Good off the rails is when we get Riddler teaming up with Penguin for wacky awesomeness. Or how Captain Barnes abruptly turned into Judge Dredd and started screaming “Guilty! GUILTY!!!!” Or the entire glorious story arc of Barbara.

The whole plot could go off the rails at any moment.

Something I really liked, and showed why this is such a good series, was the way were introduced to Liz and why she quit being an AUSA. While there was something admirable about Liz’s principles and wanting to be open about them, I thought it was a great detail that the reason she left wasn’t because of some form of…

Whaaat? No weekly reviews? I’ve been following the AV Club’s weekly covering of The Good Wife/Fight for so long now... this feels like the end of an era...

The Obama library isn’t one of the top clients at the firm. The middleman for the Obamas was a good friend of Diane, and the firm assumed that the library would be a shoo-in for them. That’s why they had bragged for five months about getting it to their other clients, and why it would be very embarrassing for their…

That last speech was presented super weirdly.

How did you miss that the part of Qo’nos we saw was basically a shanty town set up by Orion traders, and thus of course it was “unrelated to the Klingons themselves’? There was nothing weird about it. 

I would’ve been perfectly okay with them using this as the series finale.

My complaint about all of this is it seems like the first season was largely built around two “holy shit” twists (I.e., Tyler is Voq, and Lorca is really Mirror Lorca) that one could see coming 5 episodes ago. I think they could have done better in not telegraphing all of this.

And starring Johnny Depp, whose whole thing is definitely not exhausting.

Hmm. See, that reads less like a review and more like your feelings got hurt because they made fun of your Transformers movies.

It’s what it might look like if you didn’t like the show. Dennis likes the show.

Supersonically serpentine story of souls in a suspicious Shangri-la, studying Sartres.

That was my favorite. “The Haunted Crow’s Nest or something, whatever, who cares”

(and how great was Jameela Jamil’s American accent, honestly? It would have been a perfectly acceptable time to do a comically terrible accent, but she nailed it!)

I liked the Bad Place poster for Pirates of the Caribbean 6, now playing EVERYWHERE, FOREVER.

He was expecting an impassioned plea to eat your Activia Yogurt daily, as being regular can help prevent such tragedies. Brought to you by Activia.

Or that he couldn’t leave her for an eight-foot tall blue cartoon.

Oh, roleplaying. You mean where both adults have agreed beforehand to act out a fictional scenario with clearly defined limits, as opposed to one person forcing the other to do what he wants without revealing his identity?

The fact that Michael was just whispering ‘something something Vicki something something” over and over again killed me.
