Which critical standards should they be held to? The reviewer's gripes were with the character motivation and plot logic. Those seem like fair things to ask from a children's show.

Oh god the Swedish boxer!

Frank: "I don't want you to think of me as some lazy fixer/hitman stereotype. Now come meet every sibling Will Hunting made up to flirt with Minnie Driver."

You could make a case that while Frank is the only cold-blooded killer on the show (the guy who does it professionally and not for personal or self-defense reasons), he's also the only one who really owns his bad actions.

I don't want you to think I'm stalking you by up-voting pretty much all of your comments. You're a good egg Wafflicious, and you're fighting the good fight. Take all the up-votes.

I stopped watching Adventure Time regularly a while ago, because minor character digressions were less interesting to me than the Ooo mythology or Marceline's emotional beats. This promises both. I'm on board!

I think that undersells how sex was used to develop the theme and explore the characters. Yes, there were hot people fucking, and that television practically watches itself, but it's disingenuous to call it a publicity stunt when there was a narrative point to all of it.

This show finally gave us reason to dislike Oliver: his "committed relationship" prevented a Connor/Micahela/hot-pansexual-couple four-way, and I'll need time to get over that. (I'm not sure if that was grammatically correct, but Strunk & White don't specify the proper way to delineate a four-way. Or how to spell…

New theory: Annalise's sexuality is whoever can help her cover up murders. She's alibi-sexual.

"You made a mashup of things that happen a lot in pop culture, internet!"

"I would very much like to see you explain exactly how my opinion that there is too much gayness in the show is "ignorant", without comparing it to your own opinion…"

Jaime Camil (Rogelio) also appeared in an earlier episode, and he was fantastic. I hate that Whose Line 2.0 feels the need to shoehorn in guest actors/reality stars, but when it works, it really works.

I like that Amethyst took special offense to it, as if "clod" were more insulting to gems literally farmed out of the earth. A gem equivalent to "mudblood", if you will.

Is it? I like the idea of her being a foil to Pearl. She's a stuffy bureaucrat who happened to swear allegiance to the wrong side. After some mistreatment at the hands of some Homeworld gems, and I'm sure she could be on Team Steven.

Agreed. I remember a previous comment about how Healy is awful, but in a nuanced, realistic way. His flashbacks seem anything but, and I think that kind of detracts from the portrayal of said awfulness.

If Cindy had only converted because of blackmail, the scene would have felt shallow. I love that the rabbi was actually moved by her earnestness. His face sold that "Ask me again" line.

Woah, woah, woah….

Yoga Jones kind of explained how she ended up in Litchfield to Watson (shot someone approaching her weed farm, turned out to be a kid).

I think the biggest difference between Piper and almost every other inmate is that they committed crimes because they had few options, whereas Piper commits crimes because she is mostly bored or for other petty reasons.

If the show had framed her decision as "I can't let them walk all over me", it might have gone over better. But the way Piper acted, it came off more as "what would Walter White do"?
