I think it was because of their family situations that the kids (and teacher) were drawn to Prairie's quest for Homer, the lost boy who wants nothing more than to prove himself to his family. It doesn't matter if in most cases the parents really are in the wrong, it's still a common feeling, and all five are versions…

A Prayer for OA Meany

"They communicate via a combination of text messages, eye rolls, and dick pics."

Maybe we can get the Life and Death Brigade to do Wild. Only we'll give them Into the Wild instead. Or I'll settle for 127 Hours.

Since Hannah will never have the opportunity to do it herself, Daniel's opening gang-rape monologue will have to represent what they both went through. It's too bad that even now Pickens blurs Hannah's victimization with slut-shaming. And while I don't exactly doubt Pickens's account of the investigation, it is rather…

We're gonna need a bigger boat.

Juliette was infuriating but I think the show is ultimately more on Audrey's side . Note the punchline to the scene: Juliette trying to verbally deny consent to the douchebag student who lapped up her every apologia and only getting him to stop when Audrey interrupts.

Or two hours of Mary giving birth to Jesus.

Rory is just awful so far. Even if she weren't cheating on Paul she'd still be treating him terribly. But she is cheating on him, and regularly. With Logan. Who is engaged. And then she cheats on him with some guy she meets on the street. For whom she has nothing but mockery and contempt because he wore a…

Yeah, it was a bit jarring for a running joke about firing celebrity chefs to intersect with the subplot about low quality guests and Michel's wanderlust.

Yes, and under similar circumstances. I was relieved that Parlov didn't fake the crime like Holt's violinist did, and this variation made more sense thematically anyway.

Think of it this way: If you picked a door and were then offered the chance to switch to the other two doors, would you do it? Of course. Because your first choice has a 1/3 chance of having the car while switching gives you a 2/3 chance. This is true whether or not Monty opens one of the other two doors. Seeing that…

That's more or less how I finally understood it as well. When I realized that Monty opening a (non-randomly chosen) door or not opening a door made no difference to the math it fell into place. Do you want the door you picked or ever door you didn't pick? Then it's an easy choice.

Here's my problem with Tommy: he's usually right, but he refuses to make his case before playing backroom games to get his way. He clearly likes subverting the Queen more than advising her. Every conversation is either Tommy saying the decision is Elizabeth's and her slowly dragging an actual opinion out of him, or…

Teddy is so fascinating. I love his conversation with Melvin when he says that everyone has their own perspective. I don't think the Teddy from Season 1 or 2 would see it that way. And now more and more doubt is being cast on Daniel's original crime, and Teddy has to consider what that means for his feelings about the…

I love how Tawney's "not yet"- in response to whether she's used the grill since he's gone- seemed to give Teddy the push he needed to give Tawney the push she needed. Such a great scene and great episode. Easily an A.

Pynchon reference: The golden charm was a wolf's tooth, ie the Golden Fang from Inherent Vice.

It's not just Hamilton. Trump is also mad at The Producers for retroactively ripping off the story of his campaign.

I like how Josh's thought bubbles ultimately ended with a meta-rhyme, Brittany Snow, Snow-Snow-Snow, Snow-Snow-Snow, Snow-Snow-Snow

Edward continues to be the closest thing The Crown has to a villain
