Tonight we had the potential for an unprecedented "Quadfecta of Condescension" as Kellyn, Ryan and Ryan's girlfriend all received "Good for you"s. Sadly, Seth's riveting tricycle yarn got a pass.

This episode was a microcosm for the series as a whole: absolutely brilliant at creating atmosphere with cinematography, production design and acting, but woefully disappointing w/r/t story (hitting the same requisite Fight Club beats but adding enough philosophy and ambiguity to make it seem more profound).

"Career government employee" Sharren had no idea what field she worked in. She was clearly a contract killer who blanked on her cover story.

Trebek's condescension evolved in this game. After Seth correctly answered DD1, he was greeted with a "Good for you." True Daily Doubles interest Alex as much as dull anecdotes.

The exact purpose of growing a beard that size is to cover up that mole.

We're in Narnia!

We'll find out when Jimmy Smits shows up for the Cane crossover.

He was adickable.

Are they at least repurposing Bull Dempsey's entrance music as the theme?

It was only a $400 clue, but "Man with the nickname "Bugs" was the inspiration for this carrot loving character" sounds like a gag pitched in the SNL writers' room.

Now that the Los Angeles market has finally caught up to real time, I can at last return to the Jeopardy recap thread. How I have missed this. While I missed out on commenting on how Louis CK gave a video clue to his looper, can't wait for the rest of this season.

This episode was good, I'll certainly watch next week, but definitely did not deserve an "A" right out of the gate. The short run time of the webseries always left me wanting more, but it seemed as though the creative team didn't know how to handle the extra time allotted on HBO. Both segments tended to wallow a bit…

Showtime just didn't understand that it was all about the music, man.

"Sorry to pull you out of your dance class. What? The recital was today???"

The three most important additions to the show:
1) Winston
2) True American
3) FURGUSON

FIRE JOST!

Great job, Internet!

Tugg Romney 2016: Let's get this country back to work!

I read the book last month (a very light page turner) and the novel had the same problem re: mixing genres. Alongside the medical thriller were chapters taking place in Louis' coma dreamscape ala The Lovely Bones or What Dreams Will Come. Much like this review says of the film, there was nothing jarring about these…

Turns out that Edgar served in Iraq with Killshot.
