"I DRIFTED OFF TO SLEEP TO THE GENTLE RUMBLING OF DISTANT THUNDER." THAT SEEMS UNTURBULENT.

LET'S GET DRUNK!!

I'M WITH YOU ON THIS. FOR ME, THE BOOK ISN'T ABOUT "STYLISTIC GYMNASTICS," IT'S ABOUT GRIEF AND LOSS. IT'S ABOUT A YOUNG MAN WHO LOSES HIS PARENTS AND HAS TO RAISE HIS YOUNG BROTHER AND WHO TRIES TO HOLD OFF HIS GRIEF THROUGH FRANTIC, MANIC DENIAL. JUST ABOUT EVERY PAGE OF THE BOOK IS ABOUT STRENUOUSLY TRYING TO…

SO WE'VE HAD LIKE 150 COMMENTS ON A WHITE STRIPES ARTICLE BEFORE SOMEBODY MENTIONED MEG'S BREASTAGE? THE AV CLUB IN DECLINE . . .

LOOK HARDER.

DAMN STRAIGHT, HERO.

COME ON, SHEEPLE. LET'S NOT TOE THE LAMESTREAM MEDIA LINE-EVERYBODY KNOWS THOSE ISIS MOTHERFUCKERS KILLED PRINCE.

I'M A BIG FAN OF THE NICK/JESS CHEMISTRY, BUT HAVING THEM ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED IS JUST LAZY/CLICHED. HEY, TV CREATORS, COULD WE JUST DECLARE A MORATORIUM ON "WILL THESE TWO CHARACTERS GET TOGETHER?" ARCS UNTIL SOMEBODY CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THAT TROPE FRESH AND ENTERTAINING?

DID THEY HAVE A TIE-IN WITH THE BIG SHORT? BECAUSE I'D BE ALL ABOUT A TIN WITH CHRISTIAN BALE'S MUG ON IT.

I THINK YOU'RE THINKING OF SOMETHING ELSE, MOTHERFUCKER.

CALL ME A PURIST, BUT IF YOU HAVE TO STUDY UP TO TALK ABOUT YOUR HATESONG, THEN IT REALLY SHOULDN'T COUNT AS A HATESONG.

SORRY. IT'S MY AESTHETIC.

HEY, MAN, I'M TYPING AS QUIETLY AS I CAN.

I'M WITH YOU BROTHER! THAT'S WHAT I DEMAND FROM MY SIT-COMS, TOO: STRICT REALISM WITH REGARD TO REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS AND AVANT-GARDE CUTAWAYS TO BABY REACTIONS.

I'VE SEEN COMMENTERS SAY THIS WAS A FILLER EPISODE, AND I'M JUST GOING TO COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH THEIR EVERY PREMISE. TO ME, IT'S THE SERIALIZED ELEMENTS ON THIS SHOW THAT ARE TEDIOUS AND CRINGE-WORTHY: CAN WE JUST STOP TRYING TO ADVANCE THESE CHARACTERS' GODDAMN RELATIONSHIPS AND SPEND MORE TIME HAVING WINSTON…

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. THE WINSTON-JESS MATERIAL WAS GOLDEN - EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE EPISODE SEEMED LIKE AN AFTERTHOUGHT.

I WENT TO A GENDER-FLIPPED UNIVERSITY PRODUCTION OF "R&G," BUT FOR SOME REASON IT WAS ALSO SET IN NICARAGUA RATHER THAN DENMARK. EVERYBODY IN THE CAST WAS ANGLO, BUT THEY WERE DECLAIMING SHAKESPEARE IN ABSURDLY BAD LATINO ACCENTS. JUST GOOFY.

MAYBE IT'S "STATED":
