Yeah, I'm way behind on OITNB but it's one of the least white Prestige TV shows around and its ensemble is incredible, so as sympathetic as I am to these concerns, applying it to one of the more diverse shows around is pretty confusing to me.

I'd say maybe reading the review once could perhaps prove more effective than skimming twice. But as for the C+, that's a mixed review. A lot of readers do seem to think anything below a B/B+ is pretty dire, but trust me, I see plenty of movies I'd give a C- or a D, so a C+ for an episode of TV is just "this isn't…

I didn't think I had any reading comprehension issues at all until I read your comments about it and could not figure out what in holy hell you're on about. So give it to me in about a 75 on the Flesch-Kincaid and maybe I'll understand better.

If I recall correctly, in this case it's not referring to entertainment, which helps, and as someone who also finds that construction pretty tired, I enjoyed the rejoinder, which helps more.

So you mean like, the best dancer in indie comedies?!?

WE GOT LEGLESS DOGS HERE

You're right about my skin. This pierced it, big time. It's going to take a LOT of lunches and smooching before I learn to love again. But thank you for your advice.

Your knowledge of a writer's life, and the infinite lunches and smooching it entails, is peerless.

She says the c-word a lot in this special for someone who has capitulated to censorship.

Anything to keep me from getting into a van filled with cheese sandwiches!

This was a hard one, though, because I didn't receive so much as a press release from Netflix about this special, so I was forced to guess about what they would have wanted me to parrot in the review. It was exhausting, and while I considered simply watching the special and giving my opinion on it, ultimately I…

I wish they had hired the guy who did the posters for this movie — a little rough around the edges, but really breathtaking. https://twitter.com/rockmar…

Touche! But as the resident Sandlerologist around here, I can say, as limited as he was, he had a persona and a clear sensibility on the show (even if a lot of people hated it). I don't know what MV's sensibility is. Maybe that's not a fair thing to be asking for after a single featured-player season, but I do feel…

That sketch felt to me like, OK, we can make her happen if we do this sketch that shows off her impressions, and mostly it just showed off how few sketches you can plug her into and get a good result.

As much as Johnson makes the best uncouth dude in that sketch, YES, Gemma is the one who holds it together. I love the previous iteration's bit about her doing a GPS voice.

I'm personally enjoying the early phase of my daughter's media exposure where she pretty much just watches Sesame Street.

They made it into a CUTE joke. And gave Trump himself the last word. I'm a huge fan of the show and understand that some viewers have unrealistic expectations of how vicious, cutting-edge, or revolutionary it will be. But that was one of the most dispiriting SNL sketches I've seen in recent years.

Update wasn't completely declawed in that episode, but one of the big lead-off first-half-hour sketches of the night featured Trump, post-election, with all of his campaign promises having come true. It was mildly sarcastic because it was supposed to be absurd, but it didn't read as especially satirical or cutting, or…

Did the writers give her one facial expression and one weird non-impression voice?
