The crocodile montage is my favorite part of that.

With that avatar, this screams "damage control."
I had to think about why I enjoyed the 2001-esque portions following the explosion and I realized it was largely to do with that brilliant Krzysztof Penderecki piece that played over them. It was so fucking intense and gave the images so much more gravity. Lynch is killing it on sound design.
All opinions aside, "If ______ was a/the _______ of a guy taking a shit, you'd all say it's brilliant!" is the laziest excuse for artistic dismissal going. Do try harder.
I still can't believe this was an episode of television. Thank you, David Lynch.
It was an oversight of those involved with post-production. And a fairly minor one. I didn't even notice!
A GIF to succinctly encapsulate Gloria's arc:
My favorite part of the episode was the dated downtempo/trip hop music following Lorraine around. It was so inextricably linked to her that it even emanated from her photograph. When the hitman removed her photo from that envelope and perfume commercial music started playing, I about fell off my couch laughing.
The Achewood fan in me can't help but love the idea of a cat named Ray. Oh, the life that cat is in for.
Yeah, I thought that was unfortunate as well. As soon as he started raising his voice at Francesca the moment she started having doubts, I figured they were using him as a plot device and checked out.
It's like they took all of the terrible supporting work from this season and tried to make up for it in one episode. Holy shit this was good.
Interesting scoring at AV Club this season. The lowest rated episode in the show's entire history on IMDb gets an A here (I loved that episode as well) and the highest rated show in the show's entire history (for now, with a 9.8) gets a B. FWIW, I've seen nothing but enthusiasm for this episode everywhere else.
This season is making me hungry af.
I was going to say this is a disastrous idea, but that band name is special.
If your entire goal for engaging with art is to get to the end of it, then yes, I suppose it must have seemed like an unnecessary episode. Personally, I think it made one of the most significant characters on the show stronger and easier to empathize with, which will pay off down the road. It also laid out some…
My favorite episode of the season and one of the show's best to date. An incredibly engrossing hour of television that was paced exceptionally well and actually accomplished quite a bit without forcing in huge set pieces. I guess I could see how someone could be impatient with it if their favorite characters aren't…
The LARP episode was pretty whatever for me, nothing special, although I did enjoy the Teddy subplot. I feel like I've seen enough Bob-and-Linda-go-on-vacation-and-piss-people-off episodes for a while.
God, I hope not. I like the possibilities allowed by Rick being virtually indestructible. It's also fairly plausible that he could come up with an ingenious, air-tight plan of escape in what appears to have been a long period of time, long enough to drive Summer insane.
Huh, this is the most I've disagreed with a score in a while. This was one of my favorite episodes of the season. Lots and lots of laughs, a plot with real stakes (hyperbolic though they may have been, the writers did a solid job of making Arson Daly a real threat for the oft-downtrodden Belchers) and I thought it…
Yeah, I actually preferred Aquaticism of the two. The first act was pretty quiet, but it built up steam quickly as most great BB episodes do.
