The Carnival is infinitely better than No Way Out, are y'all high?

This show is warm peach cobbler made by someone you love. Very rarely is something so good-natured so well-crafted.

Fair enough :) I guess it depends on whether you view an episode of television as necessarily dependent upon the viewer having no knowledge of what's next to function correctly. It's a good question in the age of Netflix, but I would assume the reviewer can draw on both the initial experience of watching the episode …

Holy shit, that actually tracks in terms of chronology. Version 2.0 came out in 1998.

The Sophomore Season Upgrade: So Kimmy Schmidt's hair is suddenly layed like Version 2.0-era Shirley Manson and nobody's gonna say shit, huh?

Deniably bitchin'.

Wow. That was quite the dick move on your friend's part.

Remember when Kendrick Lamar dropped "i" months ahead of To Pimp A Butterfly and legions of critics and fans cried pop sell-out and corny sop to crossover radio? And then the album dropped and, when placed in context, became a beautiful declaration of hard-earned esteem? Yeah, that.

I haven't enjoyed an episode so much all season. That said, Frank is, unfortunately for William H. Macy, just a dull irritant at this point and Lip's getting there.

You don't even need to interpret anything she says. If your fiancee just had a miscarriage, STAY HOME WITH HER, FOOL.

She and Beefheart were friends (though they only spoke over the phone as that was the only way he communicated). Harvey said he was a great comfort and support to her, but she never characterized it as a mentor/student relationship.

She's my favorite musician so I love pretty much everything she does. I will say this- despite To Bring You My Love and Rid Of Me being my personal classics, Let England Shake is quite possibly her best written (note the icon). In any case, I think this new one will be amazing- what I've heard has been fire.

No lecture. I was purely coming from a place of 'I don't like either one of you'.

I still believe the line she plays on "Oh!" is one of the greatest guitar moments of the last twenty years.

I said this over on the binge watch review but it bears repeating: Josh vs. Tammy would have been some riveting Rousey vs. Holm shit, with my money on Tammy The Beautiful Soul over Josh The Monstrous Industry Douchebag.

I don't know what this says about me, but I kind of wanted to see Josh and Tammy throw hands.

Yeah but did you leave emails proving an affair on your server while running for public office?

You're exactly right about the stupidity part- which is why the entire plot point feels both ill-advised and a retroactive mischaracterization.

Exactly. Same with Lip's cyclical dickery and Frank's Wacky Adventures in Alcoholic Sociopathy. If the new protocol for Ian becomes the predictable 'off his meds and antic' vs. 'on his meds and miserable', I'm out.
