Ah, but "Order Tom Waits," the band that lets you boss Tom Waits around, is not.

That's just for the ad time itself. I imagine paying them to actually write and produce the thing cost considerably more.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed reading people's reactions to my take on The Ringed City. As a critic, there are few things I enjoy more than hearing smart, passionate people disagree with me, and while I stand by my opinions, I appreciate those other viewpoints on what Souls means to people, and what desires…

I'm going off of this interview with Amber Nash, where she notes that Poovey is gender-neutral.

The mobile game (and later episodes) sets Dreamland explicitly in 1947.

Talking to Thompson last year, I got the sense that Reed is on the lookout for ways to keep himself interested in the show. (I might be projecting, though.) That's what four seasons in a row that start with a radical premise shift say to me, and this is the first of those shifts that's felt like the injection of new…

I like this theory.

Nope, still not the same face.

Just for my own satisfaction, I'll clarify: I think the seasons worked fine. (I was really positive about a bunch of episodes from last season, just for example.) But I think they fail specifically as reinventions, as ways to stave off the inevitable feeling of late-season decay that affects any show that runs this…

I love Vice (the first part, anyway, I don't think the Calderon/Krieger clones stuff works super well.) But as an attempt to chart a new course for Archer, it always feels like a half-measure to me.

Nope, I meant it sincerely. I'm often long-winded, I need to know when to cut more and get to the meat.

Dropping down into the Four Kings fight still frightens me. There's something about that darkness.

Thanks for the feedback, it's always appreciated.

Hmmm… I was excited to read this, because it has been killing me that I can't figure out who Zerc is supposed to be. But looking back at HoA just now, they have pretty different facial structures.

The stuff with Poovey is one of the strangest changes in Archer's dream world.

Speaking of Barry: The ability to just drop great characters like him and Trexler into the mix without worrying about their past appearances is another example of what I'm loving about this season.

The most depressing, and thus convincing, argument I've ever heard is that if you didn't separate women from men, the number of women in Hollywood winning major awards would plummet pretty much overnight as the dudes gobbled them up.

Because their preferred gender pronouns are "they" and "their." It's actually pretty easy!

We are! (Which is to say, I am.) The hand-wringing commences tonight at 10 p.m.!

Nope, we do preview coverage like this for shows we cover, too. Episodic reviews will start tonight, after the show airs at 10 p.m. Central.
