I agree with your statement about Elektra's bloodlust - it was more interesting when it was a facet of her that was simply foreign to Matt's way of seeing the world, and something innate in her that drove them apart. To have it be all because of random mystical shenanigans really undid so many fascinating things about…

Also I BADLY want Gretchen's cult to be a running background joke in Season 3 - just like, news about it on the TV behind someone's head while they're talking about her being wildly successful at it, or news about them putting together a commune in Idaho or something.

I'd like to see Donna Maria show up more often than she does, although I understand that she's just not really shiftless and flighty like the younger women are - she just went right on back to working and making the most of what she has. The implication is that she would have been, what, late-twenties or in her…

I need this album in my life.

I mean, I am aware of them IRL and how disturbingly often they seemed to be coming up in the news for a while - but in Kimmy's absurdist world, we're really turning that up to eleven.

The photo they used at the top of the article is perfection. That still shot is basically my most vivid memory of this movie, which I found so traumatizing I've only seen it the once and never again.

I think that's the most I have loved Brandon's character. I hope we get at least a cameo of him in Season 3 struttin' around NY with his arm around Yuko's male variation.

ConCon is seriously the gift that keeps on giving. I never DON'T laugh at every single reference to it.

It's worth noting the sort of subtle running joke that has lasted for two seasons - in both there has been at least one episode where the disturbingly common nature of "bunker kidnappings" in the Kimmy universe is mentioned. In Season 1, Titus has trouble even finding the livestream of the trial online because there…

I mean, obviously I'm kind of throwing wild ideas out there without any confirmation on any of them, haha, so nothing I say is Gospel. But that's just something I had wondered about, and like you said - the change in tone and development kind of implied that they were stretching themselves a bit more to see what can…

There's been some implications (I haven't read anything outright stated, and if you've seen anything like this, let me know) that NBC wanted them to tone down any elements of physical or sexual abuse in the bunker because "COMEDY!"

Matthias is my favorite character on that show as far as the sheer complexity of his character. They did a great job writing a man who is simply in a terrible position - he's the police chief for a reservation population whose previous chief was a shockingly well-connected corrupt mafia boss of a man who was put away…

I think the general idea is that Lillian is an old hippie/activist from the 60's who spend most of her 20's and 30's literally blowing out her brain with drugs. I know women a LOT like her - and they are hilarious, but they are definitely missing a few screws thanks to the trashbags of LSD, acid, and shit they did…

ADD/ADHD is so intensely personal. I think the show isn't really commenting on kids who actual problems that medication can work with - it was commenting on the primarily upper-class-parents' desire to both utterly hand off any and all parenting responsibilities to nannies if possible and pills if nannies aren't…

I think it's a storyline that resonates pretty deeply with the generation of kids who WERE medicated into zombies - when Ritalin was originally prescribed, I knew more than a few kids who overnight went from off-the-wall clearly-needed-some-kind-of-assistance ot zombies who got their homework done but never remembered…

Which, really, if you think about it, is just the writers writing themselves an explanation for plot-convenient reanimations.

Eventually, we find out that the government's living underneath the Denver Airport.

I think I fell off the couch laughing at her slowly realizing her "skirt" was palazzo pants.

My husband has ADD and actually had to get up and leave the room during this episode because it was basically bringing up flashbacks to when his parents medicated him into a zombie as a kid. I kept telling him, "This isn't the kind of show that says this is okay, there's going to be a moment where she realizes this…

I don't think we have any reason to believe Titus keeps ANY of his purchases within careful economic constraints.
