Yeah the majority of the awfulness just rolls off my back. It’s so well written and the stakes are so high that it’s fun to see how it will all backfire on them.

Except that it wasn’t a mistake. You don’t “accidentally” take a condom off after your partner has expressed multiple times to you that no condom = no sex. It was a deliberate, conscious action and actions have consequences.

and it’s surely to her credit

It’s almost like he’s coming up with whatever ways he can to ride this horse until he cain’t no more.

Thank you.  Wanted to be sure Abby got a mention.

oh yeah dude. huge oversight on my part not including a lengthy aside disavowing ariana grande in this post. I'll get right on that 

Any show that could take a song that you have heard to death (U2's “With Or Without You”), and make it sound as gut-wrenching as it did the very first time you’ve heard it - has to be doing something right. 

I don’t think you could have stuck to the landing more than The Americans did in its final season. Especially the finale. A close second would have to be The Larry Sanders Show. As humble and likable as Jon Stewart was, there was this pall hanging over the entire season. Stewart wasn’t deliberately gunning to oust Larr…

The Americans. After a very slow 5th season the show completely blew everything up and it landed really well. 

For me, it’s the pitch perfect closure of both Justified—a flawless run of episodes—and Friday Night Lights--the perfect emotional catharsis for an already reliably heartfelt show.

Oh, Mr. Rogers, by far. Tom Hanks is great and a national treasure, but Mr. Rogers practically raised a couple generations of us.

The list of reasons why a thirty something woman with kids might be less “sexually adventurous” than a twenty something woman without kids is really, really long.

I have, thankfully, never experienced either circumstance, but I think I’d much rather find out my partner was cheating on me as an adult than find out as a kid or teenager that one of my parents was cheating on the other. At least in the former, there are clear steps you can take once you know. What the fuck do you…

My 16 year-old daughter gets paid $20 an hour ($150 each day) to watch 3 demonically possessed little boys. They have broken windows and several flat screen tvs with previous sitters.

Oh, it gets better.  These characters truly LOVE each other.  

It is one of my favorite comedy shows out there. There’s so much heart and humor in it and all the characters are so enjoyable and funny in their own way. I really hope it wins big this year. Same with Better Call Saul. I feel like people have been sleeping on it and they really shouldn’t be! It’s just as good as…

Hmm... dancing in the arms of Rupert Everett is a happy ending for me.

Oh well, at least we finally solved the greater mystery of why Bonnie is with Nathan: because she hates herself. It tracks.

As a lawyer, I have to add that this episode was ALL over the map in quality. It initially felt like they got procedure down a bit. But holy shit was that cross examination improper. Her lawyer was garbage but the judge should have shut him down at least five times. The murder accusation stuff never comes in, the…

I remember its tasting like a Pepsi without the courage of its convictions.
