Yes, it's ironic that the reviewer has been pushing this thesis all season, and then the one episode that categorically supports it is the one where she doesn't bother mentioning it. (Or does the fact that Lee is the one who disbelieved him make it somehow not racism?)

"I killed Daddy. That's on me, and me alone. No one else helped me. It's nobody's fault except mine."

It could be Monet, though.

I thought the twist was going to be that Wyatt could reproduce the letter from memory.

What's the actual line rendered above as "as proof when I slay asses"?

James Bell? If this is a House clone, shouldn't his name be Joseph Bell??

Back in her Suite Life days, I took so much flak for insisting that she was talented. I'm glad the world has come around to my point of view.

That whole "capturing Rudolf Hess" thing was probably helpful too.

"[This episode] does something too few found-footage fictions manage: It questions why the characters continue filming, even in fury or panic, and it justifies their choice."

I guessed the twist as soon as I saw that Kim Director was the kidnapped wife. Like she would ever play a damsel.

LUCY (seeing the clothes-room): Isn't this all a bit much?

The two real Bond movies mentioned in front of Fleming in the episode, Skyfall and Never Say Never Again, are ironically two of the very few whose titles don't derive from Fleming's life or work.

Another fun fact: Shakespeare switched the lands of Bohemia and Sicilia from Greene's original, which is probably why Bohemia suddenly grew a sea-coast.

That sounds more like Morton Downey Jr.

I went to a school run by evangelicals until I was 9. That is, quite literally, what they believe.

"Is that what a show runner does?"

All except the part about CBS shows not getting nominated for awards. (Really, that's true of every broadcast network that's not ABC, but CBS at least had Mom and Big Bang Theory score acting nods last year, while FOX had The Last Man on Earth and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, in contrast to zilch for NBC sitcoms.)

That skit would have made just as much sense applied to NBC (which hasn't had an award-worthy sitcom since Parks and Recreation) as CBS, which won Emmys for Alison Janney two out of the past three years and saw Janney, Christine Baranski, Laurie Metcalf, and Bob Newhart all nominated for CBS sitcoms this year.

Mom is a good multi-cam sitcom.

Who needs social justice warriors when we have Victoria Justice warriors!
