I want Carnivale back!!!

How could it not? The most perfect 4 minutes of television EVER!

That's fair, I felt it getting schlocky, but for the sensibilities of the times, this was a great way to win over the crowd. I think love is largely overblown and is more a choice than anything else.

I don't know, I understand her a lot…i think she's a really well written teenager.

it'll probably be all The Graduate type ish at the end of the season with a cliffhanger will they/won't they…which is silly because…DUH THEY WILL!

You still can, because Bill is just as bad of a father. I think her not falling into the nurturing mother trope is refreshing and real. Not all women are good mothers and it's a double standard to expect her to be a good parent when we don't expect the same of Bill

very clinical and even comfortable. I love no nonsense sex talk.

OMG SHE IS?!?!?! In BCS she's like the personification of one of those stick figure family moms on the back of a minivan.

Yeah, I think that's a really interesting choice. He's never said the word "gay" or admitted his attraction to men. He seems like he just can't say the words. I like that we don't see him say it, as it adds to all the shame/closeted feelings he's going through.

I love when she caught herself being all mooney eyed during bill's speech on love. She was honestly affected, and then needed to remember reality.

She was looking GREAT in the West Wing. Total power suit career coif badass perfection. She was really terrific in it.

Specifically, the Jackal! God, I love her always and forever.

Yes, I loved that you could see Bill was enjoying it too, then took a step back and realized what an asshole he is. HE was uncomfortable about the amount he enjoyed bullying this kid.

When he was all in doctor mode for Libby a few episodes ago, he was the most comforting person in the world. I want him to be my kindly doctor/grandpa

This! (i finally got a chance to watch this week's episode, apologies to everyone who's moved on) I was super excited to see a poly relationship on the show, and I just really wish it was in a more positive light. I think Tate did pretty well walking the line of knowing what he wants without being too pervy. I think…

I find songs by her and other schmaltzy late 80's/early 90's as some of the most comforting songs out there. I think it's because they all remind me of my mom, and what's more comforting than hearing songs you heard in the car with her when you were a mid teen and she was taking care of shit? Roxette does it for me…

Didn't he groom her online, and that was the reason they met in the first place? I saw it a long time ago.

I KNOW!!! I started talking to my partner about the teachercenter sketch before I realized it was still happening!

Teaching Center gave me so many different bittersweet feelings. On my god…I just couldn't even take it, and that BMW commercial. oh god. It was just SOOOOO FUCKING MUCH!

You are smart! Tituss as the lion? Genius!
