I know The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” has been used so much in sports arenas that it’s become almost cliche at this point . . . but it’s used that much for a reason.

I came to the comments to see if anyone would suggest this, though I’d probably choose “Sunday Bloody Sunday” on U2's “War” instead. That drum opening gets me every time!

Agreed with everything here, and I also think Mandy Moore in This is Us should have been nominated. She is the only actor that’s in both the past storylines and present storylines on that show, so she is basically the glue that holds that show together. She convincingly plays a 20-something, 40-something, and…

I agree; I was surprised to read this review say that Theo and Arabella were finding common ground in the support group. I wouldn’t be surprised to see another social media take-down directed at Theo.

Agreed, and also, why did no one suggest that they discuss the clinical trial with Rebecca’s doctor? Did I miss something? I guess Randall just assumes he knows better than her doctor, but why wouldn’t Kate or Kevin suggest it?

Cassidy’s husband annoyed the heck out of me. Cassidy hitting her son seemed to be clearly an accident, didn’t seriously hurt him, and she was immediately apologetic. Throwing her out of the house seemed like a huge overreaction, especially if her remorse made her finally realize she needed help. I guess maybe the…

I was confused — wasn’t Eve talking to Carolyn on the phone at the beginning when she said “I think I might have killed her”? If so, why didn’t Carolyn seem to know that Eve did find Villanelle at her apartment?

Excellent post, I totally agree. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who was a little disappointed with this season and frustrated that the show spent so much time on the love quadrangle. (And I love a good romance, but the show definitely didn’t try to make one guy stand out from the others as a leading contender.) I…

Thank you for calling out Beth for micromanaging Randall’s diaper changing. He has been annoying in a dozen different ways this season, but Beth contributed to this problem too. From this episode it seems like she takes some comfort in playing a martyr role and then making a passive-aggressive comment about it later.…

Oh yes, so many things about Kate’s storyline bother me. She’s hardly ever seen interacting with Randall’s kids, so it was surprising in the first place that Tess would come out to her. So, I would have liked to see her calling Tess more often and being a supportive aunt, rather than telling someone else and violating…

As ridiculous and annoying as I find the Randall election storyline, I found myself sympathizing with Randall in his argument with Beth.

Funny, I thought he looked like Grayson Allen. (Where my fellow CXG/college basketball fans at?)

Yeah, to me it looked like the glasses from the Season 2 convo with Larrick, and the wig from her Season 5 relationship with the agriculture guy.

Yeah, exactly. I knew there were a lot of abolitionist women, but I wondered if a woman would be able to run an Underground Railroad station on her own back then. A brief read through Wikipedia tells me there were women who did it alone. Looking forward to seeing more of Elizabeth with her new sewing circle!

Dang! Sorry to see John go; I liked him. And it also seemed useful to the plot to have a white male abolitionist character who could do things that other characters weren't able to do in this setting, so I'm pretty surprised they killed him off. And I was kind of interested to see John and Rosalee's bond grow once…

P & E are getting involved with this family of defectors because the father works with the Department of Agriculture and is giving them information about the Soviet Union. The food shortages in Russia, the montage of wheat fields, and this defector working on agriculture are going to tie together somehow, but the show…

This character was a real person, so I'm not sure it counts, but I love the name "Almanzo Wilder" in Laura Ingalls Wilder's books. Especially when his nickname is "Manly." Either name is ridiculously masculine, you'd think they were made up if you didn't know he was a real person. And when he saves the town in "The…

I have the same cultural associations for Cher and Only Have Eyes For You, but The Man Who Sold the World makes me think of Lane and Dave's first kiss on Gilmore Girls.

Yes, exactly my thoughts! Reminded me of the new X-Files episodes this year, trying to prove their cultural currency, when really that's not what the show's about.

Agreed. And maybe some "imitation take-out" type recipes.
