If I remember my blues tunes right, the monkey said it was a big burly elephant talking shit about the lion's sister

Did you HEAR the turtles fucking, though? Because I've seen enough turtle porn online to know that it sounds kind of adorable

That is exactly my current theory… also explains the "were you looking at porn?" laptop slam

I didn't remember "don't be riDEEKoo-loose" as Balki's catchphrase until halfway through reading the review, now it's stuck in my head like a pop song

When that theme song started up, I was reminded of the story from the Napster days that Madonna uploaded a bunch of mislabeled songs from her new album that were actually sound files of her yelling "What the fuck do you think you're doing!?" over and over again. I thought maybe HBO had uploaded a decoy file to the…

what plays? what roles? If I eat your brain will I absorb the memories?

Nora's sardonic depths are what I love about her, as a person and as a character. Her giving Kevin shit, then later cracking up laughing when he earnestly proposed they have a baby together (and, of course, pulling herself together and apologizing). The writing and the acting combine to create such a fully human…

I'm not a guy who shocks easily, and that scene shocked the hell outta me

I didn't find it dull. For me it was entertaining, but understuffed. When it got to the end my reaction was "that's it!?" It was all setup, no payoff. For the first part of a season-long story? Great. But it felt incomplete as a self-contained episode.

Bill is giving me definite Ace vibes. First the badges on her jacket, then saying "wicked!" (wait, was it wicked or another Ace-ism?)

I hear he whups a camel's ass

I pulled it off by not watching TV. No commercials at all.

Alex is my favorite. You are not alone.

It was also the book that… whassername… the teen girl who worked at the butcher shop was always reading

I saw that more as a massive undercutting of her earlier spiel about how well-connected they are, the hand and the glove, practically reading each others' minds while playing bridge. I like how she's not a typical femme fatale— she seems to genuinely like her schlub, to the point of being blind to his obvious flaws

AH! I KNEW I recognized that name from somewhere. I just assumed it was from a previous season of Fargo and we'd be teasing out subtle inter-season references and connections for weeks to come.

If the FX CEO of butts would step out of the shadows, I would heartily like to shake their hand for the VERY IMPORTANT work they've done over the past month or so

I was thinking the same! The dispossessed brother certainly is hairier…

Also, the piece of paper with the address blowing out the window being a major plot catalyst…

I was wondering if the plot about borrowing money from gangsters and having them own you ever after was meant to be a nod to #TrumpRussia
