There's a thin line between "overstuffed" and "rapid-fire". I felt this episode leaned more toward "rapid-fire". It was a plot/dialogue orgy and I enjoyed it immensely. Taking Selina and the gang out of the confines of the Whilte House and/or the Veep's office was a scary premise. But it opened up so many…

I'm with Walter. I don't think she truly knows yet and I think they're will be a pivotal reveal.

One of my favorite lines from last season was "And what part of Ohio are you from, Laurrrrra???"

It's interesting that you say that because I didn't buy it in the "Congressional Ball" episode, but this one seemed more convincing.

I caught it the 2nd time I viewed it. I always have to go back for at least one additional viewing to catch all of the rapid fire dialogue.

In my opinion, they shouldn't take issue with either. All topics should be on the table for comedy. But to your point, the transgender references made by Mike weren't really all that mean spirited so I don't know why it was an issue for the writer.

She made some comment about their baby being an "artisan chocolate bar", but that could be anything.

Anna Chlumsky had a baby right just as they started filming this season, so she was basically caring for a newborn while working. I imagine they toned down her role a bit to adjust for that.

Someone tell me if I missed it, but does Selina know that Richard Splett is the father of her grandchild? I don't remember it being explicitly stated.

Disagree. I can think of several times in the show's history where she was just as abusive, dismissive or just plain cruel to Gary. One of the classic episodes was when he overspent on the Israel state dinner and she cornered him in a room and absolutely humiliated him. It was an absolute display of cruelty.

That's what's so great about this show, though. They plant seeds that spring up much later. It may appear Sue is in the periphery for now, but knowing this show, she'll pop up in an important place later. Much like Catherine in the background videotaping her mother last season. It just seemed like a side gag excuse to…

Loved it! Although I was really hoping she wouldn't give her Dad the money since she appeared very aware he was up to no good.

I saw that floated around on Reddit and a gossip blog, but can't find any solid article that confirms this. I do hope that she's okay either way.

5 episodes in and I've read all of the A.V. Club reviews and every comment from the readers and not one person has asked "Where is Sue"? I know she was working for Montez in last year's finale and she's still credited as a cast member, but not one scene or a word of dialogue. I'm expecting her to turn up in some…

Taking this show in so many unexpected directions has kept it fresh and entertaining. And I love the little curve balls, like Catherine's own therapist essentially reacting to her like Selina would, telling her she's sick of her complaining and criticizing her appearance. I burst out laughing!

LILY??????

When did I even imply that? The article implies that white liberals never had to fight for a cause with sacrifice. White liberals fought for WOMEN'S rights. I didn't say WHITE women's rights. They fought for all women. White liberals fought for gay rights. I didn't say white gay rights. They fought for ALL gay rights.…

Excellent review and show. But I have to take exception with one comment: "White liberals need to learn a lesson that came with a personal cost." Women's rights came with a personal cost: Arrests, beatings, abuse, back-alley abortions and stigmatizing. Gay right's came with a personal cost: Bullying, violence, the…

What I've always loved about this show is that the writers keep taking it in directions that surprise the viewer and betray expectations. But I almost feel like they took it too far with this plot line. Given their near-perfect track record for the last 5 seasons, I trust they've got plenty up their sleeve. As they've…

As each season passes, I am blown away by what seems like an ever widening acting ranging by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. She can move back and forth between brilliant comedic and incredibly touching nuances in one scene, or even one line. Her body language and facial expressions when she described her mother's advice on…
