The production is awful, and at first it put me off of the album almost completely, but over time, I've come to just accept that silliness as part of the whole thing. When I was first getting into Bruce, 'Born to Run' and 'Darkness' were the two albums I played the most, but over the last few years, 'USA' and 'The…

Which is humorous, because it's the best of all of these movies.

'Jurassic Park'

I think that's an oversimplification. This was less about the fact that a rabbit was killed and more about who was killing the rabbit. If Tyler or Carloyn had said it, I doubt Joaquin calls them serial killers.

I liked Daniel and was sad to see him go. It's a difficult thing to be cheerful without coming across as annoying, but he had a nice balance to him.

I don't think he's strong enough socially to win. Is he going to dictate votes? Is he going to do the dirty work?

No proof, but my hunch is that they put in the Jeff voice-overs warning about the planks after the fact. We never see him saying it on-camera, and every other challenge of this type that they've done in the past has been devoid of warning (so far as I can recall). I could be wrong.

Posted it elsewhere in thread, but I maintain that Dan is not an actual human being. His lack of self-awareness is somewhat horrifying. If Apple invents artificial intelligence, they will create Dan.

Carolyn isn't unpleasant, though. She's not freewheeling or anything, but nobody's said a bad word about her that I can remember, save maybe in the first episode. I think she understands how to deal with people.

When she first started into that analogy, it seemed really really specific and I wondered if she was a hardcore basketball fan. Then she said the words "October 13" and I realized that no, incorrect.

I liked Shirin, but this episode did a lot of damage to that view. There's a fine line between being quirky and weird, and being downright annoying. She's clearly on the wrong side of that line. Nobody other than Max seems to be able to stand her.

I would amend "don't talk about previous seasons" to "don't talk about anything whatsoever" pre-merge. Or at least nothing that would make people think about your existence for more than 30 seconds.

This is the first and only time in his life that Tyler is ever going to have a chance to be a bro.

He actually said "Good work White Collar" after his loser tribe lost the reward to them.

Upvoted for "sentient Reddit."

Welp, I was really, really, really wrong on Max and Shirin. I assumed that their outcasting in the White Collar tribe was due to the fact that people like Carolyn have more buttoned-up personalities. No. Apparently they just suck. The editors had a fun time splicing their strategy pow-wows with the actuality of the…

It would have been so, so easy for him to rest on his laurels, too. Whether a person likes the album or not, we should all appreciate that he's willing to take risks and try different things. So many talented artists don't do that.

If **insert precious indie artist** made an album with this much musical variation, this many ideas and this much ambition, the thing would have scored an A+infinity. As is, I'll just glare at that minus for the next hour.

One of those rare FJ clues where I immediately threw my hands up and said, "I have no idea." Had I actually thought about it, I might have migrated to the answer eventually. Sometimes, though, you just quit.

No kidding. I know it's easy to overthink clues, but a lot of times, the obvious response is the right one.
