Could be. By "first" I just meant "before".

Both of the recurring sketches Affleck was in were ones that Ryan Gosling did first. Is there something we should be reading into that?

Five episodes info this series I remembered that I'd forgotten my Flashforward Rule against watching / getting invested in any new broadcast network sci-fi show until it's been picked up for a second season.

I guess this episode is the closest we'll ever get to seeing that Mission Control sitcom that would have starred Krysten Ritter, Malcolm Barrett and Jonathan Slavin as NASA employees in the 60s. They could have at least squeezed (squoze?) Slavin in as the sexist coffee guy.

So in the new timeline, the famous Apollo 11 quote is "WTF, where have you guys been?!"

Flynn's mother leaving the States to work overseas seems more in character with a single woman who lost a child than a single mom raising one. With a kid to uproot instead of just painful memories to leave behind, I would expect she never leaves, never meets Daddy Flynn, never has Garcia.

Yet he seemed surprised that the plot to strand Team Lifeboat in the 1700s failed. "Oh… I guess that explains how Lucy was able to keep writing journal entries. DUH "

I'm sure Dowd is anaspeptic, phrasmotic, even compunctious to have
caused us such pericombobulation.

"All civilisation was just an effort to impress the opposite sex. And sometimes the same sex."

And the DOE (either / both).

How many minutes had elapsed when it occurred to you that there had been no Bruce yet / how many more minutes did it take for you to give a shit?

> The longtime composer… was batting at .366 this episode. <

I spent most of the stripper sketch distracted by, and trying to make sense of, the fact that Vanessa and Cecily were wearing each other's hair. Was some sort of Wigs of the Magi thing going on behind the scenes?

I feel naive for it never having occurred to me that Jane and Michael would have already done "other stuff". Wait, so does that mean that Jane and Rafael also… ?

If someone had told me two seasons ago that Vernon would turn out to be the show's most emotionally intelligent character… Well, I probably would have believed them, really. We aren't exactly spoiled for choice. 😅

Cranston.

Craig.

Yeah, they seem to be using 'Kevin Roberts' as a lazy formula. "Kevin Roberts in a Haunted Elevator" was still far better than last week's "A Limo Full of Kevins Robert Go to Burger King", though. And I'm content with accepting I'm in the minority on this one. :)

The version that opens the Live in Montreal concert video is one of the reasons I hope time travel is invented within my lifetime.

> I would suggest the immortally cheap Middle Eastern romp Iron Eagle.

Best and worst diegetic use of a Queen song? To this day I can't hear "One Vision" without picturing shit exploding.
