Granted, Sit Down, Shut Up! was an old pilot from before Arrested Development that Fox picked up way later.  I'm hoping those were just Mitchell Hurwitz biding his time with stuff he didn't really care about while putting all his effort into funding and writing Arrested Development.  A man can dream, can't he?

@avclub-d324a0cc02881779dcda44a675fdcaaa:disqus They showed the Jay sues Dante episode first (which is the fourth one), and then showed the second episode which made no sense because all the callbacks were to the pilot.

A gentlemen never tells.

Can I go with all of it?  Going with all of it.

Clicked on this article just to see the Big Butt Book picture.  Left incredibly satisfied.

Uh… do you not remember the ending of Skytanic where they spend the entire time lampshading the dialogue during and the act of getting rid of the bomb as a hamfisted metaphor for Lana and Cyril's relationship?  It's not like the show breaks fourth wall all the time, but they've certainly done it before.

Except for the part where the Clerks cartoon was hilarious, and this just looks unbearable.

Do people actually have their labias snipped?  What's the damn point?

Your first problem was in thinking that Reese's Pieces could improve anything.

By this logic, no comedian should ever make any comment about any politician ever.  What a fallacy.  I'm not going to Jimmy Fallon because I want an in-depth look at the world around me and nonpartisan reporting, and the fact that you're trying to argue that anyone who wants to talk politics needs to be fair and…

Yeah, Zodiac nailed it.  Saints Row is the Crank movies in video game form, to the point where in the last one you could pretty easily get the ability to jump out of a helicopter without a parachute and live.  Hell, I've spent the last two games creating Jason Statham in the character creator to make it even more like…

No offense dude, but your wife sounds like she fucking sucks.

Trio. :'(

I've always been a big fan of doing highlights for episodic shows as opposed to just watching the whole thing.  My friends basically got me into TNG this way.  Sure, I could've started from the pilot and gone from there or whatever, but I think I made off pretty well starting the series with Tapestry and Darmok.

Yeah, improvisational genius sounds a lot like the Brett Ratner we all know and love.

The more I think about it, the more I start to wonder if they really will kill off one of the kids so Jax can have his John Teller "my son just died" crisis of conscience moment and truly become his father.  It would be so goddamn obvious and unnecessary, which is why I'm now completely convinced that this is what's…

Why wouldn't it?  Clay and Tig totally have that kind of father-son relationship, far more so than Clay and Jax.  That's how their dynamic has always struck me, at least, which would explain why Tig has been getting so upset about Clay supposedly keeping him on the outside this season.

I'm not so sure about the pet thing.  Remember their almost-fucking in Season 2?  Now, granted, Gemma was all kinds of mental from the rape, but that and some of the Tig/Gemma moments from early on last season really make me wonder what exactly's going on with that relationship.

In on it in the sense that he knows Clay will kill her to keep JT's murder a secret, yes, but he's not part of the plan.  Part of the drama last week was Clay figuring out that Unser planted the note in Tara's car so that everyone would be on red alert and Clay wouldn't get the opportunity.

It certainly makes sense along those lines, but it's still asking the viewer to make a bunch of leaps in logic when, as others have said, the club has been shown to be (seemingly) rather progressive in the past.  This is an arc that needed to be eased into, actually let the characters establish that there might be…
