You know, It's Always Sunny did something mighty similar a few seasons back…

Who knew watching two people exchange genuinely mean insults could be so heartwarming?

What an amazing season of TV. The level of talent on display for this show is crazy: it's so lovingly written, beautifully shot, and impressively performed. For a show with so few recognizable actors, just about every one blew me away with the subtlety and depth of their performances—even the dog! Michael Cyril

I feel similarly about Shades. He's intelligent, honest, and logical, which is really rare for fictional villains (especially "comic book" villains). He knows it's a mistake to hit the barber shop when Chico is there, he outright tells Cottonmouth that Diamondback will take over Harlem if the former doesn't take care

God, that comments section was so wonderful. I think my most-upvoted comment on here is still just my drunken ramblings about how awful the finale was.

I'd watch the shit out of a show where Jeff Garlin just walks around in his underwear all the time. Then again, I'm really into bears/chubby guys, and I've had a huge crush on Garlin ever since I saw him in Daddy Day Care, so there's that. I can't imagine there's much demand for that Garlin Dick outside of my own

You and me both. "TV for Airports" or something.

I hadn't seen this sketch since it first aired, but for some reason, I thought Forte pronounced it "Puh-tuh-tuh chyip" for the whole sketch. That pronunciation stuck with me for years, to the point where I'll still say "puhtuhtuh chyip" in casual conversation, so I'm very sad to discover that that's not how it was

No, Bucky Barnes is J. Walter Weatherman. Dude loses his arm in like 3 different movies!

I like IPAs, but hate how they've dominated the craft beer market in dick-measuring contests about how bitter or hoppy they are. Just make a beer that tastes good, god damn it.

Not sure why Mitchell would be so horrified that he vaguely alluded to sex with his husband in front of his family. It's not like he revealed any of his fetishes or anything.

I mean, Jaime also pushed a ten-year-old boy out of a window with the intention of killing him, plus he raped his sister and stuff. He's a complicated character and he does tend to be noble most of the time, but let's not forget that he's also done some terrible things. He was an outright asshole in the first season.

What's the over/under on HBO's CEO of Dong giving us some of that Baldwin D?

I usually like the home movies at the end, except when they involve Murray. He always comes across as a truly angry, mean person. I know I'm basing that on, like, 2 seconds of video, but still. Something about Jeff Garlin's portrayal of him is a lot warmer than he comes across in the home movies.

I'm really happy about this. Kurt Braunohler is just one of those comics who seems to genuinely delight in the mundane. Like, he finds humor in things you ordinarily wouldn't even think about. I love comics that can make me laugh at something that I didn't think could even be funny, and Braunohler is exactly that.

This episode made it really clear that a lot of the storylines this season were actually just dumb ways of moving around characters so they could end up together by the end of the show.

I actually found myself wondering if the recasts are meant to communicate dream logic. Considering this season opened with "it was all a dream," it's not too hard to imagine that this season takes place in some sort of dream state. I mean, in the orange backpack episode, the logic of that orange backpack makes no

And then they just give her a bench. That's it. A major character who's been there since episode 1, figures out Dexter is a serial killer, gets shot and killed by another major character, and all that happens is they put a bench in a park.

It seems like the writers of True Blood care way more about their tertiary characters than anyone in the audience does. I like Terry and Holly, but I don't care enough about them to become invested in some weird-ass proposal storyline that happens, like, a day after Holly was sobbing uncontrollably because of the

I just discovered this show this morning and I've now seen every episode (it's my day off). Just so, so great. It's incredibly rare for me to laugh at a TV show when I'm by myself, and even then, it's usually just a quiet chuckle. But this show had me laughing loudly for extended periods of time while I watched it
