Cecily Strong's Missy Elliot line was the best use of musical lyrics as sketch dialogue in a very, very long time.

I'm really disappointed with that ending. Not only the parting of the Thames, but the way-too-predictable "Ariel actually survived" and "this is one of two bunkers in the entire world and it's not even very far under the surface of the ground from the looks of it" nonsense.

That's terribly-convenient for the baby grandma who could probably use that baby blood, being Jude's baby after all.

As far as I know it was always intended to be a miniseries. So there won't be anything left to tie up.

I'm glad they went from Rosa's perspective, although the idea of her eventually "coming around" to Josh might rub me the wrong way if they don't play it off REALLY well in the next episode. I love when they jump into new perspectives, especially with the "Bitch, Crazy, C-U-N-T" sort of stuff. "You're lucky crazy is

They'd never make him a rapist. He's just as close to rapist as he can get without ACTUALLY being one. You know, because of the implications.

Downton Abbey also has a HUGE following, including by people who want to support their Public Broadcasting Station.

That excerpt is from one of the characters who thinks in literary terms. Her husband IS a programmer. He DOES think in nesting brackets. And the daughter thinks how an imaginative, free-flowing child thinks. Each character's chapters appear how they think, and it's a fascinating experience.

I'd say partly because of the 7-figure advance he got for proposing the idea. And partly because it's his TV show.

Based on what I got out of House of Leaves, I'm right there with you. The MZD that came through on the page to me would completely laugh at the idea that a book about an annotated copy of a review of a movie that doesn't exist turning into a movie itself.

First album is southern rock and blues pretty plain and simple. Second album is kind of a hypnotic acid trip of blues and classic R&B.

Look to the cookie!

It's literally an assembly line of modern pop hits, since every song on the album was written for another artist, but either rejected or cut from their album lineups.

Not to be that guy (well actually, to BE that guy), there is one sense of the word where it doesn't work: a "master-piece" in the original sense was the FIRST great work an artist/tradesman produces, which allows them to move from journeyman to master of his craft.

He's still the best interviewer in late night, just without relying on his character to do it. He's had nearly a dozen presidential candidates, the UN Secretary General, a space archaeologist, Elon Musk, and the most touching interview I think anyone's done with a sitting Vice President, actual journalism included.

I've had a smoke alarm that chirped for a month. Don't ask me why I didn't change the battery.

The style of humor in this reminds me of "The Wrong Man(s)," although the cast probably helps remind me of that as well. I didn't think I'd enjoy it, but I do want to see the next episode. I've missed Jenna Fischer.

At least we know it won't get cancelled before the ending, right?

I enjoyed the entire episode. Bern Your Enthusiasm was a pretty-much perfect pre-taped segment, and it only continued to grow into a Curb-esque ending where the five deciding voters were all people he had dissed.

I love how they set up the first episode as a "hacktivist procedural drama" and then by the end of the episode they subvert it. I'm looking forward to it, even if sometimes it gets a little too "teen angsty."
