While I’m here: I don’t understand the complaints that Keeley is being reduced to her sexuality this season. She’s had more than one important moment of growth as the head of her PR company. She had to fire a good friend for doing bad work, and she had to discipline a coworker for being inappropriate in the office.

A lot of the messages this episode felt forced, I’ll definitely grant that. But I still don’t understand the dislike of the romantic arcs. Football isn’t a necessary component of personal development. What we’re watching is Ted’s impact on these people as it widens into the world and reverberates back to him.

Well, that completely sucked. I can’t believe Hank saved Cristobal from torture and death only to have to kill him (by proxy) in the end. Their relationship mirrors the Barry/Sally dynamic so much now that I’m nervous about how Sally is going to exit the picture.

Yeah, one of the themes of the show seems to be “be careful what you wish for.” Hank is tough and miserable. Sally is famous and miserable. Fuches has his prison crew now but had to be beaten nearly to death to get it. It’ll be interesting to see how Barry fucks up his ideal life with Sally and son. It probably won’t

Yeah, I totally get what you’re saying. But there are different ways of acquiring assets. You could neg someone and have them eating out of your hand, for example. Instead, Jack is giving gifts and making grand gestures that prove she’s listening to Keeley’s tastes and desires. Even if the objective is just to acquire

This review doesn’t even make internal sense, but other commenters have made that point better than I could. Instead:

I don’t think there’s a keyboard shortcut for it. I normally copy/paste what I want to quote, start typing things in, click the little “Aa” formatting dropdown bar, then highlight the text and click the little “quote” button:

This tender moment which, I’ll admit, I groaned at given the way Colin (in true “LGBTQ Representation Matters!” way) manages to ground his sexual identity in a romantically codified stricture—all he wants is a fella he can kiss like the guys do their gals!”

Your comment is a better review than the review. Thank you for providing some context and analysis that we (or at least I) would have missed otherwise.

I don’t know. Bill Hader has spoken openly about the massive anxiety he felt as an SNL cast member. Even if Barry is about nothing other than his imposter syndrome, I think he’s processing something through the show. And I suspect it’s a lot more: expectations of masculinity, fear of hurting people you love, the

If I have one complaint about these two episodes, it’s that they feel like set up for more substantial episodes later in the season. But the way these characters are spinning out from the violence Barry introduced into their lives is riveting.

If Beyoncé doesn’t win the Best Album award specifically, then there is clearly a hateful conspiracy against her because she’s *checks notes* the curatorial messiah of a misunderstood generation. Is that right? Did I do good?

Thank you! Please copy and paste this comment on every “they weren’t mad enough!” article at the A.V. Club from now on. It is pure gold.

Can we also acknowledge the context of this? Yahoo!Entertainment asked Cox what he thought of similarly equivocal statements about Singer on the set of X2 made by Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman.

1. I would watch the shit out of a Romy and Michele sequel.

I’m honestly glad to see that other people here don’t like Beyonce’s music. I’ve never thought she was that great (not exactly true: I loved Single Ladies when it came out), but I try not to say that for fear of accusations of passive racism.

Like, everybody Disney? Even Mickey?

It’s as if (many) male celebrities are spoiled man babies who don’t know how to deal with conflict and are emotionally unstable because of their substance abuse problems. Fame isn’t for everyone, maybe.

Donald Glover, obviously.

But there should be.
