I can't think of anyone else in SNL's history who's followed Kristin Wiig's path: Dominate the show with one-note, unfunny mugging, then become an even bigger star in the movies by doing the opposite.

How will they break this to Abed?

21 Jump Street, the first Charlie's Angels, arguably the first Brady Bunch. And then 50,000 soulless failures.

Maybe there's a "Return of the Secaucus 7" parody coming.

I don't think we've seen a classic Don Draper pitch since the Carousel back in season 1. (Glo-Coat is implied, but happened between seasons.) Ginsberg's skill, coupled with Don's old-man cough, made this episode look like the changing of the guard.

If Don really had murdered someone, it'd either be the final scene or early enough in the episode for Joan to be his Winston Wolf.

Don't worry about Betty. In the series finale she'll finally channel her aggression in a healthy way when she joins a recreational lacrosse league.

If there's another ill-considered grown-up Tom Sawyer movie, it'd better at least have Ned Beatty:

So Malik is a snitch. Now that Tessa has a scooter, will she be tearfully pounding the steering wheel next week?

The Artie Lange/Phil LaMarr era of Mad TV was on par with the early Will Ferrell years of SNL. Then Mad TV had a cast turnover and took a nose dive, while SNL kept building to that early 2000s run.

It was the network equivalent of Louie CK's revenge fantasy from his last special. Which is to say, pretty fantastic.

I thought I was burned out on Timberlake. But when it's tied to Bon Iver-bashing? Fantastic.

A Don/Joan romance would have to be done really well to justify ruining the great "game recognize game" moment between them at the end of "A Guy Walks Into An Advertising Agency …"

I wouldn't go so far as to call Aly & Aj terrible, but "Potential Breakup Song" is several orders of magnitude better than anything else they've put out. Same goes for Demi Lovato and "La La Land."

Top four: Dr. Dre, Wu-Tang, De La Soul and Dr. Octagon.

No Lauryn Hill? One classic album plus a mess of an Unplugged.

"busted glasses, bloody hand, and gore-dripped Wallabees"

That's what you get for questioning a "Breaking Bad" grade.
