My personal favorite exchange of the night:
"It was sudden?"
"Only the last few feet."

Because he's disingenuous… just like everyone else on the show?
Because he uses people to further his own agenda… just like everyone else on the show?
Um…
Because he's educated… unlike everyone else on the show? I guess that must be it. Charlatan with a dictionary.

Sometimes I worry that Boardwalk Empire is just adopting the warped morals of the time, reveling in sexist, racist, abusive behavior of the period instead of trying to say anything about it. It can't be a coincidence that Margaret, relatively speaking the most modern woman on the show, has only had five minutes of

@avclub-1534b76d325a8f591b52d302e7181331:disqus Morrison took that to a completely different level. I can't think of anyone else who's done fourth wall breaking to such shocking/heartbreaking effect (outside of comics).

I'm reading Bryne's She-Hulk run, too, and I'm loving the hell out of it. Everyone lauds Deadpool for breaking the fourth wall, but Jen Walters got there first and took it much, much further.

Did you really like that episode, or did you just like seeing Brie Larson?

They were saving that reveal for Fall Sweeps.

So no mention of Neal making out with his ventriloquist figure? Or the weird look it gives right before Neal lowers it onto the bed?

He's on BBC 2, we're not talking about him.

Well that changes everything. (EDIT: For the better, just to be clear.)

He bought it off a man in a blue box. (I know, I know, this is such a stock answer and the Freaks and Geeks comments section deserves better than this. The truth is I'm kind of dumb at comments, okay? Always have been. Back in the sixth grade they divided us up into three tracks: Track 1, Track 2, and Track 3…)

Kim's reaction to Daniel showing up at her door seemed way, way off. I kept waiting for her to bust out laughing because he looked absolutely ridiculous. Instead it almost looks like she's on the verge of tears, which… where did that come from?

If you listen carefully you can hear audio samples of Morty's act in the classic Ventriloquist rap jam "Bring tha Mothafucking Puppets."

I think I posted my reply before you made your edit (or you made your edit while I was still reading the original post and only saw the edit after refreshing the page).

I like to imagine there's a long-lost alternate ending to this episode where, in Neal's bedroom, Morty starts talking and suggesting that Neal kill the people who are making his life hard.

He sends Neal to Mr. Rosso's office.

Keep your stupid comments section in your pocket.

I was kind of surprised that line didn't show up when Genevieve was talking about Gillian's inability to escape her past.

I was so happy about the return of Bork.

At least they went for broke explaining the palm trees in Eagleton; that the elevation just happened to put that tiny area in a subtropical climate. Just hilariously absurd.
