Nice to see coverage of the show is back (even if it's temporary as I suspect).

It's sign of how great this episode was that just reading the description today gave me chills. For all it's clunky flaws, when B5 was on the mark it had an emotional resonance that few shows attain.

I hope so, though from what we've seen in the books so far, it doesn't seem like Sansa gets any of what Littlefinger is trying to teach her. He's busy telling her helpful bits of political advice and she's all, "Uh huh, okay, I'm going to go take care of Robin now and think about my hairdo and boys i might marry"

What is stunning about this video? Or does the author of the post mean "Stunning" in the Seinfeld "that baby is breathtaking" kind of way?

Honestly, I keep hoping she and Archer will hook up again, because that pairing is gold.

But as another poster pointed out, not only do you have the problem of viewers realizing it's the same actor, the show also hasn't laid the groundwork to establish the legend of Barristan Selmy, like they did in the books. I understand that, given that there's no graceful way to weave that into the show without it

I really feel like Pam would be able to handle a (seemingly) dead hooker situation without batting an eye. So in that respect, she's already got a leg up on Cyril.

I agree with the OP - while the filmmakers clearly seem biased in favor of his innocence, Peterson still comes across incredibly weird and creepy.

"The show’s writers clearly recognize that the biggest problem is
everything that’s not Mindy (and to a lesser extent Danny). That’s not
to say Mindy is a completely captivating character, but this show does
best when largely focusing on her and dropping the workplace stuff."

Eden Sher is just amazing. The Darrin/Sue stuff really moved me, because Sher has been such a consistent MVP with her portrayal of Sue all year. 

I might have had more problem believing Lord Grantham would insist on keeping Thomas around, thus creating a major powder keg of drama with the Bates-Thomas-O'Brien-Jimmy-Alfred circle of hate, if the show hadn't spent the whole season reminding us that Lord Grantham is kind of an idiot. He's a gentle good hearted

While I do like Jane a lot as Jenna, I do agree that the show's insistence that Jenna and Liz were best friends always bugged me.

It's like you're in my brain!

Rosemary's Baby might be packed with more of my favorite lines than any other 30 Rock episode. Aside from the above mentioned second location quote, there's:

You could argue that the over-the-topness is what made the whole thing work. Chatswin might be ridiculous, but underneath the silliness there are people with real feelings. Ryan was legitimately hurt that the pep rally wasn't peppy. While Tessa didn't necessarily regret disrupting the sweatshop, she also can't claim

I really love Kenzi, but her pro-Dyson stance is really annoying. I'm not sure Lauren did much to earn Kenzi's instant dislike early on, while I'm not sure Dyson did much to earn Kenzi's undying fangirl love.

Ah, I stand corrected then. Well done, both versions!

True, the Rick Moranis one does have a "Everyone learns a valuable lesson!" vibe to it. Having said that, I love when he sings to his wife so I ultimately forgive that.

Agreed. Joaquin Phoenix was particularly great in this (though honestly all of Dianne Wiest's famiy turned in amazing acting). The scene where he calls his father and asks to live with him, only to be rebuffed, is spellbinding. It's a moment of true anguish.

As long as you go in knowing that the movie has more comedy (which as other posters have said actually enhances the dramatic parts for me), I think you'll like this movie. While it has some parts that date it, overall the main points are fairly universal and timeless.
