I agree. I think he was cast perfectly. He could've easily been way too irritating but he has just the right mix of enthusiastic insufferability.

That's what I never understood - why Rory even liked being around those loathsome people and definitely seemed to be charmed by them. She was cool with Logan stealing from her Grandmother as a game. She was amused by Logan bragging about getting kicked out of multiple schools. I'll never understand why she actually…

Same with r/askhistorians. Sometimes you don't get any answers, but when you do get answers there is ZERO guessing or assuming involved.

I figured Jesus found the Golden Turd in Boca Raton since that was where the old woman who killed her cop husband wanted to retire to, if they only had the money. So the rapture episode sealed the storyline, except at the end of the episode Stan goes into his own personal heaven which is his normal life, thereby…

The Departed is a hard one to beat for me, but this comes mighty close

As a kid I was always bored by it and thought it was way too depressing for a Christmas movie. As an adult I think it's perfect for the holidays precisely because it's so depressing.

I'm really surprised they didn't massively play up the Jesus angle (it is a Tale of Christ, after all), and release it around Easter or Christmas. At least that way you're guaranteed a solid box office from the Christian moviegoers who will see literally anything so long as it's Jesusy. Instead they're trying to…

I prefer it too, primarily because I think the cast of the 1925 version is much better overall. People bash silent films for their style of acting being over the top, but good lord was the dialogue in the 1959 version as subtle as a sledgehammer. I definitely preferred Novarro over Heston. "Don't pray for death while…

I love those previews. It looks like that dude is in cahoots with the shark.

Heather Graham is definitely no stranger to blowy hair syndrome, since they did that joke on Scrubs with her too ("this is a really windy hospital!")

As someone from Ohio (who constantly forgets the school even needs geographical clarification), my favorite line was when they refer to Harvard as "the Miami University of Ohio of Massachusetts."

Ha, that would be the best. Can't get even a little of the American Dream, not even Classic Coke.

They've done that Planet of the Apes joke like five times now. I guess it's a running joke rather than a simple reference at this point, but jeez. Can't say I was a big fan of this season. Felt like a decent amount of potential that went nowhere.

That scene rang especially true to me considering Oleg's background. Next to William, he knows really damn well the realities of the situation. It's not a big joke to him (like how Tatiana makes light of it) because he sees how serious it is. Particularly after last week when he tells the story of the false alarm…

On the one hand, I was surprised Paige didn't follow that by asking if her dad had killed anyone. On the other hand, I think she doesn't want to think about him doing that (unless it's happening right in front of her and she has to).

I'm so used to playing Where's Hans in the meet-up scenes that for a split second I thought he was the black guy walking past the screen in the foreground of the first Philip/William scene.

At least Paige didn't inadvertently shoplift any cornstarch.

Agreed on the preview. You think I would've learned better after the other week with the Young-Hee storyline. Episode ends with "we'll ask The Centre if they can find another way in." Preview begins with "The Centre couldn't find another way in."

I totally agree with your first point and think that's really insightful, but I disagree with your second one. I felt like Stan was completely genuine in backing off the whole Oleg thing. As he mentions, Amador and Nina and his wife leaving and Gaad all hit him one after the other and really took a toll. He seems…
