That was hilarious, though.

I laughed out loud when I saw Kyle banging his head against the edge of the tub. I'm honestly sure sure if this was the show's intention or not.

That's what I figured… still makes it weird for weekly viewings (not to mention when those episodes enter syndication).

Especially since being a Judge is part of Marshall's lifelong dream, and Lily's work for the Captain turned out to be a kind of happy accident.

Minor nitpick, but Lily's job doesn't have anything to do with her being an artist. She's a sort of… art talent scout, I guess?

I don't know what you're talking about, I think that could be an egg-celen-

One of my biggest complaints of this season is how the writers absolutely insist on ending every episode with a cliffhanger moment, because frankly they don't work. They're supposed to be these shocking moments that raise the question of what's going to happen next, but they feel more like awkward commercial breaks…

His reaction when Diane told him Alicia was leaving… that hurt silence was the best.

You know what was brilliant about that promo (besides content, pacing, music choice and dialogue excerpts)? They spent so long promoting this episode, playing the same moment of Will sweeping clean Alicia's desk, that they never really showed us anything else. Then they spring an entire season's worth of teases in one…

The episode is called "Mystery Solvers Club State Finals," and it is so, so much fun.

Fair enough, though I didn't realize we were including television in the conversation. Children's television filled up a lot of my time as a kid.

Have you seen the newest Scooby Doo incarnation? Mystery Incorporated? They have a whole episode about those knockoff "teen sleuths + talking animal/whatever" shows and it's brilliant.

I know! It's really, really not very good and yet I own the first two seasons on DVD (before they started introducing Scooby's cousins).

If there's one thing an adaptation of a Jay Ward cartoon doesn't need, it's genuine emotion and a serious plot. Two things! If there's two things an adaptation of a Jay Ward cartoon don't need, it's genuine emotion, a serious plot, and a real moral lesson. Three things!…

"One, that guy's wearing a dress."
"It's not a dress, it's a robe."
"Riiiiight."

You're forgetting that Cartoon Network aired the show all the time before they started getting heavily into original programming, thus endearing an entire generation to classic Looney Tunes and half-assed television animation from the 50s and 60s.

Not to mention a healthy disdain for traditional story structure.

Knowing Ryan Murphy it's entirely possible he'll go the obvious route. Plus, killing off Emma Roberts three episodes in would work as a Psycho tribute of sorts.

I think this could go one of three ways:
1). Madison is the new Supreme and the Powers That Be aren't going to let a little thing like death stand in the way of what is rightfully hers.
2). Turns out the Supreme thing is a lot like being The Slayer and when Madison died it activates the next in line.
3). Diana Ross…
