It took a while to write up! Thank you for taking the time to read it, I appreciate that.

Every episode definitely ties in and feeds into the following ones. It just wasn't apparent to me until the end which I believe is what Zach is talking about in regard to missing the forest for the trees. I think the reason for

I've actually written up a few thoughts on Mad Men's sixth season and the series as a whole so this is probably a fitting time to post it:

I absolutely love the idea of this but I actually get the impression that Tambor is phoning it in there, which seems rather uncharacteristic of him.

I'd say Boston Legal fits that to a T.

Todd - complains that all single cams lately have a "sameness" about them, complains that a single cam is different.

I don't know about in previous episodes but in this case Timeline 1 was actually the evil timeline, hence Abed's necklace.

Pretty much this. The whole thing could've been excusable if it were actually funny but there were very few laughs. And I think the same can be said about evoking emotion, I didn't really feel much this episode. I laughed at the Dean yelling about how that cake better not have been dropped and then was unfazed for the

If someone says that something is better than something else that doesn't mean that the thing that it's better than sucks, just that comparatively it's "worse." For example, something great being better than something good.

And that's part of the reason why I thought it was so predictable. Which isn't to say that realistic is bad or that I don't like the idea of this (because I do!), just the way that they handled it.

The fucking narrative is weak?

Personally I didn't think the reveal was unexpected though. They subverted an obvious trope, sure, but they subverted it with an obvious twist.

I agree entirely, actually. I pegged that it was Diane right from the start. There had to be some sort of twist and there was the fact that it was Ron's cabin.

I wouldn't call it new so I don't know if it was "stolen". (I don't watch The Daily Show though so I don't know specifically what you're referring to.) When that Veep review came out I was pretty surprised at the number of people who had never heard that term before. It would've made for a better laugh though but it

I feel the same way and I actually love Mike. But the character moments lose something when I'm all too often thinking "why actually is he still being kept around?"

So far, spot on.

So far, spot on.

What, is he funny or something?

Started off interestingly and a bit different but very quickly I couldn't shake the feeling that, despite the utter predictability of it, they had no idea where they were going with this one. I don't know if that entirely makes sense, so maybe it's just that they didn't know what they wanted to do with it and this is

Tongue Tied is brilliant.

It would be great if they did Chicago Hope. GREAT, I SAY.
