Am I too late for jokes about how Andrea ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no mo'?

The sheer amount of infidelity on this show is kind of odd, or at least the assumption that everyone is unhappy with whomever they're with. I might have some wrong, but didn't all these happen?

Don't worry.  When they let the guy go at the end of the lane, he won't know his way back, because they blind-folded him on the way to the farm.

The difference between Rick and Shane: Shane comes back one person down. Rick comes back one person extra.

Ah, I guess I didn't see it like The Obamas = The Cosbys.  I thought they were just going for a more creative, silly way to send up Michelle Obama's healthy-eating campaign than having her say things into the camera.  (But if Obama's eating a hoagie in a Cosby sketch, how did they not give a nod to that awful "Cosby

This episode felt fresh from all the original material.  The Obama Show was a unique, situational angle. And still no Digital Short being thrown at the wall, crushed under its own obligation to reinvent abstract comedy and go viral.

It amuses me to think that the writers probably hotly debated the scummiest words for this dirtball aka Fat Turtle (but he thinks people are calling him "Phat Turtle" and he's cool with that).

Yeah, I was probably a little off and could've picked a better Tarantino scene.  But when I read the reference here, I was sincerely proud of myself — despite most evidence indicating I should have better things to be proud of.

So I guess, despite what happened to Andrea's sister, everyone is acting like they don't know Beth is turning into a zombie?

I think that was ridiculing Morgan, saying he's not smart or a good journalist but hopefully viewers are fooled by the accent.

Yeah, I was of the same mind on this one.  They went from must-see segments to overly used weirdness for the sake of weirdness.  I imagine Lorne wanted them milked barren like popular characters, but they're seeing diminishing returns.  The worst Digi is still better than my best sketch, and I'm not complaining about

There's been a lot more live-sketch Samberg and noticeably fewer Digital Shorts.

"One question that arises in the very first episode: Isn’t this show going to run out of characters to kill off rather quickly? I assume reinforcements will be coming from somewhere."
Well, there's six episodes left and, what, eight characters?  Nine if you count Emmet?  Theoretically, they could all die off and

Ben & Jerry. And Tom & Jerry.  Anyone?

Ah, splitting them into seasons would make sense.  And thanks, all, for side-stepping spoilers.  I'll definitely be on here more when I finish.  I'm just afraid of being that guy in line when Homer walks out of "The Empire Strikes Back."

So this has probably been addressed somewhere, but I'm just getting through Book 3:  What happens when, at one book per season, the HBO series catches up with Martin's half-decade process of writing the new book?

Call me the Jersey Shore Jon Huntsman, but I think there might be another angle to discuss in this show, especially regarding Vinny's depression.

Thanks.  I just thought it could reintroduce actual consequence and tension to the show.

I'd wish for a mass lay-off (hear me out).  It would give the show a chance to confront a realistic, emotional story arc while having some serious character development and room for new characters.
