Great news! I hope S2 gets more than 6 episodes.
Oh - I'm heading down to Atlanta on Thursday for DragonCon, so, someone please go ahead and post the new thread after episode 5 airs, I probably won't get a chance to see it until Monday or Tuesday.

Yeah, this will be my 10th consecutive year at DragonCon, it's a blast. (Here's my 2018 flickr album, if you want to see a range of cosplay)

As a former two semeter Shakespeare student, I was super impressed with the meters in the Rome & Julissa sketch - so awesome seeing talented performers bring words to life like that.
I was amazed at how good so many parts of that sketch were: the language, the concept of social media death. Just amazing.
I love Natasha Rothwell, but I think that Negro League groupie sketch was a waste of her. They need to have her back again.
I've had "On My Own" in my head for the past three days, and it makes me so happy.

Robin Thede was on the most recent episode of Keep It to talk about what it was like to write the show.
The brief clip of the Patti LaBelle sketch on Instagram really sells the show, as do the behind-the-scenes interviews with the cast and crew.

"The only thing worse than being catcalled is an unnoticed twerk." Truer words.
