The only way to win is not to watch.

I was confused on that too — seemed like Tesar basically insisted on being EC. But later no one challenged his version of the story, which he told three times: during the judges' visit, at judges' table, and again in the stew room. Maybe something was left out in the edit? A head-scratcher for sure.

Oh yeah, how about that
Teti
Bringing that playoff intensity
All the other guys looking at him, going
Man
Makes it look easy
He's gonna put the AV Club on his shoulders Carry them all the way
to Super Bowl

He should have discreetly covered it with a penalty flag, then called a ref modesty huddle. Oh to be a fly on the wall in ref crew meetings this week as they brainstorm policy for handling future dildo tossing.

Untildo we think of a better one, anyway.

You can see the moment when Caldwell moves on from the win and starts to focus on next week's opponent.

Okay all I know is Darlene is right about Arizona.

Side note: Philip was like a one-man Indy pit crew the way he swapped out that recorder. He's got that down to a *science*.

"But then, they usually have to talk to Paige the way they tell her to talk to Pastor Tim so she doesn't get angry."

Peg Schierholz (Head of Hair): "You don’t realize that through the first season I went through 51 wigs. Why would you?"

For that matter, even Pastor Tim seems like he's really starting to regret getting tangled up with the Jennings. "Paige, you're here to talk about your feelings about your parents. Again. Great."

My takeaway from that cold open of "Inflatable" was that, yes, Jimmy took some of that missing money from the till, but a good portion of it was also given away by the father. Not as simple on any front as Howard's pat account of what happened.

It definitely has a Bag End sort of vibe.

"No shooting — we don't want to draw all the walkers to one spot!"

Goddammit, you know who really would have known what to do with this show? Irwin Allen, RIP.

Spencer upgraded his Social Game software this season.

Speaking of questionable editorial decisions, I get a chuckle at how dumb those black-and-white flashbacks from early in the season look in the "previously on" clip.

You mean like he parachuted onto the fence-post?

1. Yes, that whole setup had the same kind of "fuck it" quality. Let's not even mention the gasoline truck hidden at the scene of the forest fire.

They really raised the bar on incomprehensible dialogue in this ep. I wonder what the people who have to translate this thing into other languages make of it.
