Speaking of Grantland, which I still read primarily for this guy: Greenwald loves the new Tina Fey/Ellie Kemper show out on Netflix today. I should get a chance to watch a couple episodes this weekend:

Kimmy Shcmidt is great. It's very Kenneth-Purcell-only-female spinoff, and Jenna Muroney (groan--I got super tired of her) is still there with a new name but the same face, in addition to very 30 Rock pace, feel and ambiance. But it's just too sharp and funny and likeable to get the least bit hung up on any of that.

It's super funny. Ellie Kemper has more depth to her than I knew. And Tituss and the landlord are both really great.

The Walking Dead just keeps getting better and better, ham-fisted Daryl/horse symbolism notwithstanding. The scene with Carol and the Cookie Monster was spectacular.

Yep.

Though they've got to cut it out with the vague speechifying. There's always some variant of that speech Jesse gave Rick - "things are different now, blah blah blah"

Also - I read what seemed like a decent explanation of the walls. Basic explanation was "stand on a spoon and it bends, hang from a spoon attached to the ceiling and the spoon is fine." Point being the supports' tensile strength would be greater than their compressive strength, if I'm phrasing that correctly. Doesn't address the issue of the supports being vulnerable to outsiders, but it made sense to me.

It's hilarious, Tina Fey's comedy is just perfect for me. I loved 30 Rock, and have really enjoyed the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

I'm surprised that it sat on the NBC shelf for so long before they sold it to Netflix, but I appreciate it.

Carol is really awesome being invisible. I hope for her sake she stays that way, at least in Alexandria. Glad Rick didn't wuss out and took the gun. After all Carol did for them, it would have been bad to not take it. Hopefully the president's son can get Sasha back on track.

And the walls... Someone w/ engineering or physics knowledge needs to explain to me why they went up that way. It must be correct, because the president's husband, who designed it, was some type of engineer or architect right?
