yep, that was me. (hi.) and yeah, those Trial & Error posts are definitely just glorified recaps and i wasn’t feeling them at all. this review, however, more than makes up for it. (well done, Laura!)

THANK YOU. 

yeah hi, i don’t get paid to write here, so i’ll punctuate my sentences any way i like, thanks. feel free to address the actual content contained within my post or gtfoh with your respectability politics and tone-policing. it’s such a dumb & lazy way to try and discredit someone’s argument. it’s a stylistic choice,…

errr, being an avid AV Club fan and commentor for the last 10 years or so, i expected the sort of high-quality analysis this community USED TO be known for. alas.

yes, it was a callback to... my own comment. because you’re still doing it. and it still kinda sucks. 

i really enjoy this show, but i see we’re going with the “describe every single plot point without discussing them in any meaningful way” brand of review for this season. way to go, AV Club. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

i watched all of those Netflix Comedy lineup samples so you don’t have to:

boooooo to no weekly Harlots recaps! it’s so dense and there are tons of awesome ancillary characters/plotlines to discuss. (...like the new drunk little person! i didn’t catch her name; was it Lily?) also, where did the singing blonde drunk girl who worked in the street go? and no more bitchy French chick?! sniff.

i lol’d and accidentally spit Alfredo sauce on my laptop. 

pretty silly that this list leaves off Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle, Clerks, Empire Records, and Go.

i’m a girl. aaaaaand no thanks, on all counts.

you fuckin’ obtuse moron.

uhhhhh, by “administration,” did you mean our current President? you know, the same guy who’s been accused of sexually harassing dozens of women and literally brags about sexually assaulting women on tape? because it seems to me that this administration VERY MUCH CONDONES this behavior, insofar as they’re like...…

i’d give Jared my number.

this show fuckin RULES.

not clear, but they did say that he was kinda running his own shit and that Moscow seemed content with letting him do his thing as a covert op. (until the “don’t let Simone testify” pressure came down from above, that is.)

he indicated that he was associated with “the people paying the bill” - the lawyer was working for the Russians, not Simone specifically. if the people pulling the pursestrings want something, esp when those people are scary-ass fuckin Russians, i feel like the imminent threat is implied.

yeah, Paley clearly knew that Simone’s testimony was bullshit and was “convinced” by her waterworks only insofar as he wanted her to be believable before the rest of the committee. he gave her that “knowing psychopath” nod that he uses when he’s playing a murderer on The Good Wife. it was as if Simone’s tears were…

fuck Mark Wahlberg tbh.

my favorite Brendan Fraser role of all time is prob his guest appearances on Scrubs as Jordan’s brother. 😢
