Right? Especially in the last episode, near the end, they reeeeeally throw things off balance.

I kinda wish we would get episode-by-episode coverage on this, because there's a lot to unpack, especially in the back half. Totally came down with the review: The first half is really boring, with just enough momentum to get you through the second half. But the second half, starting around episode six, has enough…

Am I the only one who's kinda put off by the comic book sequences? I feel like they're glaring substitutes for having actually told the story, or for not getting reshoots or something. This episode really bugged me in that way.

Could not disagree more about the finale. That finale alone was so electric that it could have made up for the entire episode, had it been bad, which I don't think it was. For me, it was the premiere, which meandered, and is one of the worst edited things I've seen in recent memory.

I was having a so-so day. This made for some delightful schadenfreude. I mean, B-minus for effort.

I'm guessing they're going with Atlanta, Horace and Pete, and Stranger Things. They meet the threshold of popularity and critical acclaim that I don't know that anyone else here does—save Veep and Lemonade.

Oh no! His head is falling out of his face!!!

"…he realizes he’s speaking in a stereotypical black voice. Catching himself, he apologizes to the crowd for doing a caricature of a Chinese person. None of this quite makes sense…"

The Office (U.S.). For the longest time, it was my favorite show on the air. I still love seasons one through seven. Season eight is so bad. Season nine is a faint return to form, whose final few episodes are exceptional, but ultimately not enough.

Not exaggerating—110% worth the wait. That was a great episode.

Yeah… That part didn't make a lot of sense.

And it's TERRIFIC.

I feel like the reveal of the one-armed killer, missing his left arm, should have come in "Right Hand Man."

100% down to clown.

Roger Ebert also thought John Carpenter's The Thing was trash. So, yeah. His opinion was largely bullshit.

But bought on Bandcamp. ITUNES DOESN'T NEED OUR MONEY!!!

As I said on BMD—it's about SHOOTING THE SHEET.

A Crow Looked at Me deserves a full review. It's the best album of the year by a mile, and Phil Elverum's best in over a decade. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's shambolic perfection.

There's an extended version of the analogy on his law blog.

Fine, but only if there's more yogurt.
