Kimmy getting a makeshift honorary degree ("We ended up not giving this to Jimmy Smits because Attack of the Clones was such a turd".) might be my favourite joke of the episode, though the big poster of Trump in the police station saying "You're a loser" comes close.

"And I don't know who the fuck Larry is…" You're one of the lucky ones, Taystee.

"I didn't want to worry you but I have an LVAD machine in my heart. Like Dick Cheney had, but mine was replacing something."

"Socrates' wife was named Xanthippe. That's the name of a friend of mine whose pants get drippy!" Kimmy's continued ability to casually humiliate Xan without even trying to do so is one of my favourite things. Also, as far as toilet humor goes, the entire running gag about Xan's pants-pooping video was pretty great,

"Now my momma didn't raise no fool. 'Cause she abandoned me in the hospital".

Well most cities would seem like Paris after three years in a small Alberta city (I took a friend who grew up in Red Deer to downtown Calgary once and she lost her damn mind over the tall buildings, revolving doors, glass elevators, and C-Train.) but Edmonton is alright. I spent a few years working at a summer camp

Does an alright arts scene REALLY make up for having to live in a hellhole like Edmonton though? (I'm sorry. I live in Calgary so I'm contractually obligated to talk shit about Edmonton whenever the opportunity arises, even though I think it's a fine place with wonderful people.).

Start listening to the Tragically Hip until you have a working knowledge about them and then just change the topic to them whenever someone starts to get suspicious about your true heritage.

"Don't worry honey, Sean Penn isn't real. He's just a story made up to scare kids". This is the start of my favourite stretch of episodes this season going through the next two episodes.

It's been a couple weeks since I've seen this episode and that damn Raven Live! theme song is still stuck in my head.

"Ooooh, get out of my amusement park!" Kimmy's attempt at ghosting alone makes this episode at least a B+. Ditto her later attempt at goatsing.

"Don't come in just yet. I'm building a, um, pie and I'm just adding the diesel crust". "She's insane. Who does the crust last?" "And if she's putting the crust on top, that's a crumble!" "Execute. Take her down."

"Lady, you're gonna pass out and break a hip. And believe me, it's not fun. Every time I go through a metal detector, it's a whole thing. I got to get patted down by the guy, and I say, 'Buy me a dinner first.' One time he did. Very awkward." Peter Reigert is one of my favourite parts of the season. Artie is just so

"How would you like to sing lead?" "Lead? I haven't sung lead vocals since Luther Vandross passed out at that concert and I ran onstage pretending to be a doctor". Titus Burgess is just on fire this episode. Every line delivery is just gold.

Plus for some reason, Xan always inspires Kimmy to start rapping, which is always gold. "Well you don't have to swear to have a fun rap-"

"If it's the last thing I do, I will get you Gene!" "No, no, no, no! Get me, get me, get me!" "I couldn't have done it without you mom." "Or Gene. That guy's the man". Gene getting all the credit for doing nothing but attempt to explain the plan at the end was a terrific joke. I hope Christina Pickles returns at some

I really enjoyed this finale. Yeah, the big cliffhanger/status quo change will probably get resolved in time for Halloween V, but it's still a strong cliffhanger and watching this show find a plausible way out of the corner they've written themselves into is always interesting. Hitchcock's awful trenchcoat and wig

We're nowhere near that point though. This review is just based off of episode 3 with no knowledge of how the rest of the season plays out, so right now it just seems like they're randomly sidelining David Cross even if it does eventually lead somewhere.

I enjoy Cross' character (The idea that a great dream for him is bowling a 90 is just so hilariously pathetic) but I think Jacqueline's story works much better without him in it constantly. It always seemed off to me that her season 2 journey about learning how to get by on her own ended with her getting another man.

That whole montage of Kimmy trying to fill her College application with extracurricular activities was great, but my favourite moment was when we see her talking to a "bad mitten" she's given the personality of that homeless man she was "debating" because she's misread "Badminton". "What's a minton?" "Girl, I told
