Call me crazy, but I have a feeling that CK was thinking about the scene where he has to try to throw a punch at Kurt when he wrote Tom's speech about quitting acting because he couldn't fake falling down. Louis CK isn't the best actor in the world, but he is good enough for the shows he does.

At first I thought that the Pete/Pete conversation was in Horace's imagination, but later it becomes clear from what they say to each other that this is all in Pete's (Buscemi) imagination. Little Pete is still alive and delusional and imagining that he is in the bar and talking to older dead Pete. Vikram, it sounded…

If you think this headline is a spoiler you need to seriously recalibrate your definition of "spoiler".

His father is Mexican-Hungarian, but his mother is American with Irish-German ancestry. So he is only allowed to write about lazy, drunk, nazi, vampires. How awesome a series would THAT be?!

Pete and Jenny's date takes place in a restaurant outside the bar building. I didn't find anything odd about the doctor's office setting.

The connection between Lucy's alcoholic outbursts and Tricia's Tourettes outbursts is drawn clearly for us, but perhaps more interesting is the connection between Kurt's desire to live permanently in an LSD-induced (slightly) distorted reality and Pete's fear of the distorted reality he faces without his drug. There…

So many things bad about this clip. First, the idea is completely unoriginal, both in general and in particular - Kimmel and CK made the Cheers connection pretty clear, so it's not like he discovered anything on his own. Second, the laugh track he uses doesn't sound like any real sitcom laugh track, so it lacks basic…

Deleted my comment? I guess you don't like feedback. Whatever.

I almost choked laughing at your reply! HAHAHA!!!

Vikram, I am sorry but unless you are transgender or you indicate that transgender people explicitly participated in your analysis of the episode, then by your own lights you cannot legitimately criticize the episode. So your grade is void. Sorry, but you made the rules.

I liked this episode a lot more than Vikram did. I don't really understand some of the criticisms like this: "Her blow up at Horace and Sylvia … doesn’t really feel believable because we don’t really know her." How much do you have to know about someone to find that believable? I don't see why you need to know…

Most Shakespeare plays are 5 acts. I'm hoping for 25 episodes :-)

Ok, so I'm late to the comment party and yes, episodes 5 and 6 are available as I write this, but I haven't seen them - Just the first 4.

I have no idea if the way the show was released makes it eligible for Emmy awards, but if Alan Alda is not nominated for Episode 1, Laurie Metcalf not nominated for this episode, and Louis CK not nominated for writing this episode then the Emmy's will be the poorer for it. Metcalf in particular deserves the highest…

That's a bit harsh, but I would agree that acting is hiss weakest talent. I think the problem is that he usually seems like the same person, so it's hard to separate this performance from others. He was not bad in Blue Jasmine and probably did his best acting in American Hustle, but yeah, his acting ability is…

You want things to be black and white when the world is almost always grey. You assume that one must be an innocent victim and the other to be worthless and need to know what colour hat to put on each. But the show presents the very real possibility that neither is lying and neither is blameless all at the same time.…

The correct answer is: It doesn't matter and telling us would be a distraction, so the show doesn't tell us difinitively. We know Michael is the kind of person who would have done it and wanted to do it - he says so himself. We also know Leslie is the kind of person who would do it - when she tries to insist she…

I didn't want to complain about Becca again, but since you mentioned it … I'm just glad they basically didn't let her speak. She couldn't even look convincingly sad when she was being led away in handcuffs!

It's funny that you talk about "loose ends" while also acknowledging that the details of what happens next (or even the details of what did happen before) is not the point. In fact, not ending the way a traditional drama might end serves as a way of emphasizing that the details is not what the show was about, or at…

Yes, PV, I agree with you about the Marshall scenes. For several weeks I have been waiting to see if there will be a real connection of the Tale of Two Schools, but it seems the Marshall story is officially a dead end now. Too bad. It had potential to be something much better. Both stories (we now know) involve…
