Robert Duvall is someone whose conservatism I have no problem with. I would actually be disappointed if he was liberal. It's like how Beck being a Scientologist makes perfect sense and I don't hold it against him.

I usually like these clips, but Billy seemed like even more of a prick than usual. If a person is being as game as possible and trying to give you thoughtful answers in a high-pressure situation, maybe don't mock her right to her face for her efforts.

You puff herb? Dawg, I smoke weed too
You chief cheeba? Ay yo, dawg, me too!

These geniuses could have just not put "Harvard" in the name of their group. Of course, like any Harvard man, they can't resist taking every opportunity to remind everyone that they go to Harvard.

Sol is my favorite Mexican beer. But, like Corona, they have those goddamn clear bottles, so it's a gamble sometimes.

I love his aggressive-defensiveness whenever his incompetence is called out. I'm sad that we only get him in small doses.

There's been a lot of singing this season (and I'm a few eps beyond this one), but I'm still waiting for something to come close to the quality of Outside Bones. I forget what episode it's from, but the Meemaw Song is my favorite so far this season.

Coming from a family that gamed the Columbia House free tape system to the max (I think we signed our cats up at one point), I really love the continued Columbia House jokes. This show has a great touch with '90s nostalgia that doesn't feel like they're trying too hard.

She gets Westeros Nile Virus from swallowing flies.

Cersei's main threat is that she's willing to do some fucked up shit. Wild card, bitches.

Abbreviated season makes sense after seeing this trailer. Probably going to be expensive battle setpieces in every episode. Goddamn, I am ready.

I'll sometimes come across a suspect-looking "real truth" type of media story from one of these fringe outlets, and I read it, and I take the time to attempt to verify the claims made in the story, and it's always some flavor of bullshit. The top Google hit is often Snopes.

Honestly, it would be pretty fucking cool.

I feel like there's a George Saunders story in here somewhere.

It left me wondering if it was just a one-time bang before she goes back to Italy, or if they're gonna make a go of it, and if so, how they manage turning the idealized fuck-it-all love festival into an actual sustainable relationship. Not a cliffhanger in the sense of someone hanging off an actual cliff, but the

I found myself wishing he'd just do a straight anthology series instead of trying to create larger through-stories. I personally don't care about the professional and romantic troubles of someone who's remarkably charming and employable. The best moments of S2 were tangential to the main stories.

That final shot of S2 doesn't make sense as anything but a cliffhanger for S3, so maybe he has no one but himself to blame if interviewers are curious about it. You're a creator of a popular piece of entertainment. People are going to ask about it. Chill out.

If you find yourself in the Duluth area, I recommend Lake Superior Brewing Co. Kayak Kolsch. Yeah, it has three Ks in it, but it's probably not a klan thing.

Good stuff, Jost. Following up a joke about violently assaulting people based on fashion choices with a joke about prison rape. Did '80s Eddie Murphy write those for you?

There's currently a rivalry between two princes to determine who will rule when the old-ass king dies soon-ish. The younger prince is considered more "modern," but I'm thinking "modern" in Saudi Arabia means maybe they'll stop stoning women for driving and they'll just use a few small sticks.
