When it started, I noticed “nudity” in the list of warnings and wondered if they were going to throw random boobs in there for laughs. That didn’t seem like them.  Then I realized what I was in for. Made it even funnier. Dave and Kevin will be sad/happy to know that my wife had to close her eyes and turn away.

The Kids in the Hole.

I’ve only watched the first two episodes so far, but my goodness. Sensational. The episode two sketch about the pregnant couple and their doctor’s “baby droppage average” was amazing. “Standard form, it just says anything I find in there I get to keep.”

It’s just 10 minutes of a guy in a devil suit shagging a jackal.

It’s ridiculous! He’s a Skrull.

Somewhere someone is deepfaking his face onto tom holland’s body for a fake trailer. Or I’ll lose all faith in the internet.

Not a great episode, but it served its purpose of pushing the different story lines forward. Henry Winkler is so good in this role.

this tightrope job this season of doing is just fucking insane. i’m on the edge of my seat, still laughing at every joke, still care about every character (even the psycho killers!), still have no idea what’s going to happen.

One thematic thread that seems to be pulsing under the surface is that both Barry and Sally have been coping with their past trauma by exploiting it to further their acting careers rather than by trying to reckon with it in an honest way. 

What about Hugh Manatee?

Stephen Root’s “Oh hey, Hank” threw me right back into King of the Hill

I groaned and laughed simultaneously when he said “Mr. Manity.”

Hugh Manity?  Good Lord, that show sounds awful.

a personal favourite overlooked joke in the episode was ‘mr manity’ ‘please, call me hugh’. laws of humanity’s main character is literally called hugh manity. props to the writing team with that one

Are we supposed to doubt Earn? My read on the ending was far less cynical than the review’s. And it is in part, because Earn has become a better manager. Here, Al just went on an oddessy where his pixie dream guide had him doubting everything about who he is and what he’s got, and in the end when he projects those…

“he collapses in a doorway, a mirror of the guy in the Goofy hat from the earlier scene”-

you’re doing yourself a disservice by not watching DARK

This wasn’t really like Twin Peaks at all.

I don’t know why this keeps getting compared to “Yellowstone,” a show with zero supernatural or SF elements. I mean, there’s a ranch, a family, and a struggle to obtain/hold on to more land, but it is a really superficial similarity. “Big Sky” might be closer just because that is a little wierd, but it is nothing like…

Shut up and take my bones. And/or my worms.
