Your program sounds way more fun than the 3-day intensive long weekend course I had to attend. They made us write apologies to society — literally, as if society were a person — and read them out loud in front of everyone. They were really lax about searching our belongings, so I was whacked out on Dilaudid for the…

I thought that bit was pretty funny, just because of how silly it was. But Krieger definitely goes to extreme technological lengths to pursue something that could be done much easier in a different way. Like his holo-wife.

A. E. I. O. U.

Beyond the fake out, it's funny because you'd think Cherlene would have desensitized all the nerves in her mouth and throat by now.

The pure structure of this episode was probably one of the best they've done. I'm not on board with people saying this season isn't as good at the others, although I'm still trying to get on the tonal frequency of this season's situational humor myself, but it's clear the show is telling stories as well or better than…

Oh man, I didn't pick up on the "Bananas" reference. Good job.

Aside from the whole coke thing, for some reason, Pam's personality isn't that appealing when it's coming from someone of a build that could appear on a mainstream magazine cover.

Observations

Integrity … Integrity? Hmm … Could you use that in a sentence?

I passed on seeing it in theaters because of the ads, and so must have everyone I know who's into movies, because no one told me that it was actually good. And the funny thing is that I had seen "Pusher" and "Valhalla Rising", and knew who Winding Refn was, but the ads were just so misguided that I didn't pick up that…

Dafoe really scored himself a hottie, too.

We'll never have the magic of John Hamm saying, "Hmmmm. Nope, ah, no-no … Hm … ah, nope … hm-da-dum-da-dum-hum-da-doodle … Oh, here we are. Yes, sir! Ha-haaa! Mingus Dew!"

As long as the show ends with them all entering witness protection, getting face lifts and being relocated to Sealab, I'll die a happy man.

I'll add myself to the ever-increasing and probably obnoxiously repetitive list of people who really hope we get more Pam and Archer episodes. The show had better not blow this opportunity.

They've unlocked a giant, wonderful door into expanding Pam's long list of perversions to include, in increasingly creative and uncomfortable ways, revenge-fucking the kind of people who wouldn't have given her the time of day before she lost weight.

I'm glad you tipped us off for that very reason. Now I know to carry earplugs and a blindfold wherever I go, just in case.

Easy A.

That's actually the strategy that's worked most often for me.

That episode is up there with the one where she wears a skin-tight bodysuit for some reason — maybe motion capture? It doesn't really matter anyway, because it's Kari in a skin-tight bodysuit.

I dunno, it could be a case of HBO making a show that turned out to be wildly more popular than expected, and having to fly with it despite the glaring uncertainty of running into a shortage of source material.
