Aaron Taylor Johnson for Stephen Miller. Did you see him in “Nocturnal Animals?” THAT'S Stephen Miller.

Candy by Lou Reed is also too in the nose. But his Sweet Jane from the 87 live album is the best version of that song anywhere.

Lots of penultimates feel like finales. This one too. Abby’s speech wrapped up her arc nicely as well. The crowd reaction gave her what she wanted: acceptance by New Yorkers as one of their own. It took 14 years but she earned it. Again the theme: loving the attention. Needing the attention.

The classic:

Lemons/lemonade = polish that fucking script people. Knock it out of the park. Plus they can start filming his scenes flying the ship and other stuff in half that time.

Get well soon, buddy.

I can’t decide if Mick Mulvaney is Will Patton in “No Way Out” or the Nanny at Damien’s birthday party in “The Omen.”

It’s very “of our time” in that it’s heavy on the villains. The villains are all presented, thankfully, as complicated & compromised people. It makes for a show that can get and stay heavy, even with snark and gross-out humor. I kind of feel like the main bad guy of The Boys is basically the kid in Brightburn all

Is it weird that I want Veep back on the air? 

Apparently she's a well hydrated woman.

When all else fails, hook a pair of jumper-cables to a metal hat. Lol.

I missed the G'day because I was laughing too hard.

Also interesting that Harvey finally kissed Eileen, and she let it play out for a minute.

Perfectly displayed and untouched, as if Judy wanted the table to look exactly like a commercial spread and not nervously snack on it. Which it was. Meta hilarious.

“Enjoy the rest of your Outback Steakhouse dinner, Judy."

B- appropriate because they’re doing a version of Agents of Shield’s Framework. There. I’ve vented about it. I’m sure their take will be compelling. Start the clock on Hope/Eve turning the tables on her creator. (No snark: Eve Tessmacher: Computer Enhanced Supervillian sounds like a blast.)

That Outback Steakhouse monologue! Just when you think it’s tapped out, it gets wilder and wilder. It’s like they came up with these crazy pages for Judy to say in the writers room, probably in one giant stoned binge one weekend, landed on this one and said, “Oh, this one we gotta save for the finale.”

I know it was edited that Alice wrote something and then Kate found something on her motorcycle, but did I misinterpret that the message actually came from Batman? I read it as “You have your father’s eyes.” Then the bat was alive. Alice seems more like a “send a dead bat” type. I read it as a fake out:
