it has the cadence of a bad high school essay, the way it goes in circles and puffs things up

also the crew’s discontent with the pilot made more sense when I read David Silverman’s style guide — there’s so much all-caps emphasis on making the characters emote *less* and to derive humor from vacant stares and underplaying

this was a great read and perfectly articulated the things that make this season special

“Moaning Lisa” was the first time i saw a show portray a child being depressed in a way that felt realistic and un-rationalized and it kind of blew my mind as a kid

it was a big ol’ nothing outside of the open
