This is a show I began watching a couple months into Season 1 purely due to acclaim on the AV Club, having passed if off without a second thought when I saw the name elsewhere, finally proving that despite skeptics, this place ain’t too bad. I came for the pop music satire and stayed for the honest mental health

I wanted to see Trent just because, as people have out before, his journey had a lot of parallels to Rebecca’s, and we last left him off at the revenge stage. Did he ever make it to “A Diagnosis”? We’ll never know, but I sure hope Pooky did.

Half my Facebook feed is convinced that After Life is the greatest thing ever. It’s also entirely conceivable that half my Facebook feed are idiots, though.

People really complained about that? That’s extremely disappointing to hear, because Sun and Moon reinvigorated my interest in Pokemon after X and Y nearly killed it, largely due to it being just a new coat of paint on the same damn thing I’d bought 6 times by then. Sun and Moon made the adventure felt fresh again by

Yeah, there came a point where I was watching these series purely out of obligation of how they would inevitably intersect again, despite not REALLY enjoying any of them since Jessica Jones S1. I haven’t even watched The Punisher S2, because once the axe started coming down on these shows, that obligation disappeared.

Thanks to Big Old Kitties, “Goosey Lawless” had to settle for being merely the 2nd best pun of the evening.

This has been pinpointed elsewhere, but every lyric in “Motion Sickness” lines up with this story. I’ve played this song frequently the last couple years, but never made the connection until just now, and geez if it doesn’t take on a whole new meaning now:

I remember their drummer went on a tirade about Wayne Coyne being a racist asshole a few years back, but I don’t know how that all concluded.

Seriously, I went to see it this weekend, and there’s plenty of references no kid will understand, one of my favorites being to a certain movie from the last decade that no responsible parent would let their kid see.

Yeah, I felt the same way about the Kuchi Kopi episode - both ambitious episodes taking place in the imagination that kinda lost me as they went on. I love absurdity, but Bob’s is such an amazingly low-stakes show much of the time that it’s not what I watch it for. Except “Sliding Bob’s”, that one is brilliantly

Mindy St. Claire should feel right at home in West Covina; there’s plenty of cocaine in the San Gabriel Valley.

Seven! It’s an 18-episode season.

Well yes, we know that now, but this post was made nearly a year before that episode aired.

Hell of a last few days for new music when the first new Vampire Weekend in 6 years isn’t even in my top 3 favorite things I’ve heard. I’m still digesting the fact that this Conor Oberst/Phoebe Bridgers project is an actual thing.

I started shedding a tear at that memories reel. Gonna feel a bit empty the next 8 months without this show, which I’ve become more emotionally invested in than I ever thought I would.

Derek has also been rebooted 500,000 times, as opposed to Janet’s roughly 800 reboots. So he’s still deficient compared to Janet despite having 625 times as many reboots (had to use a calculator for that one, shut up), but that’s also probably due to Mindy teaching him very few things that aren’t related to sex, drugs,

I could see it playing out like this (though introducing us to all 4 humans and then canning them while juggling a Janet/Derek/Jason love triangle in 22 minutes might get cramped), since the “Humans live on Earth while being observed and mentored” plot that we thought was going to dominate season 3 lasted like...3

In 4th or 5th grade, my mom made me carpool with my class bully since he lived nearby. He and his mom were obsessed with the Cats soundtrack and would play it multiple car rides per week, because it wasn’t enough for that little asshole to just torment me on the playground. My hatred of Cats developed early through

I personally prefer reheatable pretzels over pretzel stand ones, for the sole reason that every mall pretzel stand I’ve seen serves their pretzels pre-buttered. I’ve even asked if they serve any without butter. Nope. Am I just the wrong one then for just wanting the salt on top with no butter?

One of my favorite things about this season is how we’re seeing multiple things that seemed like throwaway jokes, like Doug Forcett and the iteration of Michael’s Good Place where every place is a kabob restaurant.
