This episode was just incoherent. Like, it’s about a sentient anti-matter universe and it wants friends but the normal universe made a cave with a jerk in it and stuck it in between and then the Doctor became friends with a frog. Nothing about it worked on any level.

Those weren’t effects, the guy that played RagDoll is a contortionist.  That was all him!

Nothing against Barry, but there’s something uniquely sweet about the Cailtin-Cisco bond when he’s not in the middle of it.

I love GRRM threads. Barring video game discussions, they’re the best place to come and get high off the rampant entitlement.

Maybe Trey and Matt weren’t intending to say that

A sinkhole opens up at the production studio. As everyone plummets to their doom you can hear a unified cry, “Now that I’ve realized I have a stake in society I’ve realized my nihilism was really just petty and self-absorbtioooooooooooon...”

My wife and I cackled all the way through the final scene, but after about 15 seconds it was mostly out of pure joy. Sigur Ros, beautiful choreography, the realization this may be largely why McElhenney got ripped...we were laughing not so much because it was funny, but just so unexpectedly breathtaking. It definitely

My best friend has MS. She’s 45 and she’s been in a nursing home for 3 years now. She got pneumonia this past week and they weren’t sure she was going to make it. I visited her last night and it was really, really hard. She can barely move her hands. She can’t clear her throat. She obviously can’t get out of bed. And

I’ve been taking care of my mother with progressive MS for over a decade. Such an awful and completely random ass disease.

My mother died from progressive MS after decades of severe disability. The treatments are better now and she has access to them. I wish the best for her. 

Aggressive drunk slacker becomes notably successful with a fabulous beer business. (I’m pretty sure fazzo isn’t real slang, but it very easily could be).

Hell yeah, this had everything I love about The Good Place. Hilarious Jason one-liners, William Jackson Harper going bat-shit crazy, Eleanor being both snarky/bullying and ultimately really kind, and plot moving super fast. I thought the whole episode was going to be Michael coming up with different lies to try to

Yes, they made it less like a dream and more like a nightmare. I suppose this is what happens when the answer to the question “what do we owe each other?” is nothing.

Look, no lie, as an Australian, the headline ‘Biffo blotto bludger turns tall poppy with fazzo frothy biz’ makes perfect sense to me.  

The Elenor v Bartender discussion was great

So that was episode writer Megan Amram playing the violin (sorry, the neck guitar), who Tahani gave $5000 to

She was definitely duped like the rest of us. I’d like to say I saw through it, but the reality it I even teared up a little myself. It was Slippin’ Jimmy’s finest moment. I didn’t know it was total bullshit until he started bragging in the hallway.

I thought she fell for the con too. I saw her expression even as one of relief as Jimmy was finally getting all of the grief she thought he had all season.

I had the opposite read on that penultimate scene. As Jimmy upped his con to the Bar, folding the letter and seemingly letting the real him come out, I believe Kim was finally shedding any doubt she had left in him. She was conned just as much as the Bar. That makes the sudden final scene with Slippin Jimmy exposing

A nice touch that too many shows miss: During that final long shot, the sound of the gunshot followed the muzzle flash by just a short amount of time, which is exactly what you’d see & hear from that distance.  To me, it made the scene all that more realistic.
