Hard agree that Lindsay as Gretchen’s mom was the best part. Personally it was the funniest episode of the season so far. But that might change with Becca and Vernon (and hopefully Paul?) next episode.

Uh, how do you know he used his suicide scare for attention? Pretty bold claim there.
James McEvoy? Come on now!
Did anyone else notice that is seemed there was more Kyle Mooney in this episode than all previous episodes this season combined?
I’d be happy to see Che go as well.
I’d be happy for the Jost era of the program to end.
Agreed. I’ve always loved following SNL but there’s been so much ugliness this season so far — Lorne using Pete Davidson as his cash cow ticket into the instagram generation, all the Alec Baldwin-Trump sketches being embarrassing in how constantly undercooked and first-drafted they are, Colin Jost being an entitled…
I’m team OldGreg, but I’m very firmly with Nathaniel over NuGreg.
I think the fact that Rebecca has more chemistry with old Greg than new Greg doesn’t help.
Whenever I see that I think of Happy Endings and feel sad. But - is that saying actually from anywhere else, or is it just Happy Endings fans who keep it in circulation?
I commented that I didn’t think about Santino at all last week, so I thought I was over the actor change. But it turns out that’s because a lot of Greg’s interaction in the last episode was with Nathaniel, who original-Greg had never interacted with, so it was all new.
What’s a hot mess pretzel made of?
Killer delivery from Scott Michael Foster on “Water polo” and many other things, actually. Great episode for him, too.
There is something soooooo sexist about men *angrily* complaining that women ‘should just shut up and be grateful they have their jobs’. Heigl is not by any means the only female celebrity subjected to this abuse. What makes this complaint ‘special’ is its is exclusively leveled at women. Has anyone ever told Jim…
Caroline didn’t forget it! She wrote a whole article about it.
Oof. SO MUCH good stuff, I’m not sure I could narrow it down to 5. Off the top of my head, I’d have to say:
The idea that an actor should be grateful to a movie is so bizarre and alien to me. I’m not grateful to my employer just for employing me.
Cory Finley’s script for “Thoroughbred” back when it was a stage-play explicitly references “The Giving Tree” in spots, and I think it was smart of him to take that out when he made it into a film. And I did not expect to bring that up when I clicked on this article.
It really says something about this show that this episode opens with Archie somehow employed by the Canadian Government in their Forestry Services division without ANY explanation as to how this came to be and neither the review nor any of the comments mention this.
I know I should really let this go at this point in the show’s run, but seriously...what are the Serpents, exactly? Is it just a slightly cooler Elks Lodge? Are they all literal homeless orphans? Are there still adults in this gang? There were previously, right? Is it that they defected to the Gargoyles after a child…
