"He seems surprisingly put off that she went through with that…or was that just me?"- is it the murder, or is it the fact that she's getting messages he doesn't remember sending? Because there are only two ways that can go, he has severe memory issues or she's insane.

What about a deaf woman who's bad at reading lips?

She clearly wants the show to be somewhere, or possibly something, else, and is constantly frustrated that it's not. It's mystifying.

" Cutting from James’ drunken rage as Winter approaches to him awakening near her corpse, its heart cut out, the scene is constructed to implicate James in the girl’s murder. The blatant misdirection is insulting, and so is the sudden dispatch of a blameless character. "- blatant misdirection? Why would we assume he…

I'm confused by your first paragraph. You're saying that putting out Pac-Man would have ruined Al's career and made him a one-hit wonder? I don't see the reasoning.

But we saw that she replaced the doors with solid wall in that hallway.

"That whole table scene with the cans just yelled Scientology but it seemed to sort of pull back from that the rest of the episode."

I'd say there's some flat out matter manipulation/ reality warping, based on what Syd did in his body with the doors.

You count Crazy Ex Girlfriend but not You're The Worst? Other than an episode or two per season, I'd say You're The Worst definitely fits into TV comedy more than CEG.

Maybe the talent's being drained. There are a lot of fancier, somewhat subdued comedies coming out, a lot of top-notch sitcoms, maybe the best writers just aren't going to something like Fist Fight.

Maybe if we'd actually seen some of the routine in front of the old women it could have fleshed itself out a bit, no pun intended.

I mean, she's the only Reynolds who probably hasn't killed someone, this is a good first step down that path.

I can buy Charlie being fooled.

I think it's a somewhat weak episode, and it doesn't all fit together as well as it could, but it has too many laughs to get below a B-.

"we can move on from dancing around (no pun intended) his sexual orientation."- we weren't really dancing around it before, he was 100% closeted gay.

"Mac’s sexuality, memorably confronted last week, is left hanging (so to speak), as we’re back to jokes about Mac making inadvertent double entendre (it really does look like he’s blowing that kid). "- between Dennis and not-a-soldier's stripping, I think it was made pretty clear he's still out of the closet.

"But every step of the way, Gottwald and his team have made a point to specifically refute every single one of Kesha’s claims as publicly as possible, making him look like the kid on the playground who shouts “nu-uh!” every time another kid says he threw rocks at them"- I'm not on his side, but what do you expect him…

If anything, 17% of the total for a group that's 12% of the nation means that black people are, statistically, over-represented.

I think it'll probably be worse, honestly. The Room has an earnest charm to it. It's terrible, but terrible in a way that inspires film fests, books, video games, and so on. People care about the Room. How much of that will probably be true for the Disaster Artist?

The Disaster Artist really does seem like a nearly impossible book to adapt to film, and they went with Franco of all people? Mystifying.
