"'The Gift' wraps"? I see what you did there. That's why they pay you the big Internet-TV-Review-Money.

Diedrich Bader/Brave and the Bold shout out; I can't tell if I'm in the minority for getting that, or if this show is basically marketed directly at other 30-year-old-avid-cartoon-watchers.

OK, full disclosure, I say I'm not usually one to nit-pic, but the comment I made that shows up in my inbox immediately after this one begins "Actually, the Principality of Liechtenstein…"

I don't know if I would've been happy or sad to see Marcelline still alive after another thousand years.

That reveal of the Batcave would've been a lot more exciting if it hadn't been repeatedly played up in promos.

The misdirect worked, I'll give it that.

For someone characteristically inexpressive, Rosa actually had a lot of great looks this episode. Her "I don't ask people out; I just tell them where to be" is solid, too.

Just when might start to wonder why Varys continues to think so highly of Tyrion, we get a reminder of what he can do: first he annoys his captor into loosening his gag, and once he can talk, he can do anything. He figures out who his captor, someone obscure he's never met, is, AND what's happened to him. In a couple

It's almost like art, like life, is complicated, and resists our attempts to squeeze it in to categories of good and bad.

Depends on your value of sympathetic. Tuco is a brutal thug, but he's funny, and he's the perspective character, he's the one given a backstory, and it's hard not to root for him.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is one of the greatest films ever made. Great cinematography, great score, unblinking portrait of greed and betrayal amid apocalyptic warfare; Tuco is an amazing character; there are about 100 lines of dialog in the whole film, and about 100 of them are some of the most quotable lines

Strengths of Adventure Time as typified by this episode: A) Original storytelling. I don't know about the rest of you, but in this, and many other episodes, I literally had no idea where the story was going to go. You could also call that lacking a compelling narrative, and I guess the difference is whether or not you

"I already have one of those!"

I'm usually not one to nit-pic, but this could really stand to have been proofread. I completely understand if saying that goes over like a bad fart.

1) There's a certain Poochieness about Jamie in this episode that's actually kind of endearing.

This show takes a lot of crap for, y'know, all the stuff that's bad about it. But after finishing Daredevil, it really is hard to watch. Having seen a vastly superior exploration of entrenched corruption in a superhero universe, it's that much harder to excuse awkward characterization and pointless, irrelevant

For certain small values of "famously", clearly. #NoRegrets

Possibly; either way it's a super narrow timeframe to complete law school, pass the bar, join a law firm, grow disillusioned with how said firm does business, quit, and start their own practice.

Really? Why?

According to the admissions website, the flashback scenes to freshman year take place in 2010. #GodAmIOld
