My favorite part of this was when Marcia Gay Harden screamed at the policedudes to arrest AK, then looked baffled/incredulous when they didn't and thusly upped the ante, full-on screaming, at one point, "I said arrest her, dammit!!"

Exactly right. It's important to watch remembering that, typically, House of Cards is more compelling than it actually is good.

Ah, yes. So as you understand it, running an advertisement for a show and then reviewing that show very negatively the very next day (the show's airdate) indicates a lack of journalistic integrity.

I love that this show is basically Stella but where the main character has the surreal universe happen TO him instead of controlling it (in Stella it was like they had superpowers).

I need to think about and maybe even articulate this theory a bit better…but a big part of me feels like the central characters in P&R are stand-ins for the show itself, while the rest of the inhabitants of the Pawnee universe represent the rest of the current TV landscape.

This literally made me barf.

Yep. And he's hateful as all get-out. Once I posted that I don't think it's cool for men to tell other men to "suck their dicks." This guy's response was to go to my fucking personal FB page, copy a bunch of content from it, post it here, then offer a lengthy analysis about how he's convinced I pretend to feel the way…

Yeah, I think this episode has a lot of "table-setting" and kind of borrows a bit from Breaking Bad's formula, wherein the season's penultimate episode would be the one where all the crazy shit goes down, and the season's proper finale would be an episode dedicated largely to table-setting for the next season.

This is one of my favorite shows of all time.

Oh shit, do you say "baby" when you're angry?

This show just eagerly slurped spoonfuls of its own sauce for a straight hour.

Gah, no, you're totally right. Good catch! I totally misremembered that shit.

OK my theory about Rosa laughing at Jake's antics in the show:

I like how he kinda often wound up serving as an audience proxy, especially in the second season.

That's good enough for me.

What kills me is the way characters keep engaging with Bruce has he probes for information about a) the grisly murder of his parents, and b) Gotham's criminal underworld.

What's blowing me away is Bruce's characterization and the way the other characters are reacting to him.

I feel like a lot of this conversation doesn't account for how distinctly different the experience is between the two. Going to a movie theatre and seeing a picture on the big screen with a bunch of people isn't really the same thing as watching something in your living room. They both have their appeals, but there…

I remember it because of what I perceived as some kind of life-or-death importance that they placed on a game called Fuzzy Wuzzy.

Agreed. This is pretty much all the review needed to say about them, too. (Not really. You do good work, Myles.)
