Re: Saturday Night Live
I’d say that was an above average episode.
The Cruz Street opener was good and I liked the Three Sad Virgin pretaped piece. I think Loren has found another Lonely Island, giving them an early episode slot. Pete’s usually good in the video shorts but he’s gotten better in the live sketches this season. Cisely got some good airtime this week. I liked the man park sketch too.
Weekend Update was okay, the slide ups were better than the news jokes. Robot Comedian got a few laughs but Sarah Sherman was the best part of the segment. Slow start, I almost fast forwarded through but it turned out pretty good.
The other sketches felt like typical, middle of the road stuff with an occasional funny line/joke.
You can’t not mention Taylor Swift. She only had one song but it was the 10 minute All is Well. I admit I skip the musical performance as much as I watch them but that was fantastic and will be among the best of the season.

Re: Saturday Night Live
I thought Swift was fantastic. She has a voice.
Also, apologies, but i am just mesmerized by her beauty too. Geezes.
Thought the episode was a little meh though.

She's not a terrible songwriter, but her voice is a little plain.

3 Sad Virgins, Strange Kid Stories, Update were good and having Davidson as Joe Rogan was hysterical.
Too much Taylor Swift.
