Just finished this last night. The season got better as it progressed. I really enjoyed the last few episodes, and the finale was very satisfying in where it left its characters (though I hope there's more to come from them). Goodman felt a little underused at times, partly cause he's just so good. I would have liked to have more of him, but I don't know if I'd add more of him at the expense of the other characters' stories.

That misbehaving song was way too catchy.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

She’s my favorite part of this show. My favorite scene was when BJ says “I’ve changed,” then slowly turns his head to reveal his earring.
So good.

This has to go another season right? Its too fucking good. This show hits a lot of emotional elements while always honoring its fucking humor. I just love it.

I’m through E5 and just dropped in to say...

My favorite line so far - not because it’s all that funny in and of itself, but more in the context of the scene and overall character interaction (not to mention Goggins’ delivery) - “That is a ninja star with a booger on it.”

Cassidy Freeman was in a great series called Longmire. I think only me and bada watched it. You should check it out even if it is just for her, but you'll end up enjoying the show.
