Marceline's genealogy is one of this show's most frustrating unresolved mysteries to me.

I hate myself for not remembering a funny line from a show I watched over a week ago, but the line of the night was Rick pimping his Pirates of the Pancreas.

I think your last paragraph nails it. There was enough potential in this episode to fill five episodes. Remember how much pathos this show got out of french fries? Marceline just got a call from her long-lost father figure, and they kind of glide past that in 30 seconds.

I don't watch Girls, so my only familiarity with Lena Dunham is the strong opinions the internet has of her. She's a surprisingly serviceable voice actress!

Oddly enough, I thought this episode was more in the neighborhood of a B-. All the emotional beats weren't given much room to breathe. Simon becoming lucid for the first time in a millennium, his reunion with Marcy or Betty, the acknowledgement of how he had been acting for so long, and how he would resume acting if…

Thank you for reminding me of my favorite Onion article.

You know Archer has a running gag of Ray Gilette being crippled every season? I want Homeland to give Dana an asshole boyfriend every year and have him be blown up by terrorists.

"Honey, give our baby an acceptable name."

Every year, my masonic society of Adventure Time aficionados becomes more of a reality…

I will forgive all this show's shortcomings if it is revealed that Carrie is pregnant in an attempt to clone Nick Brody.

To be fair, Brody possibly being the father could add more layers to how Carrie feels (and wants to feel) about his guilt or innocence.

Quinn's reading of "So what?" for taking the fall for two murders almost rivals his reading of "Fuck me." when learning of Saul and Carrie's plan.

I love the implication that Chris Brody is also a Brody, dammit, but he hasn't thrown half the meltdowns and hissy fits his mother and sister have.

And even then, only because I want to see more of Erik Todd Dellums' character. No character on this show has arrested me so immediately as that poised slum doctor.

I'm really, really not trying to pick on you, but I kind of want to hear your thought process on that. Was the terrorism and counter-terrorism not enough of a hook that a 16-year old's love life acted as the tiebreaker?

"…uck…ooo….eakfast…"

I think many people who say "crazy-hot" use a dash but mean a comma.

That is the most concise and elegant critique of that play I've ever heard, and I am more than willing to pay you royalties if you'll let me use it.

Murder! :-)
Police…;-(

I think TV Tropes calls it Buffy Speak. It's a useful term. and I get that it mirrors the way actual people speak a lot better than those rehearsed Sorkin rants.
