"Wait, why do you have her playing with her hair?"

As a big LCD Soundsystem fan, I've been thinking a lot about this today. Probably overthinking it. But here's my take:

Check out Rob's face after she delivers this line. He wasn't buying it.

My assumption was that the fight was about Rob wanting to keep partying the night before their big interview (cracking open the Scotch), and Lexi wanting to call it a night. So a distillation of what seemed to be a simmering tension between them the whole episode.

Hey, I thought this was good and pretty interesting! I had never thought of how TV may be better structured as a medium to accurately portray depression. Great insight.

Yes, it's easy to be mad at Jimmy, certainly frustrated, but I still don't see him as a full-fledged asshole. Just completely oblivious. You want to smack him for not seeing the signs or realizing how to act, but he genuinely doesn't see how.

Your comment makes me think of another brilliant aspect of that scene. It's brutal because Gretchen realizes that Rob has the same doubts and fears that she has. But also, Rob misinterprets Gretchen /the exact same way she misinterprets him/. That is, he assumes that Gretchen and Jimmy are living the ideal life…

I was thinking the same thing. This show emotionally affects me more than anything I've seen in a long time, maybe ever.

This got the biggest laugh from me. The utter sincerity from Edgar when he repeats, "The jizz in my /heart/, Jimmy."

Some of my favorite moments in the show's run is when he alllllllmost breaks character at something truly ridiculous and unexpected. He struggles so hard to contain his disbelief at the gas station owner's promotion of drinking his grandchild's urine.

The expectant pause after he informs the Elizabeth Albert lady that he doesn't have a girlfriend currently - and her 'please proceed' reaction - had me cracking up.

Yup, she really nailed it in that counter scene.

I do think they hinted at it though - Lindsey asks if it will be "like sophomore year where you wore the same Hoobastank shirt three weeks in a row and only ate Special K raspberries." It's a funny image and it's meant to be (it is a comedy after all), but it also describes the kind of debilitating immobilization you…

I like your reading of the "beyond-my-control wiring issues" line. At the time I thought it was just a reference to her burning down her old apartment, but I do think it's also the character subconsciously stating how she thinks of her depression. Brilliant writing.

I prefer the movie adaptation with alien invasion tomato monster Mexican armada brothers who are just regular brothers running in a van from an asteroid and all sorts of things.

"I love to racism, bro!"

Eh…I think it is/will be pretty clear from the tape that it was self-defense.

This is a good review, but I do take exception with calling Forrest's murder charge 'rational, ironclad, entirely correct.' The joke is that Forrest actually /is/ innocent. For all the terrible, terrible things the show has made him do, Forrest is not a monster. He really did kill that man out of self-defense - not…

The end of episode 1 cracked me up. "Well, I voted for the appeal, and we lost. They can't hold that against me, right?"

"On one hand, he may be genuinely pouring his heart out, taking the advice Gideon gave him, and finally opening up the way Krista always thought she wanted him to. On the other hand, he may be pouring his heart out, but as an act of aggression, lashing out at a person who thinks she wants to know the extent of his…
