Which is why I am spitefully thrilled that Parks' final season ended up being their highest rated comedy by about an 80% margin.

In terms of how it matures, it somehow both evolves past the books and evolves into the books. It's basically an act of witchcraft, and should be mandatory viewing for any writer or director that's attempting to remake something, because it's a ridiculously savvy adaptation.

"You better hurry, the pill that lets me feel emotions is about to wear off."

Do you guys remember that scene at the end of The Exorcist where Father Karras ascends to heaven and is reunited with his mother as a reward for his bravery?

Wow, it just sank in that Cruel Intentions was probably SMG's second best role.

"Were you drunk, or merely mentally unhinged?"

"Last week, after I took a smoke machine to the burn unit to see how they'd react, I ate so much General Tso's, THEY GAVE ME HIS HAT. I don't even look good in hats! I'M SO BAD!"

Meloni, done, game over, shut it down.

I loved the opening pretending that it was setting up Kevin as the new Richie with the feint towards acting like Looking For the Future 2, and then two minutes later just said "Nope, absolutely not."

I knew Castillo was coming back this episode, but I still did stupid-excited claps when I heard his voice.

They had 0.0% success over here, but they were all over The Gay Internet. Because of that, I was vaguely familiar with them as a teenager, which is why I was a little surprised that Patrick, who's about five years older than me, was acting like Kevin was saying nonsense words to him when he brought them up.

It's a testament to how weirdly naturalistic this show is that I was genuinely worried about Patrick's test coming back positive. This show is so oddly shaped that the "The main protagonist's going to come out okay" standard doesn't feel like a guarantee at all.

This show often turns into an almost-horror movie for me because I relate to Patrick more than I'm ready to admit to.

This was probably the funniest episode of the show to date. I loved the Chipotle bit and laughed out loud at the woman on the hotline breaking down and bonding with Patrick over Murder She Wrote.

These reviews are the perfect antidote to reading comments on other sites bitching about the show being boring. I think that even as a TV show, Looking has some of the best honest-to-god filmmaking running right now, and I often feel like the rest of the internet is gaslighting me. I appreciate Brandon confirming that…

I would have loved to have seen it, but at the same time, I kind of love the mythical quality it takes on when you only hear about it. I don't ask much of this show, I just ask that literally every episode ending with someone asking "Where's Doris?" and someone responds "The last time I saw her she was leading a gang…

Watts invented it, McDermott perfected it.

THE HAT. This show gets the biggest reactions out of me from the tiniest things. Crazy-impressive for such a quiet little show.

I was kind of disappointed that we didn't get to see her lesbian waterskiing adventure, but if there's a recurring bit this season where every episode ends with a reveal of increasingly insane shenanigans that she pulls offscreen, I would laugh.

This feels… rude.
