Actually I even liked Willard.  She captured the essence of crazy drunk chicks pretty damn well.

Anyone who's ever babysat a small child, much less parented one, can vouch for the fact that they remain entertained by the same thing that have long become boring or annoying to you.

The same paper that broke the story of Howard Stern replacing Jimmy Fallon on Late Night?  There's an unimpeachable source for ya.

Don't you mean the beeeeeeeeeest?

Yeah, it's not how you expect him to laugh, but somehow it's just right.

So, when Jean-Ralphio said that his sister is a nympho.  Anyone else a little creeped out by how sure he was about that?  Just wonderin'.

Her porn star frm the Moet & Chandon sketch is her most goofy, out-there character, so I'm glad they brought it back at least once.

Credit where credit is due.  John Krasinski can do it.

Is it a proven thing that Don Pardo was back last night?  Because it sounded to me like Unclle Darrell was still doing the announcements.

Winters really brings his A game.  It's fairly easy to see the story with the actors reversed: tough method actor Klugman as the legendary ace, comedic fat boy Winters as the second rater with the chip on his shoulder.  But Fats comes off as cool, preternaturally so.

How many times has Castro watched this just to get a good laugh.  Clemente is supposed to be a newly installed leader when the episode starts.  According to the priest the executions have gone on for a week, and then he shoots himself right after.  So his whole regime lasts maybe ten days.

You can get the most entertainment value out of this episode by imagining how many times they had to stop shooting because someone's beard fell off.

"The Passersby" seems to take place in the land scarred by Sherman's march to the sea, which is about as close to Hiroshima-level destruction as you can get with 19th century technology.  Both Lavinia's hate and Ebbie's weariness with bloodshed become much more understandable in that context.

"The Mice" is an underrated episode.  Even if it weren't about the first TV story with a black American heroine, the monster in that episode is memorably skin-crawly.

One of the more (intentionally?) amusing aspects of the episode is how fast Frank tries to walk back his racist asshole rants once the crisis is over.  Marty's last name is apparently "Weiss" but the actor looks made up to be Mexican or Latino of some stripe.  Whichever his ethnicity, Frank sure has opinions about it…

The twist in "The Shelter"- namely that bombs weren't really dropping - may be obvious to us, but I don't think it would have been to the audiences of the time.  The Cuban Missile Crisis was only about a year away, and that would be the high water mark for people thinking that this would be their last moment on…

True that the joke was misunderstood, and I get it, and seen in the right light it is kind of funny.  But the joke was always going to be taken out of context, because the 140 character limit is intrinsically hostile to context, and because it was inevitably going to ripple out to those outside of the "people in the…

Once again, friends don't let friends tweet drunk.

I can sort of appreciate that.  The mystery of "The Arrival" does take you pretty far, if not to the end.

"The Silence" in S2 doesn't have any fantasy/sci-fi trappings.  "The Shelter" at least raises the nuclear war question.
