I was a little scared to watch it because that title set my expectations really high, but (spoiler alert) Oh damn, oh damn, oh damn!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

We kept trying to remember where we had seen Sterling K. Brown before -- we don't watch This Is Us, but I decided that we had seen the commercials often enough that that must be why he seemed so familiar.

Well duh, we saw Black Panther again on Friday, and he's N'Jobu, Killmonger's father. My memory is a damn sieve.

He was Gordon on Supernatural! I had to IMDb to realize that, but I think that's actually where I know him from. Or at least where I first noticed him.

He was! And he was on Army Wives after that, I think, and The People vs OJ Simpson, which won him awards as I recall.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I did it! I caught all the way up to Will Shortz! Victory!

So, what show gets better and better through five seasons?

Amazing, right? Maybe that's why it's hard for me to believe this is the 5th season.

So, that was a good episode and all, fun that they had Melissa Fumero's husband on, but I kept trying to read the answers on the giant puzzles in the background and at least the Beans on Toast puzzle had some questionable answers. Octa? Maybe. TDDO? Come on.

That's why they couldn't have Will Shortz play himself.

They couldn't just blow up some old real puzzles? I suppose there's copyright issues.

Community would have had more jokes hidden in the answers, just sayin.

Our wings are not tired.

We finished Season 1 of The Good Place last night. Did not see that coming! Yes, we begin S2 tonight. I anticipate it going quickly.

I say this all the time, but Ted Danson deserves a damn Emmy just for That Laugh alone. You know the one.
