I can't put my finger on why I have such an aversion to Ravi being a zombie - I absolutely think they could make it work and still maintain the fun in Liv and Ravi's dynamic, and yet it feels very wrong. Even if it doesn't suck the life out of him, even if he still stays the same old Ravi (though most of the good…

That kind of happened to me, too, except I thought he was just playing his twin, and it was incredible because my internal monologue was 'WOW, Will Forte has some SERIOUS RANGE, that looks like a whole OTHER PERSON' and that kind of carried on until I saw Jason Sudeikis' name in the credits and I thought 'Wait who did…

Phil/Tandy's not rational. Plus, I guess, I'm going by my own standards. If I'm going to be spending at least two days walking I'm probably going to need more than two day good supply. There's very little else to do, in a place like that. One would probably end up eating just out of boredom.
To summarize, the reason…

I really appreciate that Phil realizing how great Carol is didn't end up also being a thing of realizing Melissa is Not So Great. It's a weak way to make everything work out in the end - to say that the less 'ideal' girl (Carol, going by Phil/Tandy's initial perception of her) ends up being The One, at the expense of…

The show is, in fact, condemning Phil/Tandy for being a legitimate creep. Like, full-on creep. Finds-two-women-alive-and-endeavours-to-keep-their-existence-a-secret-from-the-only-known-form-of-civilisation-left-on-earth-so-he-can-sleep-with-them creep.…

I think these two episodes feel like they should have happened earlier. There's a bulk of episodes that kind of feel like they all told the same story - essentially the show just REPEATEDLY drove home the point that Phil is a very lonely man, and it's manifested in this ugly way where he's dishonest, selfish, greedy…

I think I'd agree if the show hadn't made some efforts last season to bring him out of the realm of irrelevance, into the realm of vague relevance. This season kind of feels like a regression, which is what bugs me - if there'd been no effort made in season 5 to explore who he is after 4 seasons of just really bizzare…

I've watched plenty of shows that have declined in quality and I don't think any hurt me more than Heroes. Season 1 remains one of my favourite seasons of television. It's hugely nostalgic and was probably my first experience of really, truly loving a show. I remember watching the first episode at my aunts house,…

I hope they reference that in the show - not even too frequently, just little reminders every now and then that Terry thinks Jake's head is tiny. (I love that he really does view Jake as a kid most of the time. Like, he respects the guy, and that he's good at his job, but I also think he really, really meant it when…

I think one of my favourite things about this show is off-screen dialogue. Last week with Amy and Gina saying 'Gross' and 'Ew' in the background as Jake left Gina's apartment (I forget entirely what Boyle said to make them react that way, my attention was pretty focused on how disgusted they sounded), and this week,…

I think BMO's hesitation at the end has more to do with the fact that he didn't actually succeed in bringing Jake back, and had ended up needing to go somewhere else to revive him.

I'm at the point where I don't necessarily dislike the rest of the show, but if they just based every episode around Mindy and Danny having weird new adventures together, I'd be down. They play off eachother so well. (Molestation joke was definitely too far though.)

I knew. I KNEW.
Goddamn.

I think everyone's tired of shows doing that. There is a strong over-reliance on romantic plotlines simply existing in a story, as opposed to existing because it WORKS, and it's everywhere, and typically very boring. It rarely seems to be done with any real heart, which is hardly the way to approach anything in…

Santiago aiming her gun at the floor while the rats scurried around was wonderful. There's so much great background humour in this show, and a lot of it is things Santiago does, even if it's just pulling a face in reaction to another characters antics. Episodes are worth rewatching for background-Santiago alone.

Regardless of whether you accept that the premise of the show means that it will never really avoid being problematic, if you need to step back, you need to step back. Blackface has a long and unproud, very problematic, VERY RACIST history. No one is required to stick with a show that has utilized blackface. No one…

I'd say watch from the beginning, Even nine seasons in, it goes by fast. It's 13 episodes or less, twenty minutes a piece (with, I think, one exception, being the Christmas episode). You could watch a season within a day and it would only kill a few hours at the end of it. It's one of the fastest marathon-ing…
