That song actually showed that Wes Borland had some good melodic sensibility as a guitar player. Too bad he had to write songs with Fred Durst.

"Hey, you guys like Curtis Axel? Well, you're stupid. He's a jobber. See? He's a comedy jobber, you stupid, stupid fans." That's basically what they've done with Axel the past 2 weeks.

Yeah, at one point I was thinking, "Guys, get over it. Bryan is where he is. They won't listen to us." But on the other hand, "Fuck this company. He clearly deserved to be in the main event, and deserved to stand tall over Lesnar, even if it's for 30 seconds before Rollins cashes in and the authority screws Bryan yet…

Scully and Hitchcock reminded me a lot of Polk & Mahone from the first season of The Wire. I don't think that's unintentional.

But then they don't cook evenly! I don't blame Rosa, I'm a spaghetti breaker all the way.

One thing that really stood out to me last night was how fast Jake was talking in every scene. It was almost distracting early on, to the point where I couldn't tell if they were speeding up the footage to get the dialogue across quicker. It just seemed like they tried to cram in a LOT of story in an episode where 2…

This storyline didn't do a lot for me because it made Charles a little too mean for my liking. Charles is a good cop, so I can see why it would frustrate him working with these 2, but his attitude early on was just un-Boyle-like for me. But it resolved quite nicely, and gave me a few laughs. I just wasn't super into…

April was the insecure, cynical, jaded outcast type when P&R started. Gina is kind of the opposite of that.

In Jake's mind, he's John McClaine. That kind of made sense to me, that he wasn't freaking out too much; he knew he would find a way to outsmart Hoytsman and get out of there. I just think the scenario was so over the top that it didn't work that well, despite some funny lines from Parnell.

I love this show, but the only part of this episode I really enjoyed was the Gina/Terry/Holt plot. Boyle almost seemed too mean in his prejudice towards Hitchcock and Scully, and the Jake plot was just absurd. I liked Parnell's character, but the storyline on the whole didn't work for me. They can't all be winners.

313, Fuck Free World!

Giuliana saw dreadlocks and went right to the hackiest of hack hippy jokes, "patchuli and weed". I was more offended that she used the lamest, most cliched joke imaginable, not by any racial implication (because, honestly, I've only heard the patchuli joke when referencing white hippies with dreadlocks).

That is a great drinking/new years type of song.

Chuck Todd didn't have that "TV Look" but I'm glad that his awesome reporting has gotten him into the position he's in now. David Gregory sucked.

I honestly am way more on board with Tom Cruise in 2015 than I am with Matt Lauer.

I just thought of the synth part you're talking about, and it hit me — that's pretty much the theme song for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire!

He rarely called anyone terrible. He was so positive it was annoying. But he did give this immortal quote once.

"Full Circle" is another one I love.

I wish I could find that SNL sketch somewhere. Damn you, music licensing fees!

That song does not have any of the playfulness of Van Halen. They took Eddie's style of riffing from "Panama" and "Unchained" and made it into stilted, 4/4 meathead headbanging nonsense without any of that swinging VH swagger. I like that song, but it sounds nothing like Van Halen.
