The Biden "State of the Union" finale was painful....

Just brutal.....this show needs major changes.....worst it's ever been including the early 80s Jane D year

Elordi goes down in the pantheon of All-Time Bad SNL Hosts with Milton Berle, Joe Montana, Steven Seagal etc

Pretty bad overall imo....but I'll give them the first time out this year excuse.

I really dug how they made this ep sort of a "retro sci-fi" circa late '60s Manson murders, "2001" etc Thought was a cool choice. Aaron Paul was awesome as usual. My favorite ep of this season easily.

First ep this season I didn't really feel it.....maybe the Bruins OT loss put me in a foul mood before I watched this tonight. Just seemed more of the same..... nothing really new or interesting (for me anyway) seemed to transpire on tonight's ep.

Good to see this back......think it's going to be a strong season

Worst. Resort. Evah.

I guess '80s music is now the de facto soundtrack for sci-fi series now. Pretty sure that was The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" being played instrumentally on the carousel scene. Kind of weird that there are a fair amount of malls in America today that look like that one did.

Imagine watching "The Goodbye Girl" during a fungi apocalypse? Little slower tonight, which is fine....

Good ep overall although not much seemed to happen moving the bigger picture. Liked the interplay between Joel and Ellie....gaining chemistry between them.

Dear God, that was a mostly unfunny mess last night....SNL has been good at times this season....last night was brutal.

Bill has really bought into the "higher education is useless" bs that conservatives have been pushing lately. Tafoya is a former sports broadcaster....she was usually the reporter down on the field during football games. Looks like she is reinventing herself as a conservative gadfly....she's been on some different Fox shows lately like Gutfeld etc. She was particularly loathesome last night, she'll fit right in at Fox and other right-wing outlets. Begala brought up some great points I thought....his brand of policies, sort of center-left, is a winning one politically speaking imo.

Yeah, the guy playing Dr J was their first real misstep in casting. They are also portraying Bird as a Neanderthal....only allowing him to grunt a word or two in any scene he is in.

The two towns should actually be flip-flopped (in terms of how they are portrayed anyway).....Mattapoisett is a much more white collar enclave than Plainville is. The Roys are sort of "rough around the edges" but they are fairly successful in their businesses. It's actually kind of interesting, not sure if this in anyway played into Michelle's issues, but Plainville is seen as sort of the "poor cousin" in the King Philip regional school system. The other 2 towns in it, Norfolk and Wrentham, are seen as the more desireable towns to live in.
