Do you guys ever just do reviews without this bullshit? 

I thought they wuz having snuggles.

Yeah, I think the guy gets a pass considering how she’s clearly obsessed with Vil and only occasionally remembers she viciously murdered her friend on the dance floor. She tells herself she wants to catch her, but I think she’s more obsessed with playing cat and mouse as long as possible. 

I know to keep zipping now, but yes, what you said is exactly what we used to do, we’d stop it, realize it’s not the show, and go, “Fuck it” and drop the remote and wait. Clever girl, BBC, get us to watch the promo for whatever is coming up next. 

That was a damn good exit line for a subpar episode.

Did it seem like they harshly lit Amy in her CNN interview at the end? Was that because she was in full Kelly Ann Conway mode?

Yeah, very true. I’ve watched the whole series beginning to end three times, and this season and (to a lesser degree - the last) has seemed scattershot. There are still more laughs per episode than most shows, but the quality dip is noticeable.
And your supporting characters statement is very true. They’re almost

I said, “Heh, Parasite Eve” out loud, and realized my wife had no idea why that amused me.

Those “Here’s a scene you may or may not see 2 minutes from now” commercials are terrible. I don’t understand why they continue to use them. They do em for Doctor Who, Orphan Black, etc... I just want the show to be the show, and commercials to be commercials. I don’t want a sneak peek of something I’m just about to

Stray Observations Roughly 2 to 3 People Might Like-

Trump satire? I loved this show when it did it’s own thing. I’m so overdosed on (“it’s like when Trump did...”) satire. Veep’s tone changed when AI left, most people know that, but this season I see a lot of forced comedy.

A classically inept review that is willfully (or just plain original recipe) ignorant to why characters do what they do. It’s all there if the writer bothered to look, but he’s too busy looking for things to knock, he doesn’t care if they make sense or not.

I bought the cassette single. Yep. I own it. The cassette, and the fact that I bought it.

I thought she vanished with 1 life to spare? Leaving the door open for her (possible) return.

Halibut omelet? Best 2 out of 3. 

Was that the one where Barrymore and Debi Mazer were afterthoughts? One of them was Harley Quinn too, which is doubly wasteful.

As opposed to now where everyone complains about everything, and big studios, TV shows, athletes, advertisers, etc are forced to listen or be shamed by Twitter.

I hate you guys.

Yes, most likely. Based on...

Ha ha ha. I see what you did there. Not sure you got what I was doing but whatever.
