My issue is that, for a long time, Rick was the moral center of the show. Seasons 1-3, his trust and civility slowly erode, until the prison community fails and he becomes distrustful and cynical. That's fair. The Group then reestablishes itself behind Hardcore Rick's ideology, culminating in their occupation of…

-One episode in, Gillian Jacobs definitely has the best delivery on the Apatow-esque dialogue.

-Remember when the Group was assaulting the hospital and Rick killed that 'cop' he ran over? And it seemed like common sense and that the group was finally figuring out when to show mercy and when to kill suspicious strangers? What happened to that?

NOTE: When I was 17, I 'took some 'shrooms' and sat in the dark for four hours. It was amazing at first, but ultimately emotionally draining and unpleasant.

-After seeing Howard's true motivations last year, it was kind of tragic to see him cry out "Jimmy?" at the meeting. He just wants something to go right for Jimmy so he can stop feeling terrible.

Technically, Sam and Jessie died for not moving.

Evenly distributing blood spatter onto business casual jeans? I like it.

-It seemed like there were many more walkers in that herd. Oh well. There was never any indication that Rick wouldn't have killed them all solo, anyway.

-Let's point out at the top that Rory Scovel doing a mock 'bland white guy' voice makes everything funnier.

-I liked the ambiguous tone with Bob & Carol interacting with Schmidt. Both sides are so aggressively needy, neither came off looking like the sane party. They only came together to scream at Nick to perform sexually.

-Personally, I'd rather rewatch Chappelle's 'I Know Black People' sketch than sit through a new 'Black Jeopardy'. Chappelle had the right idea by going way over the line a few times ("How can black people rise up and overcome?" "They can't?" "THAT IS CORRECT!") The subject matter is too touchy for SNL, it always ends…

Jay Pharaoh lives and dies by his impressions, which is fine, but his best stuff happens to be the most common black male impressions on the planet (Jay-Z, Obama, Denzel, Eddie Murphy.)

I remember thinking there was something thematic to the constant encroachment of green plantlife in the frame. When I figured out the plot, I said out loud, "Oh, no. That's stupid. That's so…it's like all the establishing shots in The Birds, but…god that's stupid."

Cloverfield was enjoyable in some sections (shit falling everywhere, the quarantine, the ending) and inexplicably fanciful in others (the whole skyscraper set piece, the fact that one character is even alive by the time she's found.) The appeal was in using the format of found footage in novel ways, so it was…

Honestly, I'd like to get a little closer to 100% in some games. Picked up a used 3DS after Christmas. Slowly going through Fire Emblem: Awakening and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, so I'd like to get some sense of closure in those.

I went through a kung fu thing last year, and my favorite was the director King Hu. He made Wuxia films, which are a little more fantastical than standard martial arts films, but they're fucking phenomenal. Ridiculously good action for films made before Bruce Lee's ascent. In order, they're Come Drink with Me, Dragon…

Welp. Here's some conceptually humorous subgroups of film.

I don't see a problem with the supernatural/otherworldly participating in the plot, because it happened in the first season, so there's no reason not to expect it, really.

I'd say Hanzee knocked Hank out because the Gerhardt's didn't necessarily want a dead cop on their hands, at that point. Which is suddenly ironic to say.

-Mike slowly collecting himself in the phone booth, along with Freeman's "small-time" assessment, added a whole backstory to Milligan. He's been granted authority on the basis of his bark, not necessarily his bite. And he's raw enough to take umbrage at the casualties on his side. Mike's motive finally seems to come…
