The fact that you call it that tells me you're not ready.

I like Heavy Traffic a lot, probably because out of all the Bakshi I've seen it feels the most genuine. It's kind of an interesting contrast to Hey Good Lookin' where, in my opinion, Bakshi is trying way too hard to be angry and cynical.

While I agree, I don't think the redesign hurts this episode too much. Thankfully Harley wasn't redesigned too drastically, and she retains all of the expressiveness and cuteness that's essential for the emotional punch to work.

There's a lot of great stories in that collection. "Mad Love" is obviously the best, but that Two Face story is pretty great, too.

This episode is excellent all around, but that shot of Harley falling through the window and to the ground below is especially genius. You can almost feel the bottom drop out of Harley's world.

"Pack up the wagons and shoot the dogs!"

I have a feeling that dragon is going to fry the slaver alive when he's handed over. It'll be fun.

*Rocks out to that closing credits song*

Todd's never claimed to be King of Anything, much less identifying singers in acting roles.

The wording in that "You don't see me as X?" almost kind of sort of made me think they were going for some kind of Breakfast Club homage, or at least something to complement the Breakfast Club reference in the pilot.

It felt (pun?) like a second-rate version of the stop-motion Chrismtas special.

Now I'm thinking about "Modern Warfare" when the Glee club were singing "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," and now I'm thinking about that being transplanted into Glee's school shooting episode. Sure it's an easy joke, and an even easier connection, but I still find it hilarious.

He said he liked her, he just didn't know who she was.

I'm a little surprised at how accurate that feels.

@avclub-d8dda79582b3de3e7ee1f3f92af93ea5:disqus It's not so much the nudity that I find implausible so much as the groping. It's that extra touch (no pun intended) that makes me think it's something that couldn't exist in the real world. It's one thing to be naked, it's another to make physical contact. 
Granted, maybe…

Alas, no. I'm sure there are puritanical attitudes and sexual harassment laws that would prevent such a thing from existing outside the world of Darren Nicholas' personal Wonderland.

What?

I thought the looping discussion about MacBeth's nudity between the interns that snuck it was hilarious.

I just realized, is that a kind of call-back to the canned sheep bleating from the first season?

Well that was just a great episode of television.
