That's a word I've never heard oft.

I had to look up the name. Up to that point, I thought Joseph Goebbels was the name of the turkey Selina pardoned.

Yep, the Mull bit was just a joke. However, whoah: Gary took the hard drive? I missed that.

I saw the joke coming (still loved it), so my guess is 'scripted'.

I still can't believe how much I've gotten so invested in the show, wishing the characters the best, as well as have Pied Piper succeed spectacularly. There' no life-and-death situations, no big family drama, no traumatic experiences, or many of the other tropes that traditionally get a viewer hooked emotionally.
I…

I was afraid he'd try to do some kind of Edison on that elephant.

I'm very much in agreement with you. 100% agreement, come to think of it, if you include Felix.
It's gotten to the point that when Cosima is yet again about to die, I go do the dishes. Wearing socks, of course.

MIchael Gross. He was a great bad-ass in Tremors.

It's the first I hear of this. Citation, please.
(Though the dude with the tail sure reminded me of Ginger Snaps, my favourite trilogy.)

The only way I can see this to be plausible is if Westmoreland is a mutant human, who has longevity due to cells that don't truncate their teleomeres when replicating. And I don't mean comic-book style 'mutant', rather something more sensible like through lateral gene transfer from a virus.

I suspect it's just something Murray made up in order to justify his involvement. However, I will nevertheless swear to its veracity since demythologizing Bill Murray is a crime against humanity.

I too was surprised that I actually had *feelings* for Erlich and Richard in that scene . And it totally felt earned, as opposed to those feel-good sitcoms like Parks and Rec where the viewer is beaten into submission into loving the characters. My fear now is that SV is tempted to go that route.

I loved Femme Fatale. There, I said it.
And I'll say it again and again.

It was always quite sitcommy to me.
Grasping at straws here: maybe it's less satirical, hence the sitcomminess stands out more?

I've actually have the same problem with Bob's Burgers this year. It appears to be the same, and it's as popular as ever both with audience and critics, so there's no reason why I don't seem to get a kick out of it anymore.
(Incidentally, I *did* have a stroke this year, but I don't think it would affect my enjoyment…

There's already a TV series by that name. With Gwyneth Paltrow and Blythe Danner.

I am not a doctor, but you should seriously consider the possibility that you've had a stroke. Or that you're taping "Fuller House" by accident.

I like it that the episode's official title is actually asterisked.

There's a whole episode right there!
(Good one, RedScarab)

A previous poster on this thread mentioned they'd like to see a cross-over episode of Veep + Silicon Valley. That's a brilliant suggestion! They both inhabit a similar comedic space, and I can see a few plots where the two shows could credibly intersect.
Silicon Veep , please!
