THe goal of the "TV Club 10" has never been to be a list of "10 best episodes," but of "10 episodes that most capture the series as a whole". I think this list does a pretty good job of that.

I only watched the first two seasons of the show regularly, but Shran was one of my favorite parts. Combs was a blast in that role.

Nice deep cut on Illinois politics there.

When it comes to the Emmys, it's best to try focusing on the rare positives that appear. Like Bob's Burgers, Futurama and Archer all making it into Best Animated Program! That's still not too terrible.

They could have made this clearer….

Larry being a piece of shit is mostly related to his plan to steal another writer's story, an idea he considers more brilliant than morally abhorrent.

It's called a typo.

"I have a nephew named Anfernee, and I know how mad he gets when I call him Anthony. Almost as mad as I get when I think about the fact that my sister named him Anfernee."

But that mini-arc was so poorly written. It felt less natural and more like the writers deciding that they would pair the characters up and work backwards from there. The reasoning for Polly's husband running off was especially dumb, and from there everything else from there was horribly, horribly forced - ooh, sexual

And you know what else? Broadway.

Her obsession with anuses is certainly fascinating, at least. "C'mon Chapman, lemme see some pink!"

I was just thinking about this. Kinda like how each season of Lost was suppose to focus on a different aspect of the island, although that plan got somewhat complicated.

Yeah, that was probably the best part of the finale - watching so many different factions finally turn against her, and constantly wondering which group is going to take her down. And then it ends up being Rosa blazing down the road to happiness. So fucking cathartic.

"Would a moon do this?!?!" was the nadir of the season for me, up until maybe the scene where they announce their coupling to Poppy's husband. It was especially awful for coming near the end of one of the season's best episodes (the Valentine's Day episode).

But, wouldn't there have been more emotional impact from not finding out that the two of them are hooking up until Piper does herself? By setting up their pairing so deliberately over the course of the season as if anyone gave a shit, it just didn't have any sort of emotional impact for me outside of irritation that

As they were leaving I was all "no, no, please don't OH GOD COME ON THAT BARELY QUALIFIES AS oh thank jeebus" for the rest of the scene.

Yeah - I watched a version without commercials and it comes out to 65 minutes.
