Exactly — given the time frame, it was implied that Pipilok invented all those filmmaking techniques. And craft services!

Also holds the record for most consecutive days featured on the A.V. Club homepage. His performance of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" a few years back was just one click away for 386035183940735122905653 days in a row.

Have you seen Ex Machina? Son of a gun can dance, too. I think I might hate him (not really).

Those lyrics are hilariously on the nose (or, rather, on the vagina).

Thanks — probably everyone doesn't see it that way, but this episode ends on a "down but not out" semi-hopeful arc for the main character.

Loving the wonkiness of this show (gifts of blueprints and framed legislation! A story arc that hinges on public space design!) but I'm not finding the acting to be anything near uniformly excellent, unfortunately. John (the young father in prison) is in a glass case of emotion, and Nick's wife (name escaping me at…

That's close enough to a spoiler to flag.

A line I've repeated now and again: Ralph shows Potsie a nude lifestyle magazine they've come across during some innocently clandestine activity, and Potsie, wide-eyed, says "Wow, imagine what a sweater would look like on THAT!"

No problem. It really did confuse me through most of the article, because I was fairly sure he was at least well into his 60s, and the timeline just wasn't working out.

That's all well and good. The point, though, is that if you take the writer's mistake as truth, Lemmy would be 60, not 70, and would therefore not remember Bill Haley. Most of the interview, including his early memories of music, passes before his true age is alluded to.

Which matters when he says things like "I remember Bill Haley" and I'm all, like, "nuh uh"….

It's not merely the drawing of lines, but how the lines are drawn. Any straight line on a map not agreed to by the indigenous populations is asking for trouble — not only do they separate people from their resources and families, they ignore the geographic boundaries around which cultural differences developed, and…

I did, you lost.

What I read is contempt for the job, contempt for herself for being there, and anger at her brother for the chain of events that led to her being there. And this is no bustling market — the set design of the store makes clear that it is a terribly depressing environment in which to work. I suppose the answer is the…

Mirroring — after their brief makeout session, Tawney rests her head on Teddy's shoulder and heaves a "big ol' sigh" reminiscent of the moment his teenage conquest gave in to him. Except this time it's followed by Tawney saying she needed to leave, and Teddy (now being the one in the truck with no fight left) letting…

If you have to provide backstory, having William Hurt deliver it is the way to go. I was not bored.

So many of the characters are coping with tremendous pain, but Teddy and Tawney are so vulnerable towards each other, they're almost terrified. I wish their scene together had been at the end of the episode — it overwhelmed everything that came after.

For a show that's so purposefully slow-moving, to me it just flies by. Totally agreed about Clayne Crawford — he's great.

Should I ice her? Should I marry her? Which one-a these?

Worthy sentiment, but it's not possible to be a better ex-president than Carter.
