You lead off with arguably the worst Beatles song and then to add insult to injury you throw in Blink-182.

Yeah, exactly. If they play the ol' "Love can cure anything, even serious mental health issues!" card I'll be incredibly let down. If they did something more like seasons 3 & 4 of Six Feet Under, I think that would be much more interesting.

Oh Dark Souls. I got to that boss battle with the guy with two wolves and gave up. I get the insane difficulty is supposed to be part of the appeal, but somewhere around the 37th time he killed me things stopped being fun.

I didn't catch that. I do want a prequel about the elderly sniper women though.

I somehow missed that episode the first time I watched the series and discovered it while Gingrich's presidential campaign was in swing and he was rambling about moon colonies. Such a wonderful bit of synergy.

Midterms week approacheth, so not much. Finished LOVE earlier this week. Liked it up until around episode 8 or so when it became wildly formulaic, cliched and predictable. Especially hated the closing scene, although that may change depending on how the aftermath plays out.

I actually don't mind Rust's performance aside from his cringe-inducing laugh. He's like the anti-Offerman. Also, this episode made clear that like Hannibal Burress, without glasses something about him just appears….off.

One of the things I really liked about this show is it did a pretty great job of eschewing tropes and being fairly unpredictable, and then somewhere around episode 7 or 8 it does a 180 and becomes pretty formulaic and leans on cliched plots hard.

He was clearly wearing it when he left the set too.That drove me nuts.

And at least Five Guys has those insanely good fries to make the trip somewhat worthwhile.

People who abstain from gluten based on some half-baked diet fad and not a true health issue deserve to be drowned in a vat of Horsey Sauce.

As a vegetarian I'm trying to figure out who thinks this is a good idea. It's more patronizing than if they just didn't do anything. Is it really that difficult to follow Burger King's lead and just sell overpriced veggie burgers to those of us desperate enough to buy them?

Oh if you think they're bad now, just wait. I actually liked the first 3/4 or so of the season a lot, but the last couple episodes had me hating them both.

The first time I heard the joke about the "Kubrickian" hallway is probably in the top five hardest times I've ever laughed at a film - such a weird, specific joke and so perfectly delivered. I get why people don't like Brand but he absolutely destroys in both those movies.

Perhaps that's the case (I don't know much beyond there being some research that suggests that teaching people to moderate their drinking is much more effective than abstinence), but from what I remember the episode wasn't exactly interested in nuance so much as "Look at us, taking on this sacred cow! We're so brave!"

Sometimes I think the writers just throw a dart at a board to decide who they're going to take on. They made an anti-AA episode, for chrissake.

So is this a New Girl-esque situation where the ads make a pretty good show seem just absolutely intolerable?

The song "The Switch" by Rival Schools, however….pretty good.
