Tears for Fears's "Head Over Heels" in Donnie Darko—I can never hear that song without thinking about that awesome sped-up/slowed-down montage.

I'd have to watch it again (it's been since the season debuted that I've seen it), but I did not get that its sole (or even main) target was the handwringing over the lyrics.

Surely, good person, it is more of a 10.6.

There's an element of that in the episode, although (and I know I sound like I'm arguing with myself here) I think making Sextina's song as ridiculous as it is makes the pro-choice side seem pretty crazy, too. It does assume a particular political leaning for its audience, though, and I do think that tips it toward…

I don't know if I found it all that clever, although I acknowledge that all the elements you're bringing up exist in the episode. I still think it's just not all that interesting or controversial that it points out the ridiculousness of the media storm surrounding abortion by turning it up to 11.

I can see that, but I guess I'd read it (in specifically the case of Jane the Virgin—and maybe Juno, I dunno [it does go out of its way to make that abortion clinic creepy]) as the show not saying that having a baby is the right choice, but having the baby, as in this specific child for this specific character, is the…

Yeah. It's definitely the brashest treatment of the topic I've seen, and that's notable, although I still don't think that actually makes what it says any bolder, not when it's airing on Netflix and pretty much assuming a pro-choice audience. There's a hypothetical risk to doing an episode like this, but not with the…

Definitely. It's just being pitched as "bold" by reviewers. It's great if people find that the episode resonates with their experiences. I just don't think it's "challenging" anybody by doing that. But I'm glad it validated your experiences. That's awesome.

I do think it's been a while since I've seen any pop culture take an explicitly pro-life stance (outside of faith-based films, I guess). I don't get not seeing that conflict in the news, though.

I agree with whomever it was who said this episode felt self-congratulatory, although I suppose your take on it depends on who you think is watching the show. To me it felt like preaching to the converted regarding the ridiculousness of the media frenzy surrounding abortion, and the episode mistakes being ridiculous…

Anyone else find that moment when BoJack realizes he can swim to have echoes of the bird suicide attempt? A character getting so bogged down with the here and now that he forgets that he actually has this amazing capacity for freedom?

Nobody's breathed a word of Celebrity yet? That's definitely Allen's worst for me.

And that naked fast guy, too!

I used to like making the cars with machine guns on Age of Empires II, but after a while, that kind of breaks the game.

Yeah, but Season 7 is definitely the nadir of Scrubs. The eighth season is a lot better! (Now that ninth season… yeah, skip that)

Fuuuuck, man, that fucking barrel. I thought for sure it was a glitch for so long—as if maybe it wasn't supposed to go there, and SEGA just hadn't play-tested the game enough. Even as a kid, I had a cynically low impression of SEGA.

Chris is really the worst. He's basically just a walking plot device to stir up conflict whenever Lorelei's relationships are getting too stable.

Yeah, I'm not going to argue that there hasn't been stagnation at certain points in the series (the releases following Wind Waker all the way through the Wii/DS era definitely show the series in a mostly repetitive rut), but the last few Zelda releases do seem to genuinely be trying to innovate the design, albeit with…

That Morph Ball log is one of my favorite parts of the series. I laughed out loud when I first read it, which is probably the only time I've laughed out loud in the Metroid series.

I mean, sort of, if you don't count oddities like Link's Awakening and Majora's Mask. But even with the more traditional stories, I like the idea that the series is playing around with archetypes and the idea of legend, where it feels like each game is a recontextualized version of the same basic tropes—almost like a…
