Now I’m wondering about the Disney adaptations on Broadway. I think I’ve seen four of them now and I’m trying to remember if the playbill gave any "based on" credit to the screenwriters. I think Frozen did. That's a hell of a contract loophole.

Yeah, he reminded me so much of Hot Mailman that I wondered for a second if he was also a trick of some kind, though apparently not (the montage shot of him reading the self help book was funny).  

Simone really has been a wonderful addition. Smart, funny, kind but not a pushover. They so easily could have made her a one note character. 

Honestly, what surprised me on rewatching the whole American Office is how sympathetic Jim is supposed to be. He's such a snide, condescending jerk half the time and treats half of his coworkers with open contempt. 

I am so confused about the timeline here. Weren’t Murder House and Coven supposed to take place in the present day? Isn’t Apocalypse taking place starting in 2020? How old is Michael? How long were Misty and the rest dead?  

Got flashes of Ted becoming a professor because How I Met Your Mother had run out of ideas for him. I agree that Ty Burrell is the most consistently enjoyable of the cast these days but he can only do so much.

“I was distracted by the shiny shirt." Please don't ever vote on anything, Charlie.

He's going to have to work hard to compete with my first childhood crush, Ricardo Montalban (I make no apologies- that dude was smooth, much like fellow crush Billy Dee Williams).

Castellaneta's Homer-doing-Burton was pretty funny. The digging the swimming pool scene felt pretty pointless. Writers, nobody would have cared if the Patty and Selma babysitting thing didn't really pay off.

It might have seemed odd to see the TARDIS there, given its conspicuous absence in the rest of the story.

True, though Nyssa gets a weirdly muddled introduction as a character who seems like a one off character just for that story and pops back in again for the next story without much explanation.

There really were a LOT of commercials and I continue to hate their mid-commercial break "this scene will be on in five minutes' bits.

Liked Whittaker a lot. So far reminds me strongly of Tennant but less manic than Tennant could go sometimes, with a bit of Davison’s team building energy. Liked the new companions. The story was pretty boring, just another alien hunter on Earth plot.

The TARDIS realized the Doctor was trying so hard for a cool exit line/catchphrase that it just let him have it.

I enjoy the Adam and Them stuff a lot. It's the Witchfinder Army stuff I tend to skim on rereading.

Chidi pointing out that Michael's librarian shouldn't know what's going on enough to give him advice made me laugh but it also felt like a moment that might later pay off.

Look, sometimes you finish your book a little early and none of the in-flight movies look interesting and you see something vaguely promising while flipping to the back to see the terminal map.  “Kevin Costner talking about his ranch in Wyoming . . . that’ll kill five minutes.”

None of them knowing why the party was happening was funny.  I’ve been to that family party.  Phil and Jay playing Mean Girls against each other was kind of funny.  The Manny plot was just dumb.  Apparently Alex still has the hot firefighter boyfriend, though.  Good for her.  This show never lets her be happy.  

The best part is where “Barrymore” compares raising her children to raising a plant which will give her “ripe delicious fruits after a few years.” It’s a very strange interview, which not only seems badly translated but seems closer to an SNL sketch of Barrymore than an actual person.

Throw away your Blockbuster card and let's see what happens.
