Loved the Twin Peaks reference…anyone familiar with the Tommy Westphall TV multiverse theory? It connects over 280 TV shows back to the kid on St. Elsewhere who had autism. It's pretty awesome and extremely nerdy, although I couldn't find Twin Peaks or Fringe on there.

I guess there was also no trip to the Whole Foods/Restaurant supply store where the teams split up and communicate via whatever cellphone company is sponsoring the show.

I don't get the Pop Up/One Night Only concept
I mean I get Ludo's restaurant concept, but aren't all Restaurant Wars challenges a pop-up/one-night only type thing?

There were also two guys with two girls, one of the guys had a bluish plaid shirt on. Really wanted to punch him and the other guy in the face. There seem to be a lot of irritating New Yorkers on this show, like the top tier level of irritating. Which I guess makes sense since this is Top Chef

So the best albums of the year
aren't new albums. go fuck yourself Pitchfork

How did Jim Parsons win an Emmy
seriously, such an annoying delivery from that one. I'm just glad HIMYM is still on and the best single-camera sitcom on TV.

Man I don't like Paul Haggis
But I think my dislike of Scientology is far greater. Exactly how will Haggis make this story into an Altman-esque day-in-the-life feature film that teaches us all a lesson about racism in America?

6 weeks later?
Pretty sure it's just the week after the Thanksgiving break that Drew has in school, since his friends are talking about how they hated the holidays and having to spend it with family but Drew spent it with his grandpa and he drank beer and it was kind of awesome. Although it makes me wonder if we're…

Rush and Scream 4 make the list
But no Lupe Fiasco? C'mon!

Julie Taymor is a genius and a hero
She is basically staking her entire career on a "Producers"-like gamble that this musical will be the biggest failure in the history of entertainment. Once it fails that badly then other producers will stop taking every motherfucking movie, TV show, Twitter feed, band or novel…

They should just spin off the Justice League
From Smallville, or whatever it's called. The League is taken unfortunately. How about Justice? How about a rotating ensemble that features Justin Hartley most of the time along with other characters that have already been introduced, as well as other third tier DC…

All is right with the world
Huzzah!

It also kind of reminded me of Saw, which I've never seen but know all about from the ads. The actual mechanical equipment the guy used for the marionette had a very Saw feel to it.

Holly and AJ's long distance relationship
I'm kind of confused, why are they in a long-distance relationship? Just because Holly is temporarily in Scranton filling in for Toby? How long is Toby going to be out exactly? Or is it something different? Is she at a difference branch than AJ now?

The marionette scene
Creepier, as creepy or not as creepy as the first time you saw Jame Gumb done the skin suit, tuck his junk in and dance around in front of the camera?

Jamie seems like he'd be a birther
Stupid mustache, stupid beret, total birther. Also believes moon landing was faked and gov't behind 9/11. And seriously, take the fucking beret off, it's the goddamn president of the united states! It's not like Jamie was in the military either, he's a fucking special effects guy…

Why is it sad that comic book writers consider getting a deal to be winning the jackpot? A.) it kind of is. They've already made some money off the comics, now they might make more off the adaptation. B.) Comic book movies kind of kick ass right now. Despite the shake-ups on "The Walking Dead" the show is not only…

It makes sense in that these two episodes don't fit in with the storyline of season 4 in the least bit. if it wasn't for Kramer referencing his time in LA during the Teri Hatcher episode it would be like it never happened. I remember the Simpsons ep where Homer and Bart started collecting grease airing during the…

Didn't this episode air during the summer?
It wasn't part of the regular schedule of fall premieres as I recall. Anyone know why it aired when it did?

Emmy whistled when she spoke after her tooth was chipped
Loved that AD reference
