I absolutely agree the show was making fun of itself, but that on its own doesn't make it enjoyable (though I'm glad it did for you).

Really, you'd think they'd done the thing where the reason they've got only four new kids (and two of them twins of the twinniest kind, so three really) is so they could have the time to get to know each of them. Except all four of them have been COMPLETELY IGNORED since their introduction. So.

It's just occurred to me that Leslie and Ben would be the most incredible parents. Leslie's periodic out-of-control episodes might be a challenge, and certainly once you got into your late teens and (God forbid) started to consider leaving the nest you'd be in for a few years of intense unpleasantness, but other than…

Yeah, I've stopped even trying to make sense of the tribulations of the Glee club vs Sue vs the administration. I'm pretty sure the show has too.

That's a lot of speculation and interpretation coming from you.

Valyrian steel is incredibly rare though, and it's implied that the Lannisters don't have a family sword made of Valyrian steel so these two are a big thing for them. Given the coincidence of the Lannisters being in possession of the Stark sword, and suddenly they've got these new Valyrian steel weapons when they…

Ah, the Lion And The Rose: The Episode Where They Keep Talking About Unlucky Weddings And Wishing Joffrey A Long Reign And Other Totally Non-Foreshadowy Things.

How about the music in this episode ? I understand it's usually been fairly accurate to the time (I remember the Decembrists song being noteworthy as an exception in I want to say Maidenform), and there was that big moment when they used the Beatles. I was struck by the music in the scene where Don is on the flat…

Actually those bits of "irrelevant jargon" were each completely relevant to the specific arguments they came up in and I certainly wasn't trying to alienate anyone (though "showboating" when explaining science, what it actually says and how it actually works to Creationists is rather inevitable).

Yeah, until it turns out that by "gravity" creationists think "things fall down", not "Newton's Theory of Gravity" (Let alone Einstein's!).
Whenever I've been in a situation where I brought up specifics of said theories, like inertial mass vs gravitational mass, or gravity acting everywhere in the Universe, or the…

Then it would be widely accepted (depending on what it's curing I guess); I am not a doctor so I could be wrong but I bet many kinds of chemotherapy have worse odds than that.

Arya and the Hound are THE BEST comedy duo.
"What's a lommy" hahahaha

Best is still when right after the meeting where this is revealed he blows up at April as if she's a horrible person whose fault this all is. Typical Schuster.

Dissing Rose ? I can't see where; her character is praised at length in the text. Pointing out that she benefits from upper-class privilege isn't a diss. The issue isn't that Rose is wrong to say that, or that she should have said something different. It's that someone not of her class or position would never have…

I thought this episode was beautiful and heartbreaking, as someone who was more broken up than I would have expected from Cory Monteith's death :'(

What an amazing turning-point of an episode. I didn't think it was possible but I now think I might actually be able to buy a Walter White redemption.

He wouldn't even need to kill Todd; just painfully, cripplingly and permanently incapacitate him enough that the can make his escape.

@avclub-59c4e0a1cedba7dc5ff1541ac8b60028:disqus , all I know about film theory is what I've read in SEK's posts at LGM, and I'm fairly leery of art criticism in general for the same reasons you gave (when you say "this stylistic effect means this, and has that effect on the viewer" my reaction is often "Is that true ?…

I'm catching up on Treme, Liz Lemon on 30 Rock-style (I heard it gets really good in the third season !).

My take is that "you have the prostate of a 20-year old" is foreshadowing that his results got mixed up with someone else's. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop the whole episode.
