Very, very small recap correction: The title of the book on the shelf at the start of the episode is The History of True Crime in the MID West, not WILD West. The only reason I point it out is the utter Fargo-ish-ness of a book with that title.

I liked how it was set up like its own mini exploitation short film within the show.

In that sense her demise reminded me of The Sopranos when Adriana had to take a trip to the woods when her "family" found out she was talking to the wrong people.

Why does AV Club keep trying to rehabilitate the prequel series?

*Exhaling deeply in resignation*

I'm guessing Breaking Bad had a couple of runs like that.

Nice try, but no.

An unfortunate regression for Sheldon's character in this episode. The last scene of the scavenger hunt got me unexpectedly angry. I've always held out a shred of hope that he would grow as a person, but Sheldon shouldn't be with anybody if he's going to be that much of a clueless caricature. But they're probably…

True that. Also, now that she knows Peggy stole from the shop, there might be some upcoming coercion on her part. Assuming Hahnzee doesn't wipe everybody out first, that is.

It's the first time in a while I've felt sympathy for Bernadette. The fact that she doesn't want to have kids was a plot point a few of seasons ago. Seems like she and Howard would have discussed that more before getting married, but that's just one more aspect of their pairing that doesn't make sense.

I think I might TiVo this one to see what it's all about. But I'm wary of these kinds of shows. Between this and Married, FXX seems to want to specialize in stories of middle-aged people mourning their lost youth.

I golf-clapped the moment Christina Applegate showed up on screen. She needs to be on a sitcom regularly. I'm hoping the "Up All Night" dud and TV natural bias against older women aren't holding her back.

I've always felt that RHCP would have been regarded as a top-tier Rock band if they had ever had a front-man who wasn't tone-deaf and had to rap most of the time. They've always had exceptional musicians, but the vocals were always lacking.

He's been pigeonholed into a symbol for the dumbing-down of celebrity chef shows, which really isn't his fault, but there it is. Plus, I heard his NYC restaurant sucks. He's also been accused of quite douchey behavior behind the camera.

Are you kidding? This was an "A" episode. It doesn't have to hang together, it was just flat-out funny. Five minutes of Aukerman and Ben Schwartz is more funny than 1/2 hour of most other sitcoms.

I think I've figured out the issue with Kid Cudi - he doesn't sing. Reggie Watts' vocal stylings added a dimension to the music that Cudi just doesn't have. And it feels like he's using the same three beats in every episode.

As convoluted as her writing is, it's also functioned as a convenient philosophical tool for those seeking to justify why a few people have almost everything while most people have nothing.

Seems like a lot of the "[BAND/ARTIST] Records The Legendary Album [ALBUM NAME]"- type stories would work better as anecdotes or documentaries than feature-length biopics. Even with the sex and drug extracurriculars, the drama of the creative process of writing and recording is so internalized it would be hard to make…

"You left us flapping in the breeze?"

Like some others here, I can't get on board with this episode's A/A+ grade. It was good, but comparing it to other shows or it's own previous episodes, I wouldn't give it an A.
