Did these idiots not think to just go buy some milk?

I lurved the Go-Go’s. Gina Schock’s surfy back beat style was a huge inspiration to me when I was learning how to play the drums. At least in So Cal at the time, there was a Go-Go’s vs The Bangles kind of thing ala Blur vs Oasis and I always sided with the Go-Go’s even though the Bangles were for the most part, great…

Loads of people disdained The Monkees for being put together by some guy.

Isn’t that also just the “girlfriend” role in most shows, to be a helper?

He was simply following around the first detective assigned to the dead baby case to ask him about it. 

Perry did work for a lawyer for several years and didn’t exactly cheat at the bar exam. He was well coached, yes. But old bar exams are not kept secret. He was qualified, and simply took advantages of little used knowledge and laws. 

I didn’t even want to have to create an account to comment but as an attorney feel I have to respond to those who think Mason cheated on the bar exam. Back in the day, we studied for the bar exam by studying past bar exam questions. Which were released after the exam. And they did use past questions from past years on…

Yep, I caught that as well. It could be that it was always a shell game with E.B., but I think it’s more likely that he truly was a powerful, wealthy, and respected lawyer with a bustling firm at some point, but things declined steeply and he spent the majority of his time and energy making people think that he was…

Bipolar disorder doesn’t make people act like this, being a virulent narcissist does. At his core, he is a deeply shitty person. He never gave a shit about his mother because he refused to do the one thing his mother wanted him to do, which was educate himself. This is all on him, and as I said before, this is…

I think about stuff like that a lot.  I also wonder how bad everyone must smell, pre deodorant and daily showers......

I totally agree. I said to my wife early on in the scene, “he’s going to kill himself.” Although I expected a hanging. It felt a bit like Shawshank.

does anyone else wonder just how nasty the dead kidnapper’s body must be while Perry and Pete tote him around (with a giant gaping head wound) from the morgue to Perry’s basement and finally to a golf course? That was kinda funny in a very dark, Weekend at Bernie’s way, but also OMG he must be pretty ripe by now (and…

Some of the best prestige television series frequently deliver a surprising supporting performance, a memory  that can last long after it ends. I think of Ann Dowd or Amy Brenneman in The Leftovers or going back a few, Jack Huston on Boardwalk Empire.

That may be because she felt unique and original, and now she’s sliding into well worn territory we’ve seen a million times. But Jodie is so effortlessly watchable, they're getting away with it.

My work here is done!

Agreed. I intensely disliked the finale, for all the reasons you give, and for one more: I hated how the effect of the drug took as long as the plot required. The nameless people basically dropped like flies after their first sip, whereas the “important” people took forever. Long enough for them to think and talk…

Yep. I’m late to the party and just getting through season 3, but this whole plot has been a huge drag. Quite frankly, I don’t care to explore the inner demons of Harry Ambrose. He’s not that interesting and his problems are not that complex. He’s just kind of a self-centered jerk. Same goes for Jamie Burns. Grown-up…

There are few things more tiresome in comedy than the setting up and then mocking of “idiots” with the implication that our smart protagonist is oh so much better than them. There’s nothing wrong with idiocy as fuel for comedy - ‘Arrested Development’, with its never-ending roster of oblivious fools, did so…

how is ‘not recognizing there’s a joke to get’ different than ‘not getting the joke?’
