For me, the moment that the show transitioned from good to great was when Pawnee became heavily populated enough that the angry mob opposing Leslie went from being a bunch of anonymous extras yelling ridiculous shit to being a bunch of familiar faces you were excited to see again yelling ridiculous shit. This show's

Shout-out to Derek Jarman's "Blue" and John Huston's "The Dead". I'm a little sad to not see them on here, not gonna lie.

Yeah, I think it's bullshit in terms of gauging artistic merit, but every year you get to watch movies like Whiplash and Grand Budapest compete in a PR and marketing battle royale against bullshit. It's honestly kind of fascinating to me.

I haven't seen this episode yet, but I liked this comment anyway because I'm weirdly, genuinely thrilled that someone out there named an account after Garol.

Rapists, or perpetrators of mail fraud, whichever.

A spin-off titled "Garol: The Time-Traveling Detective". Who's in?

This show nailed the well-meaning but wildly condescending "I love you [like an adorable desktop wind-up monkey]!" better than anything I've ever seen.

My brain just shat itself. Oh my god.

She's going to be a regular on one of Showtime's upcoming shows playing Steve Coogan's wife. I semi-selfishly want it to get cancelled so she can picked up by a show willing to put her at #1 on the call sheet, because goddamn she's good.

It's spelled "fa-LAAAMING."

Let's pour one out for the good ol days when Archer and Rick and Morty serendipitously ran back-to-back.

The sound editors for this show deserve bajillions of dollars, because the comic timing they create among people who aren't even performing together is fucking insane.

She has a startlingly memorable scene in the season 3 premiere.

Was anyone else's heart weirdly warmed by Archer including Pam with him and Lana as being the only "strong ones"?

If Alison Wright showed up on this show, I would literally vomit from joy.

They're basically the 21st century's C3PO and R2D2.

That genuinely worried me when I found out that it was the same actor.

That might have been the hardest I've ever laughed at this show.

The Petra-fakeout was so well-done. Couching it in the middle of all the "BE THE TELENOVELA!" chatter made me genuinely believe they were going there, and it somehow still didn't feel like a copout because of how much more Petra's worth to this show alive than dead. And it STILL moved the plot forward with Magda

Between Rose burying her husband in cement and Magda popping out of her chair to knock Alba down the stairs, this show is really killing it at taking moments that you predicted a few weeks ago and turning them into something so fucking insane that they feel shocking anyway.
