Subway. Eat fresh. Eat terrifyingly, disgustingly, gruesomely fresh.

Should we tell @avclub-60dd44fc5944d2c8eb5bc7b7b9a3a70d:disqus about Harrison Ford?

But that kind of repeated dialog was part of the show. It wasn't necessarily funny, but it definitely added a strange sense of interconnectedness. Whether it's meaningful or just fan service is up to the viewer, I guess.

Arrested Development has such a weird rhythm, and so many of the jokes and moments are downplayed, that it's hard to come to a real opinion after the first viewing. When seasons 1-3 were airing originally, I remember being often underwhelmed, only to grow to like the episodes more later. This new batch of episodes is…

Really? I thought the message of the finale was "The people around you, who make you miserable and hold you back, are the best you can do, so you might as well make them your surrogate family."

Eeeexactly.

@Monkey_pants:disqus There was one episode where he had never heard of Moammar Gaddafi. Was that the Kumail episode?

Especially when I've read the book recently. I never think, "I wish I could see this exact same story, that I now know really well, acted out in front of me, but kind of off." I read it, I already got it. If I really loved it, maybe I'll read it again after a long break.

This sounds right to me. There's a lot about the books that is inherently uncinematic - a focus on internal thoughts, small moments, daily struggles, etc. This focus serves to deflate the pomp of the ruling class. It also deflate the reader's previous notion about fantasy worlds.

Another great scoop by the AV Club!

Podcasts also seem to go through peaks and valleys. After a few months, most of them hit their stride, but then after a year or two, they sometimes settle into a rut.

Garlin seems like a terrible interviewer at first, but something about his stream of gibberish seems to steer people into interesting areas. Somehow, his show has been consistently good, which is particularly impressive, since most shows seem to take a few dozen episodes to find their feet.

I guess Gallagher's hobo rantings aren't particularly surprising anymore, but this had 1) racist conspiracy theories (something about short vs. tall Mexican immigrants, and what that says about the gene pool… I don't fucking know) and 2) a live audience.

Amazing doesn't begin to cover it. Gallagher tried to test out the racist water to see if it was safe, and Serafinowicz called him on it immediately. It was glorious. And Gallagher is such a weird, defensive, barely functional person. He can't interact with people. He really sounds unwell.

I don't know, Paul is a kick-ass bass player and a hell of a singer.

It's Garry Shandling's Show. Can't top that.

I know that people always say that Faulkner was slumming when went to Hollywood, but he wrote two basically perfect movies, but he adapted To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep.

The little jig is etched into my mind forever.
