That, my friends, is how you OWN.

Ahh, thanks.  I was wondering if my brain parts were interpolating that legal owner business.

If they brought back that prostitute from last season - what was her name?  Lianne?  Luanne? - then he'll probably show up again sooner or later.  It's not like that's the first time we've been to that whorehouse or anything.

Yeah … it's … not a great choice.

That'll only make it sweeter when they Tim us to completion, baby.

@avclub-d019eb089e65903455cc52308f00b997:disqus  - Yeah, he did say something along those lines.  On its own, the smacking line could've been Arlo dredging up the past, but add it all up, and you get a big ol pile of dementia.

They are not real.

Quarles' inference was both surprising and, in retrospect, completely understandable.  But it also sets into relief the whole carpetbagger dynamic that got referenced last week: some big shit from out of town comes in, thinks he knows what's what, and acts accordingly.

He's going to use the house as a "pain clinic;" I believe the poor soul getting pounded (in one sense or another) is the legal owner.  I'm pretty sure this was established in the first or second episode.

I'm trying to decide whether, and if so, how much, I'd be disappointed if Quarles is left to be a more or less one note sadistic motherfucker.

I'll take any Tim I can get.  Any Tim at all.

I thought the show handled that whole business really, really well.  And the fact that it got Raylan & Art drinking bourbon together was an added bonus.

I had no idea that that dude is Tom Cruise's cousin, but he is indeed awesome in everything I've seen him in.  And I feel like I've seen him in a lot.

That alone I could've chalked up to Arlo being old n'ornery.  But the fact that he just dropped the dime on Boyd without a second thought - and maybe called him "that boy" at first? - made it seem like he just wasn't in possession of his faculties.

I thought - maybe hoped? - that Charlie running south of the border is their way of wrapping up that misguided storyline once & for all.

Did anyone else get the impression that Arlo's going senile?

This man is good at what he does.

Yeah, this is a very good album.  I hadn't loved what I'd heard of her prior to this - it was OK, interesting enough, just left me a little cold - but this one's been on near-constant repeat since I picked it up.

Yeah.  I don't think knocking a band as a one-trick pony really stands up to much scrutiny - for just the same reason that 'derivative' is such a worthless critical term when it comes to pop music.

I'm perversely pleased by the fact that Community's return comes at the expense of Parks & Rec (kindasortanotreally).  It allows me to continue to imagine pitting those two shows against one another in some kind of deathmatch that culminates in Ron Swanson feasting on Abed's still-warm Aspie entrails.
