwood made them look bad. Now they're very unlikely to end a show before it's done, unless there are dead horses involved.

Now we know the real reason Knauf wanted Stahl in the show.

I don't think that's incorrect. It's what The AV Club does.

Mia Wasikowska?

Wait, actually, he shouldn't be using a comma at all. If you break it apart it says:

Whenever I see a sentence that goes something like "this, that and the other thing" I at first think "this" is entirely separate from "that and the other thing". Then I have to reread the list to be sure, and sometimes I'm not quite sure they're all equally separated. Maybe this is just me, though.

Stupid Kennet, he doesn't even know what a diphthong is!

I really like this show but I'm quite bothered by the lack of toothpaste… at least, in that one scene between Congressman Pothead and the secretary into whom he puts his penis. Their dialogue kept mentioning that his mouth was full of toothpaste but we can see quite plainly that there is no fucking toothpaste. You'd…

Stupid second question. Now I'm all depressed.

If you were, one of the members would probably die before they played there.

One advantage of Luck being in written form is that you can understand what the characters are saying.

I was amazed that this got a D here. I thought everything was much improved over previous episodes; there was none of the stinky writing that had annoyed me before. Of course, that's aside from the ending, which was handled poorly. However, if Matthew had died in a non-sudden way, the other characters would have to…

Ooh, then he can look and sound like a blond Richard Harrow.

Maybe. I don't know. Can you repeat the question?

When I attempted to read Ulysses I was amazed to discover that people were using the phrase "last but not least" in 1918.

I was pretty sure Isis died and they got a new puppy. The dog doesn't look full grown in this episode.

Good golly, I'm trying to take Ms. Saraiya seriously but she doesn't make it easy.

Matthew was middle class until 1912. I wouldn't call that the very definition of privilege.

I want to see Crispin Glover's trilogy of films starring handicapped people, but he makes it pretty difficult. You have to go to one of his screenings to see them. I almost went to one when he came to Portland but I couldn't make it.

Actually, this was the inspiration for the show: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…
