I’d argue that Heidi might be one of the most underrated performers on the show. He’s great at those wackadoo Weekend Update characters, and kills it when she needs to be the straight man.

I remember when her mom appeared on a mother’s day ep. Waaaay back in her first season. She looked just like all like the crazy lady characters that Heidi portrays rolled up onto one. 

SNL took a big risk having edgelord comedian Jerry Seinfeld show up. They must have been sweating the entire time worried he’d go full Michael Richards at any second. 

Maybe. Those aren’t “hostages,” but that could be who Youssef’s talking about.

The thousands of Palestinians being held hostage by Israel.

If starting with a Trump cold open feels tired, imagine how most of us feel every fucking day having to see him cold open every bit of news on every media platform.

He may be referring to the thousands of Palestinian civilians, many of them children, that Israel routinely “detains” and has been doing for years. But I suppose that would go against the never ending victimhood of Israel and it’s supporters.

I’ve already watched that cold open ScarJo a couple of times and keep just noticing new things that she’s doing there.

Sarah Sherman sure is a sport.

For the Hooters sketch to function at a higher level, she should have been the waitress who no one wanted for some reason, with Bowen as the favorite.  I also wanted to see the Sydney Sweeney Todd sketch.

Yes, it’s not a JJ show, it’s a Lindelof show, and it was the most frustrating television series I’ve ever seen through to the end.

They either enter the caves and find a swirly portal and creepy witch woman (“she”) or sweet fuck-all, because it now feels like the supernatural stuff is useless window dressing.

Also loved Lorraine’s bit tonight: “This has nothing to do with that book. This is from an older time, written on stone tablets in the age of the skull-fuckers.”

I was thinking people would see the end as too overtly Christian -- eat this round piece of love bread and be forgiven. But that was the point, wasn’t it. Practiced vs performative.

I have seen a lot of people quoting Lorraines line about freedom with no responsibility makes you a baby. Fitting and true.

I liked Dot telling Munch: “That’d be like getting mad at the table you stub your toe on.” Because it was very much a “Munch-ism.” I immediately thought of the line Munch told to Gator earlier in the season about how “you don’t yell at the boulder for being a rock.”

Really Old Sheldon, in which he confronts the horror of a life spent in pursuit of vainglory and hollow awards and meaningless plaudits, because it is all trifling and waste against the vastness of the universe and the cold truths that the Earth will be swallowed up by the sun, and all his achievements ultimately…

This is a few years later than the latest chronological season (Season 3 set in 2016 world I think) and most of the participants in that season are dead (waves hand around in general motion indicating pretty much everyone), in hiding (VM Varga), or not in the area any longer (Gloria Burgle working for DHS).

He can be her new right-hand man (RIP Danish). I want to know who Munch clinks the bottle of orange soda with in the trailer for the finale.

She strikes me as Apolitical. Money is her only concern.
