This episode really illustrated why I can never play Survivor. One bat of the eyelashes, and I'd have been putty in Anna's hands. That confessional where she blows a kiss goodbye to Peter right before tribal, and follows it up with this adorable giggle, was absolutely fucking precious.

The only way I could come up with is if they somehow had a list that told them what every other faction in the world calls their walkers, and decided they had to come up with something different. So they opened up a dictionary, picked a verb, and made a noun out of it.

And the cigarette woman looks EXACTLY like what I'd imagine out of Margo Martindale's beloved character actress Margot Martindale's stunt double.

Literally the first thing I thought, and the second thing I posted in these comments (I really ought to have scrolled farther down).

I imagine meeting Negan is like passing through Platform 9 3/4.

I Am Negan (and So Can You!)

"Don't let the name throw you, Jimmy. It's not really a floor. It's more of a steel grating that allows material to sluice through so it can be collected and exported."

-That Times Square scene was positively adorable.

I think one of the big failings is at a conceptual level. Instead of saying, "We need to show a different side to the zombie outbreak," they said, "We need to show an earlier side to the zombie outbreak."

I enjoy Grease 2 more than Fear The Walking Dead.

I agree, to an extent. They need to tell new stories, but I vastly prefer this to yet another weekly fetch quest that has no relevance to anything that came before or anything due to come after.

The whole Marnie storyline was heartbreaking, I thought. Just the way she talks herself into sticking with Desi, who's basically a needy man-child, is bad enough. But when she comes through the door and Desi says "I thought you were at your mother's", she just casually responds, "No, she got back together with her

I wonder sometimes whether Elijah is like Lafayette on True Blood. Great character when he's on the sidelines, making observations and witty remarks, but less so when he's given his own storylines.

For all the shit Dunham gets, I can't think of many creators who routinely portray themselves this terribly. I find Hannah one of the most compelling characters on TV, solely for how uniquely awful she is. Dunham has done a great job creating that character, and still making her compelling.

I hated when she snapped at the employee, although I would imagine that was the point.

I think people in the comments last week took that whole act far more seriously than the show intends to. I'd honestly be surprised if it came back up.

I think they're both pretty lousy. Jessa can be an insufferable bitch, but she wasn't wrong in her analysis of Hannah, and how everyone has to drop everything they're doing and cater to her needs.

They're equally cringey in their self-importance, between Desi's radical misinterpretation of Marnie's request for space, to Marnie's hilarious mispronunciation of "Ecuador" last week.

In the same way I have no idea how Hannah still has a job (teachers' union?), I'm baffled as to how she puts up with Fran.

Kind of lousy for Tandy to burn all of Phil's stuff. Maybe his child will want to have something of his/her father, even if it's just a picture of dear ol' dad sporting George Jefferson hair. Hopefully, they plucked that half-burned license out of the fire pit.
