I think the "letting an episode stand on its own" method makes sense, but it's kind of unfair when the reviewer loves one show and hasn't seen the other. There's obviously going to be a bias.

Yeah, OITNB is a good example of what I'm talking about. The discussion of that show never died down. I still hear people catching up with and talking about the first season. Then again, maybe that's because of the model OITNB is released in (and OITNB didn't really premiere to a lot of hype).

I don't think it's really a backlash. Most of these people disliked the show as it was airing. Sometimes, people just don't like things, even if lots of other people do like them. Crazy, right?!

"We watched 5 minutes of an actual episode" more or less sums up your credibility to be insulting the show.

A lot of people I know said that they couldn't stand Suzanne and Taystee this season. Both were certainly acting in unlikable ways for much of the season but at the same time, I completely understood why they were doing so. Vee manipulated them incredibly well by getting down to their greatest fears and pretending to…

Something about True Detective just really irritates me and I don't know what it is.

It's weird how everyone stopped talking about True Detective. Typically when a show is as hype-y as that you have people discussing it, catching up with it ect during the off-season. But as soon as True Detective ended it went from being The Lord Jesus's Gift To Television to….nothing.

I meant in the narrative of the story. I get what he was doing in that episode but I don't think it translated all that well into the romance story that the arc turned into.

The Mad Men one was blanked out for me, but the one in So Did the Fat Lady was clear as day. I didn't notice one in the second episode tonight but I might have just missed it.

There was an unbleeped "fuck" in So Did the Fat Lady too. And yet, in Elevator Part 1, which aired the very next half-hour, they bleeped it.

The show hasn't been renewed yet, has it? I'm sure it will be but I feel like typically FX renews their shows before their current seasons end. I hope there's nothing holding back a renewal.

These episodes definitely felt like a "FINE, HERE" to all of the "not funny anymore!!!!" complaints.

I don't know if it's rape but it's definitely uncomfortable and some form of sexual harassment. I wish he had addressed it more in these episodes.

The Pamela arc was pretty easily the weakest of the season. I don't want to come down too hard on it because it gave us some great things, like Pamela goofing around with Louie's daughter and the fantastic modern art museum sequence, but it just never quite came together for me. Kind of a bummer but still a really…

I really like Ozymandias, actually. That said, it's going up against Mad Men's The Strategy, which I might like even better.

Hannibal vs. Broad City is enough of a fucked up mash-up as is.

I really hope Ozymandias loses the episode tournament and we get to witness the tears of angry Breaking Bad fanboys once again.

Because heaven forbid there's one corner of this Earth where Breaking Bad is #2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sad that Broad City and Bob's Burgers are going to get destroyed because of rather unfortunate pairings.

Really? That shitty CGI beehole scene on Parks made a best-of list?
