Really surprised that I never considered transitioning the series to a television series, because it makes perfect sense. Hope that this is the push needed to finally bring back the character.

It just felt much less impact considering that she HAD left the show for like half a season. I naturally assumed that this was the extension of that and Peretti wanted to move on, but this news that it wasn’t fully her decision is interesting...

Truly though, that moment where he catches the pencil in the end is like the end of the very best magic trick. I lost my mind when I first saw it. It’s just the perfect conclusion.

This is currently at the Barcade in NYC. I tried playing it a few times only to immediately die because it’s impossible to actually hear the instructions or figure out what to do.

Yeah, this is right.

Falk has said that the significance of Jake and Gemma’s photo on the wall is that Jimmy and Gretchen saw it while they were waiting for their appointment, starting riff on their lame love story, and then just started using that in their actual meeting. The photo is what sparked the whole thing.

Thank you for this.

Ditto. Me too.

Joel and Ethan Cohen both wrote on King of the Hill.

Logan Lucky is wonderful and it’s my favorite performance of Driver’s, too.

I LOVE that “More and more we’ve come to expect less and less of each other,” and have definitely used it myself, but LORD, Sorkin uses it at a commencement ceremony!?

Not for nothing, but a lot of this may also have to do that he was writing (every episode of) Sports Night S2 and West Wing S1 at the same freaking time and coked out of his gourd.

God, i forgot how flagrant this is! I have such a blindspot and love for Sorkin, but goddamn.

It’s really tough when you realize that Jeremy is actually an asshole.

He definitely was aware.

I think he thinks it’s to excite his fandom. Like re-used lines are supposed to be callbacks that celebrate his strong writing. He created dialogue so “brilliant” before, why even bother changing it?

The Ian Malcom cameo is actually from Dreamworks Interactive’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park game, not Trespasser.

It’d probably be Sin and Punishment, to be honest.

I think the ultimately better moment is from their high school reunion where it looks like they’ve performed a “good” dance, only for reality to then destroy that image. Obviously they couldn’t do the same gag, and the purpose of the scene is entirely different, but that seems like a better rounded sequence.

I mean, give them an Emmy, sure, but does McElhenney deserve a comedy acting Emmy for a dramatic dance performance? Insanely talented, yes, but it still feels like there’s disconnect.
