One of my least-favorite flashbacks. It was a total bummer and kind of beat the "this guy's life really sucked!" thing into the ground.

It definitely is.

I really enjoy Season 6, but the Temple was just not a fun location. I'm in the rare camp that thinks the
SPOILER (duh)
flash-sideways stuff is a lot BETTER on rewatch, and I love the other on-island drama, but I'm totally not a fan of anything in that temple.
I think I mostly just hated that cliche Dogan (?)

I'm also rewatching LOST at the moment. He's unbelievable.
Locke is such a crucial character to the show, and I can't imagine anyone else pulling off the balance O'Quinn did. Especially in later seasons when his character got WAY more complicated…
It's an absolute shame he's not a bigger star.

It's never BEEN easy!

pretty much.

" “You know what? If you wanna have a full-on psychotic meltdown, why don’t you take it home to the chickens and the cows?”"
Are we sure that isn't great dialogue?

Just reading that made me spit up my coffee.

Dee is the funniest character on the show, IMO.
I fought watching this show for a long time, because seemingly *everyone* in my highschool watched it, especially douchey jocks, for some reason. When I finally got around to watching it, I was amazed. I haven't seen the past couple seasons, but I can only think of 1 or

" the main Seinfeld quartet makes the Sunny gang look positively cuddly in comparison"
Shouldn't this be the opposite?

Pretty bummed because I bought this thinking this was Bill Cosby Bukowski's book of Jello-ems.

I loved the Holmes burn. Their running gags about lizard brains, "do you ever trip out on [insert college dorm room weed-induced observation here]?" and Sean's outrage that "religion is actually the cause of all wars" are all based on his show.
The Holmes episode was awkward, but in a great way.

Yeah, it always strikes me, that transition from seasons 3 to 4. It's hard to say what it is, exactly, but there's a sense of dread, of inevitability, to prophetic doom. Maybe it's purely the story structure, which tells us our castaways have already made a horrible mistake, and the mystery becomes "how?"
But I think

Yeah Conan's monologues are really just an excuse for him to make fun of his writers.

Does this guy realize that Conan does not write his own monologues?

This is very, very late, but screw it:
On your point re: why Ben brought Locke to the cabin, I definitely think it's the first one.
Ben has never met Jacob, knew there was a creepy cabin (Horace's cabin, as I recall?) that he felt was a good place to trick Locke. Maybe he was aware that Jacob used to live there, and

I didn't even listen to the Wet Hot episode, because I just have no interest in that show. It's the first CBB I've made a conscious decision to skip.
Really enjoy MIB Men in Black, though, so the bonus-s-s-s-s epis-s-s-s-s-ode was a treat. I loved his "needlessly dour asshole" shtick.
And Todd is just the best.

Hollywood Handbook has made it impossible for me to listen his show anymore. It so perfectly satirizes that bullshit pseudo-intellectual LA podcast conversation trend in podcasting.
Also, lizard brains.

I'm in no way defending Konami. Fuck them. The way they've handled Kojima's exit and PT is ridiculous. But I'm impressed, at least up until MGS4, there was seemingly no creative intervention made on their part. Nothing about those games would seemingly appeal to a wide audience.

My dad is Bob Odenkirk, so I can sort of understand where you're coming from.
