So, shit-tunnels then?

I'm gonna miss this show. I think it was Joni Mitchell who once sang, "How the hell did Big Jim know to hide a jail key on his freaking dog?!"

I have no idea who my father is, but thanks for that.

You know … if they had just ended the show at the end of the 5th season, he wouldn't have to be so angry. I'm sorry, but when you take the money, you have to take the shit that goes with it.

Gravy Robber!

Wow! Even JFK?

Sorry but this looks like an ego-driven piece of shit. Thanks!

Apparently we at the AV Club hate convenient, moderately-priced food that tastes good.

Because, young black people don't watch Fox News, right? Is that where you're going with this?

I like to think Kasdan didn't actually co-write Jedi. I always have a picture of him in my head handcuffed to a typewriter while Lucas dry-clicks a revolver behind Kasdan's head, repeating the words, "Ewoks. Don't forget the Ewoks."

Wait. So the dome is the equivalent of a really big kidney stone?

Agreed. Unfortunately Garofalo, Poehler, Showalter, and Shannon have all aged in appearance considerably, but that's okay. I love them and I love this show. Very few things these days make me laugh so much I have to puke.

The chase scene was incredible - Meloni skipping the entire time had me laughing like mad almost as much as Showalter's Reagan beating his assistant and then swaggering away bad-assedly throwing jellybeans at his mouth (notice how none of them even makes it into his mouth)!

This episode is terrible. I'm getting sick of the Eva character - not only because the girl who plays her can't act, but because she brings nothing to the table plot-wise, and Barbie gets conveniently stupid around her. Big Jim and Julia toasting the end of the world was padding, and the non-linear time-stretching…

Two great Big Jim moments. The first one being that Big Jim just runs out the door at "base camp" or whatever that was. The guy with the gun doesn't even fire a couple of shots. As if Frank Whaley asks him, "Why didn't you shoot him?" and the guy with the gun says, "I didn't want to mess up that pretty door, jeez!"

It makes me wonder how this show could get nearly everything right, and then a show like "Under the Dome" can get everything wrong. The two shows are not dissimilar; same wacky sci-fi set-up, same consequences, same sense of paranoia and claustrophobia, but this show is so much better.

Kind of a mean-spirited retort, no? Also the title of your piece is not what he said.

Ugh, I can't even … well, I'll give it a shot. I don't have a problem with Duchovny. I hate this actor playing Manson. There's no sympathy, or even empathy in his words, his tone, his mannerisms. He comes off as a petulant little shit, not somebody you can sit down with and talk out your problems. Manson strikes…

Overall, a much better series this year than last. Strangely (for me) I enjoyed Allison's story more than anything else. I get tired of all the running and the violence and the wild, unexpected sex. I liked the "Weeds"-style machinations of Allison's home-grown business and then running for a political seat. Then…

I enjoyed both the book and the movie and I agree with most of the thoughts expressed in this piece. Nice write-up.
