I kept waiting for Don and Meagan to have a big Tony and Carmella-style blowout, but I also enjoyed what we got instead.

Yes! That's what it reminded me of!

Also, Jesus, it seriously creeped me out. I like Lane a lot, and I feel like he's one of the few level-headed, non-insane people in that world, but now I can't help but picture him at the office late at night, whacking it to that picture.
 There's a weird thing with this show in particular, where it seems like they're

Pete Campbell and Roger Sterling : Mad Men :: Christopher Moltisanti and Pauli Walnuts : The Sopranos. And I love that. That and Peggy giving Don shit at his own party were my favorite parts of a really great two hours.

I only know Reed through Archer, but I tried to give Frisky Dingo a shot last weekend. It starts out really funny, with an awesome premise, but just more and more off the rails, until it seems like episode 10 has almost nothing in common with episode 1. I don't know if it was the time contraint or some "craziness"

That was really great. The kind of COMMUNITY episodes I love. Was feeling pretty meh about this show returning, but now, I'm so so glad it's back.

The movie was fine - it basically pulled by the curtain back a quarter inch. I felt the script was kind of rote - there's no "angle" to it, it's just a straight-up dramatization of the events as they happened (as opposed to, say, being filtered through one singular view) - and Jay Roach basically played everything in

I think you're right about Schmidt, but Nicole Wallace is practically deified in this movie.

That episode made me super-tense; like, Sopranos-tense, where it feels like at any moment, shit could go down. I half-thought Kenny was going to put that trident in Ivan's chest.

I rewatched Season 2 over the weekend (still, to my mind, the best continuation of a comedy ever) and was surprised when he showed up for a scene in the finale, having remembered that bit from the Vice article. Must have been one awkward day on set.

I'm with Nathan on the reaction shots - Kenny saying "fuck" followed by a cut to a kid was something that wasn't that funny by the end of the first season, and is actively not funny now. I know someone above said that it wasn't as bad as the dog coverings its paws over its eyes, but it's basically become this show's

Can I throw out "He was our happy little boy?" It's so amazing the level of denial she's operating at in that moment. I laughed out loud when I first saw it, because she's committed to it.

SPOILERS (is this necessary?)

AND that it's all done in service of the story. Not only is it funny, but there's a legitimately grounded reason why Jeff would do it.

I don't know, man. Between the plot that goofs on stories that have come before it, to paring off two characters in the ensemble in a wholly surprising and satisfying way, this episode had a lot of things that made me fall in love with Community in the first place. Mind-boggling that Todd has begun a serialized

When "Wise Up" started in Spanish 101, Community went from "Oh, this could be a fun show" to "Oh, this is a show that is operating on my exact wavelength."

King's been talking about doing a Shining sequel a lot longer than the last two years - I'm pretty sure he's mentioned the idea of doing a follow up on Danny Torrance since the late 80s (in fact, that Godawful miniseries has the epilogue with graduating-from-high-school Danny, so it was on his mind even then).

I really liked the stuff with Jeff and Susie tonight. It felt like all season they had been building the groundwork for a Jeff/Susie split (staring with Jeff's "I'm the only one not getting divorced!" in the premiere), only to end with the most contented moment we've seen from them. 
Divorce is great for Larry, but

Larry was only interested in being polite to the background musician because he was sleeping with her. He must have eaten in hundreds of restaurants with background musicians.

"Finest Hour" straddles this weird line between his usual razor-sharp wording and references and  Cosby-esque observational humor with a few bits straddling the two. I laughed a bunch, but it just doesn't have the energy that most of his earlier stuff has. That's understandable I guess - not only is he getting older
