…good god, Juno gets WORSE on re-watching?  HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE

AWESOME!  One of the guys in Book of Black Earth is a friend of a friend, and he is super nice.  And his band is really good too, so yay!

I am so sick of the trailers for this on TV and stuff, I will be glad when this is released and can just bomb already.

Who were the folks at the end?  They looked familiar.

Huh — is annulment state-to-state?  I kinda figured it was the same across the US.  Looking at the WP article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik… — it's a little vague, but it looks like there are different statutes, but "intoxication" is a valid reason for annulment… so, yeah.

I didn't think the Black Guy In Sweden joke was too bad — mainly just that Sweden has a proportionally high white population, so not mean-spirited.  (And I did like "Blackensippen!", but I have a soft spot for that kind of fake language.)  The Asian thing was just.. ugggh.

…I didn't really think the whole concept of "finding a guardian in case we die" would be such a big deal?  And, the idea of the Other Couple having the kids' over and getting rooms for them and all that?  …were they thinking of killing Homer and Marge for the kids or, y'know, was it just lazy-ass writing… as usual.

Man, I love the Else.  I'm kinda "eh" on The Spine and Join Us though.

"Too Much Time" is always the song I play to people who think they hate Beefheart.  It tends to mess with their heads.  And it's fuckin' gorgeous.

I loved the "Hooked On A Feeling"/Mounted Head gag — that was one of the first things from a new FG that I'd laughed out loud at in a while.  But, on othe other hand you had the terrible Chinese/Japanese joke, and I guess Peter's a child molester now?

Yeah — I actually liked this one probably best of all of 'em this season.  B- from me. I did really like the "Mom/Sorry Mrs. Simpson" joke too — along with the alarmist one.  That said, the attempts at padding were kinda odd (like the 3 or 4 or 5 establishing shots of the Play Place at the beginning — or the…

I have to admit I did like Stewie's "Jesus lived with us for like a week, what more do you want?" line, too.

The Black Gestapo is AWESOME!  It's got Mac from Night Court as an evil guy!  It's super rad.
