Oof, yeah. I love season three—"Remedial Chaos Theory," "Urban Matrimony and Sandwich Arts," "Origins of Vampire Mythology," and "Introduction to Finality" are some of my favorite episodes of the show. But then something like "The First Chang Dynasty," or "Contemporary Impressionists"? Not great, show. Not great.

I think I like other seasons a little better, but in terms of consistency, without a doubt it's the show's strongest run of episodes.

Yeah. This, in my mind, is easily one of the five best episodes the show has made so far. There's not a beat that doesn't work for me, that doesn't feel out of place. In fact, this has the benefit of using character history for complicated stories, like the therapy session, which couldn't happen in season one. And

I think it's learning more into Community's second and third seasons, which used homage as a way of exploring some deeper emotional conflict—hence why this episode and last week's episode is about Rick and the kids throwing themselves into hyper-violent, convoluted, insane adventures, as a way of distracting

…You just got a Die Hard/Oldboy/The Raid: Redemption homage like nothing else. Is one thirty second monologue really not earned at all?

Die Hard is Dan Harmon's favorite movie—which is why the "Modern Warfare" episode of Community leans so shamelessly into it, just like this episode. Even when they call it out, Harmon and Roiland just have to kneel at its altar.

Anyone else think that car ride at the end was out of a fucking horror movie? What a way to turn what would normally be something tender and moving into one of the most chilling character moments of any sitcom. It's one thing when the Paddy's Pub gang brings innocent bystanders into their fucked up orbit, but when

The Stark reunion doesn't work, because even when they were together, they barely had any stories with each other. Bran had no stories with anyone. Arya and Sansa don't even interact that much outside of the second episode of the whole show. Intellectually, because they're siblings, I get that their reunion should be

Androgynous!!!

Are you just trying to present your own statements as ancient wisdom?

Saw this when I went to see Last Will and Testimeow: Weekend at Dead Cat Lady's House 2.

Oh my goodness. White walker eyes are all Dr. Manhattan penises.

The first episode of the season to be even close to an all-timer, and the first battle scene of the series that was truly, completely unpredictable.

*Kid A

Which also means they're tied for first place. So, congratulations to Pink Floyd's discography!!

If you want to understand the appeal of "Wish You Were Here," just watch the scene in Boyhood, where Patricia Arquette's hipster student poorly pays the song at a party, and everyone unironically joins in. As someone who is a massive Pink Floyd fan—and who loves Boyhood—I can't help but cringe a little at those

To be fair, it is the best song on the album.

I feel like this dude really doesn't like Pink Floyd, because even when he gets up to the 40s and 30s, he seems incredibly critical.

Love both Gibbard and Teenage Fanclub. Hearing his version of Bandwagonesque is a real treat.

Here's a rough joke: You don't need to be a Dark Tower truther to believe this film crumbles in on itself.
