Something akin to this is the only proper reaction to such perfect casting.

I’m glad the Bad Place Crew was only there for a brief time (and to get their asses kicked). As this episode made perfectly clear the real evil is the system.

Doug was, essentially, an evisceration of the monastic life taken to the extreme.  Is this the first time they’ve taken a stance on a way of living or philosophy

They can’t bring up Swamp Thing so clearly and not bring in Swamp Thing later in the series, right?  I need a hint of The Green!

It’s the NEED things that make companies move, not tax breaks.

-They needed to be near a town with direct flights to and from Seattle. Nashville has 2 flights. NYC has about 20. Sure Nashville met the need, but come on? If there is something a bigwig has to do in person they aren’t going to settle for only taking a

-Hey guys, let’s sell a stuffed bear with a bad toupe stitched on it to MAGA-morons for $40...
-They’ll never go for it!
-What if we put an American Flag in it’s neck?
-You’re .genius

I’d argue that everything after Disney got the Benji films was non-cannon. There are only 6 Benji films: Movies and Shows 1-6. First, it’s Joe Camp’s franchise. If they are not going by the treatments made by Camp I don’t see the point. People might have been blinded by the nostalgia trip of Benji: The Hunted but it

Beatrice Horseman is kinda hot...

I’m starting to think of The Bad Place Crew as a distraction. Sure, they are a fine “little bad” foil in a sense but the “real bad” is the system. Using them as the main avatar for the system’s status quo tips the show’s hand a little too much. Much more interesting to me are the functionaries, like The Judge and The

I want need a Tahani centaur action figure.

Ugh, accidental double post.

Making It! is great, a nice lazy summer show full of low stakes and kind people. Do you need a hug? It looks like you need a hug.

Superstore has greatly improved as it found it’s voice and started to wear it’s politics on it’s sleeve. I still think some of the character choices are stuck in an earlier, worse version of the show (Mark McKinney’s choice of voice for Glenn, most of the broadness in Dina) but it’s grown a great deal in 4 years.

The series has done a great job of having both of them grow into is slowly.

The Godpigeon says this is unacceptable. The Godpigeon respects you as a top star, Mr. Smith, and that is the only reason there is not currently poop on your Buick.  He asks that you not press your luck further.

I love this episode partly because it’s such a vastly different animal than anything in the first or second seasons. After stealthily schooling us in philosophy and how to be a good person by distracting us with things like rampaging giraffes and crazy plot mechanisms they are showing how it works in the real world.

  • It feels like, again, Hulk is the most dangerous hero in Marvel and I’m completely on board. It’s hard to walk the line with the character. The Ultimate Universe made him too much of a monster, and I always thought the way they handled him in World War Hulk pushed him too far to the antagonist (if justified) side.

This is the type of episode I was worried that Chinbal would make.  Great, fun ideas that are rushed in the conclusion.

He was always great at projecting an image to the rubes:

I’m just happy that they seem to have, after 5 seasons, gotten past the trope that the heroes are keeping major secrets from each other for almost entire seasons.  In the past this secret would take 10 episodes to unfold and then another 5 for them to regain each others trust...
