Every moment of the show after David and Amy first go to the house was so, so effective. So many scares, such atmosphere, Aubrey Plaza just killing it.

The Americans! Everybody it's a good thing, ain't it true it's a monumental good thing! (Any Devo fans around?)

"Rarely is the question asked: is our politicians learning?"

Ooh, Betsy Tough Love - I like it. Except those fingertips in the final second suggest Lenny-in-the-head is really the Yellow-eyed Devil.

Emily Stephens: "if I wanted to watch TV about a madman who speaks in monosyllables, has a weird haircut, and is into incest, I would have watched the State of the Union!" But seriously folks: I might have done my share of whining about the reviews, but thanks to Emily for writing them anyway. It's nice to have a…

I just about peed my pants in the scenes with the big-headed Angriest Boy character. But then, I'm generally a wimp. Like Syd I can at least will myself to wake up from nightmares, like they're closing in and I decide "nope, I'm out".

Ha ha, is anyone still reading these tedious reviews?

If everyone is turning on the 100% awful Jessa, I have nothing but support for that. If Hannah hadn't kept Desi from bleeding out, Jessa would be the worst person on the show.

Does anyone else ever occasionally wonder if others can hear their thoughts? Uhhh…me neither.

YES, Zilpha finally killed that asshole! I was wondering if the show would put it off longer, but Oona Chaplin's crazy eyes said different. Though with Delaney on clean-up duty, I don't know how much Zilpha's agency will actually increase.

Hannah spends another season premier fucking the guest star; it's Donald Glover all over again. Marnie fools around with Desi (are you fucking kidding me?). Adam, Jessa, and Desi are awful (in ascending order). Welcome back to Girls everybody!

What to do with them, Spicer? 1. Fill with bleach. 2. Aim towards self.

with Orange uniform jackets, no less.

I like the show so far. It has the most stylish of mental hospitals, awesome music cues, a sweet dance number, and the exposition isn't too clunky.

Obviously as a chemist I am biased, but I really like the whacked-out chemist Chumley. And now he has a little helper! Ah, the days when I worked for a manic degenerate at university…

Gonzo visual of the episode: a tie between crabs in the corpse-hole and the stuffed giraffe looking over the king's shoulder.

Eventually I guess I will seek out the YouTube or whatever of all the speakers on stage, but they sure couldn't be heard from where Wifemate and I were standing on the other side of the Native American History Museum. It was good to be out there anyway and add to the headcount (maybe up to 1.5 mill now?) and boo at…

NO INCEST! (That's the implication, right?)

I toured the facility for the Green Bank Telescope in WV. They had a scale model of the solar system with flagpoles marking the relative distances of the planets. Pluto's flag was at half-mast!
