The Florida Project not earning a Best Picture nomination strikes me as the biggest snub of the year, especially considering that the list didn’t even hit 10.

I’ve never found the lack of a Snow Crash adaptation particularly baffling — I always assumed Hollywood was just really bad at casting/unwilling to cast a half-black, half-Japanese actor in the lead role for a major sci-fi movie (and that Snow Crash wasn’t quite popular enough for them to whitewash it).
To me, this episode shows the clear transition for Hannah, psychologically, out of her NYC/'Girls'-era mindset. There's an easy line here about how if the show continued after this episode, it might have to be called 'Women'. I think without seeing, just for a moment, that new stage of Hannah's life as a reality…
This could coexist with David's head, right? I'm anticipating Walter meeting David.
Yeah, the blowback here is absurd. A few years ago, CAH got rid of a bunch of its "punch down" cards (Date rape, Passable tranvestites, etc.) and refocused on "punching up" (taking digs at power and privilege, instead). And the base deck is honestly a poor example of the game — the expansions they've done in recent…
Just get more cards. There are only so many combinations with the base deck, and many of them are pretty simple. When you start introducing weirder packs and expansions, the possible combinations expand ridiculously, and it stops being about "what a funny card!" and starts being about "what a clever way to use that…
"Which sized Rudy?" "Regular."
Goddamn if I don't lose my shit at every episode with Regular-Sized Rudy. He's an absolute treasure of the show. (Like so many other side characters in Bob's Burgers)
Bob's Burgers would be the other one for me.
Agreed. Shades of Twilight Zone's "A Nice Place to Visit" all over this. Maybe it's not "the Bad Place," but maybe the neighborhood is intended to foster growth for its residents, with intentionally flawed people paired up in ways that will help them develop into better people.
