Or, let's forget about it?

It's a start, but there aren't many comments discussing the whole season, and everyone is still treading very lightly with spoilers.

I used that time to take a small break between sobs, as I feel zero sympathy for Healy.

Overall, I found her story to be the least interesting this season, but the writers at least had the good sense to shift her out of the foreground, and give equal time to everyone in the ensemble. I don't think it would hurt the show if she was released from prison and written out entirely, TBH.

I pretty much wept openly from the end of episode 12 on through the end of the season finale. Devastating.

I feel the exact same way. I had basically written off the show after season 3, and this review made me re-think that. I was very impressed. All the show needed to work was to shift Piper's story to the background. Or at least to be on even footing with the rest of the inmates. They used the strength of their ensemble

So, given that we aren't burning through these with a "Binge" series of articles, and that spoilers are verboten in the comments… is there a place for those of us who HAVE finished the season to discuss? If so, I'm not seeing it. And its killing me.

I live in Los Angeles, so im hoping theres at least a wide variety of garbage to choose from.

I've got a boatload of tickets, I'll be interested to see what the "eligible events" are when they show up. Because I'd imagine they won't be great.

Retain't Misbehavin'

Could you, like, use like more in your comments? It like, totally reinforces that you have a really good point.

I loved that the first episode did everything Mr. Show was great at. The opening sketch led right in to the poker game/New Years sketch, and that sketch informed everything that followed after, showing each of the 5 following up on their resolutions in various ways.

For real? I always felt like this sketch was a fan favorite. "Keep em comin', Gleep Glop" is one of the most commonly quoted phrases from the show.

Well, 2/3 were both me…so maybe not as common as you'd think.

Same!

I watched this movie with my dad. At the time, we were renting all sorts of quirky indie flicks from the store, and watching them together. The internet was not quite what it is now, so we largely went in to these movies cold, and knowing nothing about them that wasn't told by the cover art.

Yes.

He acknowledges that within the segment, which they also acknowledge within the article.

I actually discovered some fun bands I wouldn't have otherwise that way. Accidentally stumbling across Pavement while trying to make a Tool mix for a friend in high school was one of the happier accidents to come from all that. Put me on a completely different (and vastly better) musical path at a crucial time.

Her bit in The Lobster was so brilliantly, darkly funny.
