And Dandy showing up at the suburbs *seconds* after Jimmy left?? Like I know they didn't want to waste any screen time, but Jimmy could have left out the back door, or they could have done a "TV time" type of cut to imply that at least a few minutes had passed. The girl who left Jimmy out didn't even have time to get

I genuinely could not tell if the show was trying to say "it's a meaningless, drunken fling, and that's terrible because he's cheating on Maggie!" (which is bizarre in its own right because like… isn't she conspiring to kill all of his compatriots?) or if it was "fat girl = bottom of the barrel, sexwise" which is just

Jimmy really needs to spend the next couple eps in jail getting Kit Walkered — his arc is boring, repetitive and, with the way he was treating Ima in the opening, totally gross. Not even Evan Peters naked could change my mind.

Nah just a guess

My guess right now is that she'll be critically lauded — maybe even win an award — but it will ruin her personal life, and I'm curious to see what the audience reaction is to her. I could totally believe Paulie G's dumb fans calling her a bitch online and sanctifying the Mitch character a la Anna Gunn in Breaking Bad.

This season is turning into Kudrow's meta-commentary on starring in "The Comeback," so I'm looking forward to Valerie's reaction to HBO's unceremonious cancellation of "Seeing Red"

See, I always preferred creating soaps to making sitcoms, which is why I've played at least 1000 hours of Sims 3. The open world may made all of my melodramatic dreams (like having a girl kicked out on the streets by her mother seduce her own stepfather to claim her rightful inheritance) come true.

What I can't wrap my mind around is how… difficult (terrible) I've heard it is to work with and for Michael Patrick King, and what that means about Kudrow. Please don't let Lisa Kudrow be the sort of person who doesn't care if assistants get coffee thrown at their head or whatever!

I think it looks like exactly the type of show Showtime or Starz or even Amazon would pick up in hopes that it was HBO-quality. But I doubt HBO would want one of their shows constantly advertising another network (even to mock them).

Well you just saved me a good 15-20 minutes clumsily trying to articulate the same ideas. It's very frustrating to see her received as "Every and Any Girl!" when she really is only "That Girl." Which is exactly what she should continue to be… but the characterization of her as this broadly applicable figure bugs.

The worst part of "Not Cool" wasn't the sexism/racism/shit-eating, but that in one scene the lead girl tells Shane's character "Ugh, stop acting like you don't know you're incredibly good-looking." Holy miscasting, Batman. Shane Dawson is many things, but he is not the All-American, super hot quarterback the movie

In my mind, Clarissa is like Nickelodeon's version of Friends. It took something that was perceived to be risky at the time (casting six unknowns for a premise-less show/centering a show around a teen girl), proved that it could be a huge, mainstream hit, and then was copied and ripped off so many times since that's

He wrote a self insert erotica character who wears *polyester fucking pants?*

As a kid I identified strongly with put-upon suburban dad characters (Charles Grodin was totally right about Beethoven, dammit!!) so the first half of "Hook" was my favorite movie (plus the last ten minutes with Dustin Hoffman's utterly bizarre death scene).

That might be my favorite joke ever

Maybe it's because I am a lapsed musical theater kid but I have been at many parties from high school through college and beyond where people have spontaneously broken into song… most often something from Disney, no less…

I think people might be thrown off because they're all so good-looking and therefore we kind of assume they're popular. But they remind me very much of the weird stage crew kids I went to high school with — fucking with stuff for no good reason, drinking and smoking weed but not to excess, and always manage to get

I enjoyed that too, it felt like a natural extension of what the GR like to do — fuck with people and tell them that nothing they care about matters.

It was disappointing after last week's episode really managed to marry the biblical metaphor to the crushing reality of Eccleston's character. This week felt kind of plodding and obvious by comparison. But the haters come for this show HARD regardless.

I feel like Ann Dowd's stock is quickly rising from "poor man's Margo Martindale" to "more than adequate Margo Martindale substitute" which is to say I don't think it's possible to make the GR more interesting unless they actually do something
