I chuckled at the cuts between Heidi talking about how she’d gotten rid of her fish because they didn’t really do it for her, and staring at the Fat Morgan’s sign.

I loved the painting moment too. The wine in the glass isn’t level, so you shift the painting to make the wine level, but now the entire painting is askew. Metaphors ahoy! Also, that wine reminded me of the liquid in the vials from a few eps ago.

Ooh, I was hopping in my seat when Cruz gave his monologue about his trip, and in the background, through the window blinds, you can barely see Craig move into frame and notice what’s happening. It’s like a 2 second moment, the music doesn’t change, and it’s so subtle and creepy.

Wondered that myself... maybe he was paranoid about someone being at the party that he didn’t know? Or just judging what cars his friends were driving?

Finally catching up on this, and I might be the only person who feels like the score is hitting me over the head with a hammer. I get that it’s meant to be a bit over the top and self-referential, but do we need that gimmick in every episode?

... he agreed to get pancreatic cancer in 37 years.

Funny thing is, DeNiro of today would take that role in a nanosecond.

He’s actually quite sweet in Don’t Trust the Bitch in Apt. 23. That’s all I knew his as for a long time.

Good on Debra Jo Rupp getting her name listed third in the credits for a guest role in episode one and maybe a line or two in the whole series after that.

I think someone thought it would be more dramatically interesting to have them meet again later and have Wanda learn then that this is still essentially her Vision, which is a big psychic shock after getting to the point where she’s accepted that he’s gone. Does she throw herself back into his arms? Will the thought

Well, I’ve loved her in everything I’ve seen her in, so I must be trapped in some sort of OlsenVision...

Ya Ya Ding Dong” or GTFO

Louis B. Mayer is very entertaining. It’s worth watching for his scenes alone. The film has been described as a slog, but the dialogue is generally pretty zippy.

She was the Olsen not in Full House.

He’s also charming and genuinely kinda funny in person, so she’d be more inclined to give his jokes a shot. I knew it probably wouldn’t end well, but I didn’t expect quite that level of hack based on his establishing scene.

She’s drunk off her ass when she flashes the crowd - it’s not a regular part of her act. At that point it’s not even an act. And she’s immediately arrested for it, as she is for obscene language later. I think the show knows how extraordinary these moments are compared to typical 50s entertainment. I get that women in

In a very funny episode, I think I laughed hardest at Abe’s tiny chalk drawing of a gravestone.

You can see Senor Chang in anything. Guy’s in every second movie that comes out.

“Now your pig valve is kept elastic with a solution of shrimp brine, and the stitching is made with plastic from recycled milk jugs. And don’t forget your pills - they’re infused with a not-too-sweet wine flavour, yum!”

She will forever be running towards Kevin Arnold in my mind.
