I thought it was a funny episode. It took some big swings.

I'm kind of with you.

Legitimate depression, is what it felt like to me.

It's kind of unbelievable how good this show is.

Easily the best Community episode since season 3 and a fitting end for the series. Dan Harmon can go back on the meds now; we don't need him to bleed for us anymore.

Just because there is a half-clever internet name for the trope doesn't make it lazy. Or at least no lazier than the accusation.

Presumably the waitress he banged in New York City in the pilot is still kicking.

Having trouble understanding the negative reaction to this episode. It was easily the funniest episode of Girls in a couple seasons.

Yes?

Just watch the episode; it's your best bet. There's too much bad ideology and tinpot moralizing to get a clear view here.

Sorkin and Libby Hill share one thing in common: both write as if they believe that each is engaged with the other in a life and death struggle over the future of the culture. And the results are far too pompous and shouty for my taste.

I'm half convinced that Sorkin wrote this episode simply to troll the online commentariat.

The apparently is an ironic comment about my comments. As if I were so estranged from my opinions that I only recognize them as my own when I read those opinions back. It's about style; it's attitudinal.

It's unclear. It's as if the show's Oppenheimer is forever coming down off of serious hallucinogens and just sort of wanders around the frame.

The show is aggressively *not* a dramatized version of what happened on the Manhattan Project. It's basically cut from whole cloth. Though if you are a Manhattan Project nerd you'll recognize faint echoes of actual people. The Frank Winters character has some details in common with Seth Neddermeyer. And some minor

Casey Wilson is the funniest person on TV.

Am I crazy, or did the pilot borrow more than a little bit from Miller's Crossing?

The description of the apartment scene between Flo and Langham in this review is so unsound that it's almost unbelievable. We have here an employer coercing an employee into sex. It's not exactly subtle; the scene cuts right after Flo says, in effect, "you can't rape the willing."

Yeah, Francis strangely gets a pass in this review. "I forgive you. I forgive you." Damn. Just repress your shit about family like the rest of us and make nice around the holidays.

Enlisted was overpraised here.
