Kanye has always been brash, but he also used to be cool and confident instead of hot-headed and reckless, and his outbursts were rarer and inspired (see: post-Katrina Bush slam) than frequent and irritating (Taylor Swift). As a producer, he still rocks, but as a personality, he's grown dreadful and, frankly, a bit…

With all the Kanye references, it might have been a parody to "The New Workout Plan" on "The College Dropout", even though that song was a parody to what shallow, materialistic women need to do to snag an A-list actor, athlete, or at least a dude with a car.

I only caught the last ten minutes during the first airing (when the cheerleaders rejected Wendy in the gym during practice), but when Wendy sent her photoshopped image, I went, "hold on a minute. The episode's not ending like this, is it?" Sadly, yes it does, and WOW, what a wonderfully jarring way to end the…

It was still better than Iron Man 2. Now that was a colossal disappointment.

Man, I forgot about R.I.P.D. That shows how forgettable this wannabe Ghostbusters-meets-Men-in-Black hybrid really was. The acting is passable, but with such bland, humorless dialogue, nothing really stood out. It was just boring and unnecessary movie…but man, I'm still amazed at how cheap the CGI looks, despite the…

While not relevant to the overall discussion, hearing a Mass Effect song ("Leaving Earth" from Mass Effect 3) being used for next week's trailer gave me the biggest nerd boner in weeks. Now THAT was a twist I didn't see coming.

It's not all bad. James Hibbard does great recaps for Game of Thrones and his Dexter season 8 write-ups were hilariously self-deprecating. Dalton Ross still kills with Survivor, and Jeff Jensen can be great too, as long as he doesn't go overboard.

B-. The Mellie/Cyrus/James/Sally stuff (outside of the ending) was pretty good stuff, with Cyrus and James's falling out being the emotional high point. Alas, everything else seriously dragged the episode down.

I frequent both AVclub and EW.com. While there are some people who got a thrill from the episode, some of us were complaining about this episode's content. Hell, I was just about to link this review for the people who said that I should quit watching the show, because I didn't like where the plot was headed.

I'm surprised that no one brought up anything Katrina related as a real life counterpoint to what "rain" mentioned. For those of you who missed the recent news story, NOLA's forced to go through a re-trial of the cops who killed several innocent people during the height of the Katrina hysteria, because the prosecutors…
