It introduces The Teacup Thing, which pays off really nicely later on, but besides that, it feels like a "test episode" that they learned to not repeat.

I've always enjoyed Dodo on the show, but this was the episode I realized that I didn't just find her funny, I was actually rooting for her. Good job, Paget Brewster.

Jason Ritter is definitely the show's unsung hero.

Those unblinking eyes at the end of that scene suggest differently, but the show is deranged enough that I'd put nothing past it.

Goddammit, I know Christina Hendricks is busy, but was it really too much to ask to have a full second season of having Celine be the Baddest Bitch of the Manor before Blanche gets to triumphantly kill her? Considering the show's soap opera style, I guess we can't really count out a "…And then Chair pulls off her wig"…

A few points behind "Wet Hot American Summer".

I assumed Alana was going to be The Old Friend for a while, but after this episode, I'm pretty sure it's going to be Bedelia if they get to that point.

I liked Season 2 Alana. Honestly, at that point in the series, I don't find believing Hannibal over Will to be THAT crazy.

I really wish they kept Prurnell around as the show's Designated Frank Grimes-type character.

If they kept this gag up for a theoretical fourth season, I can't imagine anything they could possibly do to him besides some sort of Boxing Helena type situation.

I appreciate how candid he is about that. I feel like people throw around "DREAM LOGIC!" as a catch-all excuse for anything that doesn't work, but in this case I really do feel like the off-kilter dialogue really does help keep this show in whatever strange alternate universe it exists in.

Plus, Chilton's also a Freddy anyway. I'm embarrassed by how long it took me to realize that.

Michael Rymer (Beast From the Sea, Tome-Wan, Yakimono, Entree, other stuff) is directing the finale.

Out of all the horrific shit this show has pulled, the lip rip might be the one thing I will never be able to handle re-watching on this show.

In the list of reasons why I'm glad the show made it to Season 3, finally getting to do a Red Dragon adaptation is #1, and finally making Alana interesting is a very close #2.

I say "CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE ACK" at least three times a day.

YAS, KWEEN is my #1 answer. Also, "stone cold dumb-dumb", courtesy of Jason Mantzoukas on How Did This Get Made.

I really like that idea, but I'll also happily take any development that brings AJ into the outside world.

BUT IS THE CAST OF GETTING ON OKAY?
