I hope Season 2 is all about the teenagers, because in the S01 finale everyone except the people who are not old enough to vote get raptured. And the twins reign as kings over a new, sexier world where "barely legal" is nothing more than a concept from boringer, less fun days. At least until the first reach the age of…

Yeah, it's nice to see the show's efforts weren't all in Wayne.

Not sure what to say. Filming was gorgeous, Steven Zoiderbergh is the rare case of a DP who employs his hand camera quite well and in physically noticecable service of his storytelling. Even the exterior shots only neglectably look like the greenscreen calvacades they sure have to be.

I was very much on the bandwaggon with this show until this episode. Noticing we are seven episodes in might be the worst part of not-so-suddenly realizing that this show does away with one of the most fundamental rules of television: To give the viewer a good reason to watch the next episode or season. Keep him…

I feel this season deserves it's "Fuck you, The Killing!!1"

As the wisest person on TV, "Clarissa" of course "knows it all", and her answer (not necessarily to that question, but very much possibly so) would only be "FEEEEEEEERGUSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOON!"

The level of detail even seeps into the little, seemingly irrelevant cracks of sound editing, with all these inane cartoony sound effects idiosyncratic of reality tv shows. It's all in the details, like how they got that slightly blurry, bloomly lit quality of 90's teenage melodramas down, or even in the plotting (and…

Yeah, with all their siphoned white wine (Reminded me how Broad City did a similar thing with hand lotion around the same time that episode broadcasted). Weren't they throwing snack pretzels at the swimmers?

The thing is, I cannot for my life stand fish, or any seafood, at. all. This skit always grossed me out in a very special way. I always thought "Well, maybe, if you are totally into tuna fish, I don't know, this would be like a five-stack-patty-monstroburger?!"

Oh shit I totally forgot (!) about EL-AAAYYY DEL-AYYYYYYYYY. In Marina Del Ray. Well, technically not IN Marina Del Rey, but…

Andrew Braughers character, as written and performed, cannot be underrated. I adore Terry Crews as much as anyone else (And he arguably had the biggest laugh of the episode with his japanese flashback), but Andrew Braugher somehow, stoically always takes the cake. And that's saying something, even in times accustomed…

I do not have a single substantially thing to contribute to this "thing" that brought me to finally, actively participate in the comments on this site I had long since been reading in the first place. Except to say that I think that it's really cool to come to this place week after week after week and always finding…

I think it went the way of the Rake Effect with me. I first found it "amusing", then tiresome, and now I think it's hilarious. I can't explain why that's the case, exactly, but they did some only peripherically tuna-centric stuff like hecklering that author at her lecture in the newer episodes.

"LET'S SMOKE BLUUUNTS!"
Hah, what a sendoff for a quite glorious season. S1 didn't always "click" with me, and it took some time just to build what I think van der Werff called "a reality tv nightmarescape", but season 2, also with replacing the meh-ish stand up skits with short scenes of kroll and the crew riffing, I…

'tis to be called "The Smelltale Fart".

This was, due to the time delay, actually a nice follow-up to True Detective. Somehow, the cynicism of The Following always outdid itself, went full circle and became comedy, compared to True Detectives possibly strongest asset - the mood of isolation, ambivalently cruel and idillyc nature and an intriguing concept of…

Negging. From Ryan's part.

Absolutely agreed.

Oh boy, those two scenes with the Knock-Off-Skeletor-Mask had me laughing throughout. This episode actually was kind of a hoot in terms of talking bullshit the characters COULD say over the actual scenes. Like when poor Ben Linus' Dad says something to the effect of "I am super duper ultra crazy, guys!" and just…

I have to say that I occansionally struggle with keeping up with the dialogue, mostly because I need to talk about how stupid that thing that just happened was.
