I agree overall that it wasn’t that great, BUT I did think Richard Kind’s breaks were uniformly hilarious. He’s one of those actors where just the idea of him is in itself funny, the straighter he plays it, the funnier. Mulaney seems to think so since he also used him as a human punchline in his great “lunchbox”…

“I’m pretty sure the meeting took place right before Mr. Robot met up with Darlene”

The review didn’t note that on the FBI's wall chart, Elliot's nickname or alias was Sam Esmail! Did you guys notice that?

ALF was on in the hospital

That’s what I said to my gal too after the episode, about the literal deus ex machina!

Before watching this episode, I called out to my girlfriend that the Van Rynes’ catastrophic financial situation at the end of the previous one, would be somehow neatly resolved by the end of the finale. I turned out to be right but it was easy since that’s how most things go on this series!

Seems like it sets up a potential big conflict between George and Bertha, since George has promised to support Gladys’ eventual choice about who she loves and wants to marry, and in any case wouldn’t take kindly to the idea of her being pimped out to the Duke in exchange for his just showing up that night.

Wouldn’t the line have been “bleating on” about her happy honeymoon (not “bleeding”)?

“We barely had time to worry that anything bad might happen before the show assured us that, nope, it’s fine.”

“Railroad magnet"? Lol. Come on!

The mall probably had a free public bathroom.

Sure, but sly references to the theme song’s lyrics (“a-callin’,” etc) are quick becoming a really hacky element of every review and think-piece on the reboot.

Well I'm psyched. And I gotta say,  the part of the show I'll be most excited for (as usual when I go to see any band I'm a fan of, and have seen multiple times before) is whatever they do off the fantastic new album. I'll be yelling and "whooo!"-ing my heart out throughout "Angry."

I think that the main reason it exists is that it just for whatever reason became personnally important to Paul to finish the effort. He has referred over the years to his desire and intention to do it. For sentimental reasons I think, not crass or cynical ones. And there is no “John’s AI replicant voice” or is John’s…

Way late to the party, having just watched the first two episodes last night, here in June ‘23. My gal and I enjoyed it and are going to stay with it, but we both thought it is not just influenced by, but in large part exactly the same as “Difficult People,” not just due to the main couple but also the “other gay…

Technically means “born”

No, Shauna did not name her baby goat Bruce, he had that name already when he was given to her. 

First! Wait,  what?

I noticed that while Shiv asked Ken and Roman why they hadn't brought her in sooner,  in fact Tom had tried to call her first but she ignored his incoming calls. 

If you watched the post-show episode breakdown,  one of the writers (I think) characterized Shiv's turning him down as her claiming a small bit of power.
