The show going explicitly out of it’s way to not blame Michael Eisner (Who owns Tornante, Bojack’s production company and who was big in getting Bojack to air in the first place) for Herb being fired and then overly praising Eisner as a great guy was a terrific metajoke in a very dark plotline.

Lindelof has said that it was planned as a complete story with no plans for a second season. Depending on response to the show, a second season is possible, but it would be a different story.

I watched every episode of Glee for some reason, and yes it was a mess, and yes the show quickly lost interest in making the characters more than bare-bone vessels they could just do whatever with, and yes every time you thought it had hit rock bottom (Rocky Horror episode, Kurt not reporting Grant Gustin to the…

As weird as the Jon/Dany romance situation is, I will say my favourite moment of the episode was probably the reaction shot of the dragons just watching the two of them make out.

He was Inuit actually. From my memory the character himself was pretty respectfully depicted, save for the choice to refer to him almost exclusively by the nickname “Pieface”, which was super bad and racist, and almost always gets critiqued or recontextualized to be a nickname that the racists at the airline called…

I only drop in on The Simpsons once or twice a season nowadays but Amran having written this one got me interested and I was not let down. This one was just chocked full of the kind of great little throwaway gags I like to see in a Simpsons episode like Homer being excited about the non-writing producer on the Krusty…

They announced that Lex would be coming to Supergirl this season way back in October, about a month before they cast Cryer, so I’m going to assume it was the plan all along to bring him in. After all, Lockwood is a compelling character but he’s not the kind of Big Bad that can offer superhero bombast the way Lex…

I was concerned about Lord and Miller not directing this one in favour of the director of Trolls, but I really enjoyed this movie. It’s a bit more predictable than the original in terms of figuring out where it’s going (Mainly because the “real world” meta-plot is out in the open this time), but it has a lot of fun…

I agree that the montage scene goes on way too long. I wish they could’ve done the scene where Lemony goes on a long monologue about how he doesn’t know who survived the fire or what happened to them afterwards because that sequence rules, but it probably would’ve felt out of place in this because the show doesn’t…

The Great Unknown is pretty much handled the same way in the books (Though from what I recall, the books don’t explicitly call it a sea monster), and they also leave a lot of threads dangling but it works better there because “life is full of mysteries that will never be adequately resolved or explained” is a big…

As someone who is still unabashedly a big Weezer fan (though not to the degree of Damon’s character in that sketch. Ratitude and Pacific Daydream are not good albums and should not be used to defend Weezer’s post-Pinkerton output.), I was delighted start to finish by that dinner sketch. The level of specificity in the…

As a born and raised Calgarian, it gave me a thrill to see my city represented on my current favourite show, even if it was only one remote cabin and a saloon.

It’s also so perfectly Rudy that he doesn’t even realize that his costume is an obscure pop culture reference. He just confidently assumes that everyone else found Paul Rudd’s performance in I Love You, Man as iconic as he did.

The Teddy storyline was worth it just for Linda’s “I’m not explaining to the kids that their dad died in a chainsaw spider accident” line. And “Those Who Can, Dle Candle” grew on me, though that might of partly been the novelty of the “store next to Bob’s of the week” actually having a role to play in the episode…

“So I guess the toughest thing of all was being tough”. “Who are you talking to?” “Estelle”. “Who’s Estelle?!” “Just Estelle! You don’t know her. Not everyone needs to know everybody”. “Hmm, I have learned two lessons today”. For the long-term growth of both Todd and Mr. Peanutbutter, it’s probably good that the show…

Busy Phillips was one of Courtney Cox’s co-stars on Cougar Town so Courtney was hoping that it wasn’t Busy’s corpse. It’s pretty solid Cougar Town wordplay.

The pay-off to George Sr.’s “attack a skinhead” advice being Buster attacking Ron Howard was probably my biggest laugh of the season. Even though we were told that the meeting wouldn’t go well, the specifics just caught me off-guard in the way that all the best Arrested Development jokes do.

Honestly, as funny and brilliant and scathing as that entire documentary was (I did not think the set-up of Titus having done a “stock footage” job would pay off as well as it did), I think my favourite part was Kimmy’s “Fooping shit.” reaction to the doc at the end. Since swearing is used so rarely on this show and…

So since the new cat is named Nafta (Which is an adorable name for a cat), Winston and Aly are definitely naming their baby Furguson, right? It feels like the most fitting tribute that cat could get beyond the elaborate gravestone with prominent Stars of David and the “And now his watch has ended” epitaph.

“I swear to God Nick, if I hadn’t got kicked off of Craigslist...” I really enjoyed the focus on Nick and Winston’s friendship this episode. It’s never gotten the kind of attention that the Nick/Schmidt friendship has gotten but Jake Johnson and Lamorne Morris have a nice chemistry that really makes you feel like…
