I think we're vastly underestimating both the percentage of SNL's fans who are black and the percentage of Katt Williams' fans who are white.

Leslie Jones has made me laugh more in a few episodes this year than any of last year's featured players did all last season (save the Mooney/Bennett combo). She messed up in a sketch that nobody was going to enjoy anyway. We should cut her some slack.

Prince is generally too cool for most things and I think you need to be more sensitive to how hard that makes it to live his life.

Back when Fred Armisen was still the show's Obama impersonator they did a sketch where Obama was dropped into The Cosby Show, which involved Armisen doing an impression of Obama impersonating Cosby. It was hilarious and probably the only great Obama sketch SNL has ever done.

Being flat and free of affect is in itself something to work with. That's the entire basis of the Key & Peele Obama Rage Translator sketches right there.

I think that's a fair point, it can be easy for me to forget that other people don't live on Twitter like I do. Though I think enough people saw it coming that the twist still needed a bit more finesse. Even for those who don't scramble to the AV Club recap after each episode, I think the Law of Economy of Characters…

Also despite all his faults I think it's pretty clear that Eli was a very loving father to his 847 kids.

I suppose it's not the biggest stretch of the imagination that Tommy wound up troubled. Just consider all of the horrible stuff the kid went through before he was even doing multiplication tables - both of his parents were murdered, he got shuffled off into the care of his unstable grandmother, lived in a whorehouse,…

There are worse scenes to be reminded of. Tony's visit to Uncle Jr. in the Sopranos finale actually might be one of my favorite scenes in that entire series. It's such a heartbreaking moment but it's the perfect end note to that relationship.

Exactly - if they were going to keep Narcisse around, the Hoover informant plot seemed much more interesting than him just serving as an obstacle for Luciano to knock over.

The Capone story line has been my favorite part of the season by far, so it wasn't too much of a surprise that I thought Al got the best conclusion.

Honestly, as much as I loved both of those characters I think season 5 would have been better off without them. I don't think their limited appearances added anything to those characters or the greater story as a whole, but it did take time away from characters like Lansky and Luciano who really needed more time for…

I really feel the entire handling of that reveal, and for the most part the whole character, was botched. I really have to disagree with Genevieve's description of that twist as "gasp-worthy" considering how many people predicted exactly what would happen - it's even been mentioned in previous AV Club episode reviews…

Let us all pour one out for Dr. Narcisse, the smallest of afterthoughts in this finale. If this was all his story was going to amount to this season, I don't really even know why Jeffrey Wright was invited back at all. His presence served no purpose and wasting an actor like Wright should really be a crime.

Hell, if they'd asked I bet they probably could have gotten Drew to show up.

I think most of them still land. I'm in my mid 20s and The Mask and Dumb & Dumber were on all the time when I was growing up. For a lot of people aged 20 to 25 now, Jim Carrey was one of the first superstar comedians they were ever introduced to.

We are left to imagine an alternate universe where Fox never picked up John Mulaney's sitcom and the Update chair was given to him instead of Jost.

Yeah, that scene where Nucky tells (the presumed) Tommy Darmody that Mickey and Archie aren't ever coming back, he does seem genuinely sad that his formerly treacherous business partner is dead. That's probably more surprising than Mickey surviving to the end of the series would have been.

Stephen Graham's Capone also deserves a nomination, though I think he gets a lot more help from the writing than Piazza or Zegen do.

Michael Zegen needs to get some credit for the work he's done as Siegel this season. His performance has remained tonally consistent with prior seasons, but he's replaced just enough of the character's previous bluster with properly earned confidence to make him seem like he's convincingly gone through seven years of…
