Morning Glory is my favorite song but Falling Down is their best.

Dig Out Your Soul is a world-class record, meaning Oasis were dominating the scene 15 years into the ride.

Will never be able to listen to "America" again without seeing the scene play out in my mind.

It was Alda, but watch again, close your eyes and listen to the voice.

Not sure, I'd like to know. But the Pesci "Good Fellas" persona definitely shone through when 1976 Uncle Pete doing his thing behind the bar. You were watching Buscemi but hearing Pesci.

The transgender episode review wasn't so hot.

And much of the dialogue during the 1976 scene was about paternal relationships, be it young Marianne telling her dad she's fucking black dudes to the black woman at the bar explaining that teenage girls hate their fathers to keep them from fucking them to the gay guy who loves Joe Namath's tush saying that he loved…

BTW, the more things change the more they stay the same, be it the latest generation of Horace and Pete, or Trump. Colin Quinn tells the story about Trump Village ca. '76 and here we are 40 years later talking Trump America. I really do think CK is freaked out about the possibility of President Trump.

Exaggeration? Yes. But it's a masterpiece of writing, especially for the way it dives into the deep dark world of mental health issues. It's what the entire series is about.

Did you notice her pin? Nothing on it. People wear those kinds of political pins. And Mara has that vibe of Hillary, and she talks about Chicago, and the show is, part in parcel, about these dying days of American politics as we know it. What does the empty pin represent?

Also, Louis CK plays an abusive husband and father … too well …

Interesting. Really interesting. Also, look at the cash register when Horace VII talks to Horace VI — the price is 6.66. Symbolism. Every little thing mattered on this show. Here's the screenshot:

So should Alan Alda and Maria Dizzia and Kurt Metzger and Tom Noonan and Jessica Lange and Karen Pittman. Horace and Pete could — and should — sweep the Emmys. If you're going to set the tone for excellence, it all starts with this artwork. Just give them every fucking trophy this year, because nothing else is in the…

This was a good read, Vikram. I've been in a bit of a daze since watching yesterday's episode/finale. I think Louis CK is pretty depressed in real life or flat out fucked in the head like Pete and has considered suicide because America is losing its mind and its heart and its soul and its guts — i.e. politics,…

This is the 49th comment. I'd say the previous 48 sum up how I feel about this episode of Horace and Pete and the series as a whole just 9 episodes into it. I haven't felt this much anticipation for a Saturday morning show since I was a kid.

Another tightly spun episode, painting the corners inside and out.

Very good.

Thank you. It was a masterful scene in a masterful episode of a masterful series that is far and away the best thing going these days. And we're only 8 episodes into it.

What good answers would you have liked for him to provide in this intense theatrical scene? If anything, Louis furthered public discourse of trans issues in a way that felt authentic and satisfying as a viewer instead of trying too hard to act like he knows the score, which he doesn't. Both characters played the scene…

It's a great conceptual effort. Louis C.K. is one of the country's artistic treasures.
