I wasn't crazy about Tina Fey's cameo last season, mainly because it felt a little overly cartoony, and making the prosecutors inept really undercut the apparent point of the episode — that the reverend wasn't simply delusional, he had a legitimately scary knack for manipulation and charisma. (That plot point vividly

If this brand of insanity works for you, definitely do. It really hits its stride after season one.

The demented Disney princess fantasy meltdown was fucking amazing. Particularly since this show uses its Netflix carte blanche so sparingly, it came out of nowhere and shocks the viewer as much as Kimmy.

I've thought for a long time that Paula not only represents viewers, but specifically the shipper type of fan. She doesn't really care about Rebecca getting healthy, or doing the right thing, because she's laser focused on this one particular romance. I particularly see it in her low regard for Greg — who she doesn't

Father Brah has slowly become one of my favorites. Everything about that checkers scene was gold, from his understated, pained little, "They do…" to his matter-of-fact advice. This show definitely takes place in a slightly surreal universe, but it still manages to get more real about things than most shows in its

I took it more like an insinuation that she was a high school dropout. In some states you can get your GED at sixteen, and a lot of smart slacker types opt to go that route, thinking it will give them a jump start on their degree. The ones I've known almost always end up just like Heather — still not challenged by

Oh man, same here. I read the book when I was thirteen and love, love, loved it, but I logically know it's a horrible pile of racism in many ways. There's some fascinating feminist stuff going on in it, though. Scarlett's constant internal struggle of wanting to be the soft, delicate lady she was socialized to be, and

Liv also checked out another girl at the frat party after eating dudebro brains. The girl walks by (I think it's right after the beer pong) and she rubbernecks to look at her caboose. It cracked me up.

I'm confused about this, too. I initially assumed there was some kind of licensing issue preventing them from saying "Superman," since they were so careful to avoid it in the pilot. I find the constant references to "my cousin" and "my friend in blue" so distracting that it pulls me out of the show.

As soon as this episode ended, I turned to my viewing partner and said, "Welp, Blaine is officially Logan Echolls." Rob Thomas is masterful with that poor little rich boy trope. No matter how despicable they are initially, you eventually develop a grudging sympathy. I might have to bounce if he and Liv hook up, though.

I'm actually surprised Liv hasn't come up with an excuse for her personality fluctuations that ties into her supposed psychic powers. Something as simple as "To focus my visions, I try to look at the world through their eyes," would probably smooth over any suspicions, especially since it usually manifests as her

It's actually interesting in light of how much this show discusses incest. Off the top of my head, there's Annalise's assault by her uncle, her taunts to her sister-in-law ("incest is best, put your brother to the test"), Asher's subsequent musings about his attractive cousin, Bonnie's assault from her father, the

It's a particularly strange choice in light of Brienne. It was a real turning point for his character when he saved her from gang rape — it looked like the understanding and empathy between them had given him a more compassionate attitude than most men in Westeros. It's disappointing to see that throw under the bus
