Plus, my wife thinks Charles's visits to the White Room are funnier than anything she's seen on TV in the last ten years except maybe the Dr. Rick campaign and Pedro Pascal's coma sketch on SNL. So it hits me on the micro AND macro levels.

I -- an idiot who doesn't even attempt to pre-solve -- found the solution mighty satisfying, both in terms of clue sharpness/fair play and the emotional stakes for all involved. Streep and Rudd brought their actual A games and lifted everyone else. And "Look For The Light" was ROBBED of an Emmy.

I might agree if season 3 wasn't far and away my favorite?

"the answer to all this isn't going to be 'Trump is secretly a pedophile'"

I love TRANS. "Sample And Hold" is the first Neil Young song I ever heard (that i knew was him), leading to a VERY confused understanding of who he was for a very long time. His rework of "Mr. Soul" is in my Young top ten. Just a wild, gorgeous, funny album that I'm delighted to own on CD.

"Hey, you know that guy who's a high-pitched background screech in every minute of every day that you can't tune out no matter how hard you try? Well, we've added him to the thing you turn to when you want to get lost in for just a few blissful minutes and laugh."

He's basically The Ruiner, showing up out of nowhere to be the turd that your punchbowl never asked for. I hated him before, and I hate him a thousand times more now that Lorne has decided that he's the everything spice.

ROCKY HORROR also suggests that any singalong musical would be a winner, but that may be me not being able to see outside my own social bubble.

I actually can't speak to whether this is true, but I feel like the bro-comedy classics -- ANIMAL HOUSE, CADDYSHACK, THE HANGOVER, any of the Sandler and Ferrell dipshit oeuvre -- would go like gangbusters.

Do you want to get kidnapped and tortured by Annie Wilkes, Cait? Because this is how you get kidnapped and tortured by Annie Wilkes.
