I’m just waiting for her to face any sort of lasting consequences other than being briefly startled when someone she’s been an asshole to thinks she’s an asshole. At this point, I don’t know if that’s ever coming, and that’s really disappointing.

Midge begins to slowly embrace being herself, rather than trying to please other people.

fun fact: they all speak with Patton Oswalt’s voice but fart with Joe Rogan’s

I think “Bye. Ass.” is going to be my new sign-off.

You will. For this. See you in hell.
Ass.

Could someone please get Joseph Fiennes some lip balm?

You seem to think depicting political personalities while gilding over their flaws isn’t political in itself

Have to say my reaction to the “jump” was the exact opposite of the criticism I’ve been seeing of it. The fact that it came out of nowhere in what’s so far been a decidedly well done and by the book police procedural made it all the more terrifying, announcing that all bets are off and the center does not hold.

Can we give props to Wanda Sykes as Moms Mabley!

Oh man, watching Suzie realise that she’d lost Midge’s money fucking broke me. Alex Borstein should really have equal billing by now.

Prior to her performance just when it’s mentioned she’s performing at the Apollo I thought oh no. Well she fucked it up in an entirely different way than I was expecting. She got in the audience’s favor by picking on the other minority group he was apart of. An example of shitty punching down humor for easy laughs.

I don’t think the show is going to turn on Midge; this is an Amy Sherman-Palladino production - the Gilmore Girls were the two biggest jerks in Stars Hollow, and the show expected us to love them. 

I’m fine with the show turning on Midge.  She is after all based on Joan Rivers, and for all Joan Rivers talent and her importance to women in Comedy she was also a narcissistic asshole who’s entire late career was saying terribly awful things about people.  Of course they could have called Suzie to cancel her…

Great review! I thought the pull out on the radio ad was a bit of a strange lesson to learn for Midge about the responsibility of having a platform and then *MILD SPOILER* forgetting that lesson at the Apollo the next episode (I know her intentions were never to be cruel). Just seemed that was something that could…

I started reading Nancy Drew when (ahem) Kennedy was president. Nancy isn’t a redhead but a blonde - an annoyingly perfect girl - and if her friend George isn’t a lesbian she sure ought to be. Still, I’m going to give this one a try.

I can not listen to this song anymore since I had a dream where members of Kajagoogoo were trying to kill me on a merry-go-round. 

SAY MY NAME BITCH

It’s going to be an hour of them humming Daybreak:

I would be fine with that, actually. What better way to drown my sorrows over the fact that there will never be a Community movie, than with “Senor Chang’s Community Tequila Wine”?

Who would’ve thought that in an episode containing exploding rats, the most cringe-inducing part would be watching Steve flounder at picking up chicks.
