What actually happened? That's the important question. If he touched her inappropriately *at all* without consent then all this outrage is justified. Any kind of sexual contact without consent is a crime whether you're filming a rape scene or not.

I loved how Chuck was revealed to be the villain at the end of last season, and I was furious with him for smothering Jimmy's career. Now this season has actually shown that he was right, and I've started to hate Jimmy for sabotaging every opportunity he's been given. Chuck was absolutely correct; Jimmy doesn't care

Sentences for vehicular manslaughter are pretty lenient, considering the consequences of the offence. In the UK about a third of 'Death by dangerous driving' convicts avoid jail time. If Chip was handed the most serious conviction he'd be looking at 7-14 years, and almost certainly the lower end of the scale. If he

Middle-aged sadsacks with nothing going for them who are inexplicably attractive to gorgeous women ten years younger than them. The way they think/talk about women is skeevy as hell, and Arnett already has a natural 'creepy uncle' vibe about him. This show feels really tired and self-indulgent. Worse, it's not very

Jay Pharoah's impressions are amazing, which makes me wonder just how bad he is at writing sketches or even basic joke/character ideas. He's been treading water for 5 years and the only recurring sketch I can remember is the 'Attention teachers and students' one that seems to have been dropped.

I didn't buy that meltdown in the writer's room. They foreshadowed it with Kevin telling Gus to pitch ideas and not just lock up in the writer's room, but then went WAY too far in the opposite direction. Gus pretty much never asserts himself and has no self-confidence, but he's suddenly wrestling with the woman taking

I'm as leftwing pinko liberal as they come, believe it or not. If she is amazing in the writer's room, it explains why they keep her on staff (merit). But she's terrible on screen, so there has to be some reason why they want her there. SNL deservedly took a lot of flak for the homogeneity of the cast, but the answer

SNL reviewers still liking Jones because she's "a six foot tall, middle-aged, funny black woman." We get it, you want to be progressive, you want SNL to be more diverse and showcase people who aren't nerdy white Ivy Leaguers. The rest of us do, too! I really wanted Jones to be great. I thought she had a great energy

All the movies he writes are shitty, though. you can't give him 'funny credit' for that.

Is Coop's outfit a reference to a specific musician or celebrity from the 80s? I kept thinking that they were building this joke item by item throughout the series, and when he was 'complete' he would be recognisable as a famous person. But we got to the end, hair, hat, choker, shirt, waistcoat, earring, and I didn't

No, and that woman is probably 30 years younger than White, and looks nothing like her.

Forrest is so awful! He only felt bad right at the end when he was embarrassed for himself. He'll quite happily inflict any amount of horror and shame on others with a smile, though, all in the name of the show.

They should have 'shopped these characters into 'realistic' body types for the activities that the characters undertake, not the average American woman. The fighters should look like MMA fighters (Ronda Rousey maybe), Lara Croft should look like an athlete or a gymnast, and so on.

This was crap, honestly. It survived on good will from the first few suspenseful and mysterious episodes. Everything from the reveal of the Abbies onwards could have been in any of the terrible sci-fi shows that run for one season and disappear.

Yeah. I can't believe anyone is defending him, honestly. He's doing a mixture of 'pained constipation face' and 'squinting to keep the sun out of eyes face'. I guess these Kitschers are all FNL fans.

But the Nazi characters say 'dive' to each other in German and the dive alarm goes off. It definitely submerges.

I don't think (or want) it to be a VR simulation. I just want there to be *something* better than this egregiously stupid writing, or I'm going to feel like a real idiot for believing in this show.

"This really only makes sense if the outside apocalypse is in fact a cover for what is really going on. Like it would make sense if this is some kind of virtual reality simulator."

John Clare really can't get a break. "i think you're a really great guy and everything, but there's this… shroud… of pain. It's around me, and, uh, it's bad. I won't let it hurt you. Seeya!'
Not that I feel much sympathy for him, he was a bit of a creeper and I haven't forgotten him murdering innocents last season.
