A-? THAT'S TOO MUCH, MAN!

I seem to remember this one being a little weirder than you give it credit for. That little musical number where she saws off a victim's foot was unnervingly strange.

Not only that, but they even nominated the wrong Guest Actress. No slight against Martindale, but this was not her season; Lois Smith should have owned the entire field from her one episode.

Oh boy oh boy is it great to have this show back! And Alasdair reviews back, too!

Please pass the milk
please

Not a bad list! Especially loving the John Henry inclusions. If you were to throw a couple extra floors onto this tower of power hour, I'd include "Meet James Ensor," the shining star of the TMBG subgenre of songs about not-famous famous people, and "No One Knows My Plan," which has among the TMBGiest lines in "in the…

I will never, ever shut up about how great Steven Universe has been this year in particular the 11 minutes known as "Alone Together."

Pretty thorough list! You seem to have omitted "Alone Together" by Steven Universe again. I'm sure that was just an accident though. Right? Right?!

Aw, just when I got all caught up.

Little did I know Channing is actually just an innocent version of Patrick Stewart from Extras: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Somehow, the C- makes me even more hyped to see this.

Pearl's reckless projection is an invaluable aspect of the character's nuanced portrait, a big part of what makes her (for me) the most compelling character on the show. It's abundantly clear that telling someone else "you are nothing" is wrong, about as wrong as flying yourself and your ward into space on a…

HOW TO TALK TO PEOPLE:

Because I wanted to do nothing else right now, I tallied a rough aggregate of the Top 5 lists posted here and came up with a Community Top 5 for the season.

More likely that he'll appear on Steven Universe, with the Wurster/Scharpling connection.

Hey Owl. I wanted to personally thank you for writing so much solid analysis for every episode here week-to-week. I always look forward to reading your post as kind of a Review 1.5, as you're able to clearly synthesize lots of stuff that Sava occasionally misses. Forever props.

Series Top for me:

1. Wake Up/Citadel/The Tower – Started with a bang, but it's not the season's fault that it couldn't meet the benchmark (though it nearly did). These were just the bonafide top turnips. I include “The Tower” because I view it very much as a piece with the first two, the conclusion to a phenomenal trilogy that…

The expansion of scope, as it relates to and strengthens Finn's personal journey, really came through in the finale. In its last moments, after a demigod slaying and offer of instant transcendence, the show champions the decision to just stay alive (relevant: https://www.youtube.com/wat… ).

Tig Notaro is absolutely perfect casting for an existentially transcendent comet-being who lists lots of things.
