The shock factor was great, but having Wes's flash-forward be the only one out of chronological order for no reason other than to misdirect the audience is just lazy, especially for a show that, as mentioned, has done really dazzling work with time.

The ideas that generations of Fets have been fighting Eichorst as well as that Setrakian and Fet now have a bond that they don't even know about it is a total borrow from LOST and I love it.

I saw a two hour plus test screening of Jersey Girl in, you guess, New Jersey, and can confirm that there was in fact a full monologue written and wasn't very good. It did provide the set-up for what Big Willie Style said to him in that scene though, and now I'm blanking on what the trigger for Affleck's character was…

What? That ending is great! Even if it is more or less a riff on Burn After Reading, who would've thought that movie would end like that?

I agree with this very much. I thought there was some shockingly moving stuff in that season — Lucille's revelation that she doesn't want to be the "Invisible Woman", George Sr's breakdown (and boy, they're going to have to reconfigure where that one was going!), GOB mistaking genuine friendship for love because he'd…

Kudos on the perfect Cliff Claven impression.

Dr. Steve Brule electing to go back into his croma at the end of last season is probably a top 10 TV moment for me.

@disqus_qN5dqcxWFY:disqus I think Richard is wearing knee pads because Thomas Middleditch doesn't want to fuck up his knees.

Nah, there was Get Shorty in '95, and Jackie Brown just a few months before OOS.

Can't wait to attend a Paul Thomas Anderson retrospective in this universe. It's running from now until the end of time, though they couldn't get the rights to Hard Eight or The Master.

Colbert actually took a (slight publicized) paycut to do the CBS show.

You mean The O.C.?

I still think the show's nadir is Season 3, from somewhere in the middle of the Charlize arc until the penultimate episode.

Right. It's pretty well established that Michael loves being a martyr (up until he's actually needed, then he's resentful). The idea that George Michael being able an adult and able to function on his own (even to the point of them being able to date the same woman) throws his whole damn sense of self off balance.

Exactly. I mean, they clearly establish that Hurt is a History Professor. He's a demented guy with a reenactment fetish.

Freddy Rodriguez, not John Leguizamo.

And BoJack!

What the fuck kind of nightmare jobs have you had over the years?

He's some sort of insane Sean Parker/Mark Cuban hybrid, God help us all.
