    The Freudian psychology was more apparent than usual. The girl at the restaurant looked exactly like Anna Draper's niece and Roger's girlfriend looked exactly like the schoolteacher. I might say it "tripped" me out when they both appeared. Then the "farm girl" leaning over, milking udders, Bobby watching his mom drink

    During the scene with Nina, Arkady and Oleg in the office I was thinking that it's one of the most original dynamics ever done on a television series. I often find myself thinking that so much during these episodes- whether it be Philip and Elizabeth's marriage, Clark, Martha and Jennifer's relationship or all the

    That was great. I'm just a sucker for heightened delusional personalities (cc: Michael Scott, Jerri Blank, Sarah Silverman, Kenny Powers, Jenna Maroney). Her showing up in slo-mo overdressed when the kid didn't even want her there is the funniest to me.

    Haha, she looked hilarious! To me it was just satire on the historical "female secretary". I mean, how many old movies and shows could we count that feature a female secretary exclaiming to a man "You can't go in there!" as he barges through.

    I thought the secretary sketch from last episode and the prom sketch were both awesome.

    Season 1: The Year of Schmidt
    Season 2: The Year of Nick
    Season 3: The Year of Winston

    That would be pretty cool if they did.

    They found a sweet spot of artful camp in Asylum. I'm hoping they find their way back.

    They probably couldn't choose the more fitting Carnival or Circus because they're too similar to Coven. It's all downhill from here.

    Assuming that Caroline and Laird raise the baby in Laird's apartment in the same building as Hannah and Adam, it kind of makes total sense that we will start with Hannah in Iowa City next year. I swore that was some kind of dream though, especially with the white dress and pregnancy. That was bizarre.

    The smoking weed to remember where you left something was reminiscent of The Sarah Silverman Program, and along with the legendary legend that be Amy Sedaris, tonight's episode felt like a kick-ass "homage" to past trailblazers of Comedy Central. I don't think any other comedy brings as much ambition week to week as

    I read this script and it wasn't that bad. It felt a little by the books in a few aspects, mostly the dialogue, although playwright Donald Margulies wrote it and it is centered around an interview. DFW and David Lipsky are both made complex and it mostly revolves around their intellectual competition. I'm confident

    Yeah I thought it was great too. When Gina said he's a good guy, Andre Braugher did some awesomely subtle acting as he walked back to his office. It felt like an advancement of his and Amy's relationship and the stakes.

    That's super cool.

    A-. The editing and directing felt more hypnotic than usual. Honestly, the shot of the wendigo/stag/Hannibal in the court room is enough for me to give it an A-. That was scarier than anything in AHS: Coven.

    Wow, this was my all-time favorite episode. The subtlety of Nina's smile at the typewriter, Aunt Helen's house, the ear infection, Philip's frustration with Henry and Paige, the propeller scene. Elizabeth yelling "Hey, come check it out!" to Philip as he walked into the hangar area made me guffaw. That delivery was

    The Sandinista scene was remarkably well-paced, it felt hypnotic. The Paige Walking Down The Hall scene last week made me lose a little faith in the cinematography but there were some nice scenes here. The Americans feels right on the brink between cinematic and cable stylistically but I can't tell if they're

    Kate and Jackie's rambling conversations are quickly becoming the highlight of every episode for me. Malin Akerman and Michaela Watkins have awesome chemistry and I'd like to contribute it to their Wainian connection in Wanderlust.

    Cannot wait. I watched the first short season three times showing it to anyone I could and I probably rewound the last five minutes of the finale over fifteen times. "Because I know you", the wide shot of Tawny in the lawn listening to the voicemail looking back at her house, the folky organ… it was my favorite finale

    Jessa laughing while drowning a terrified Hannah was great. Great detail and direction I didn't notice until a second watch was when Elijah walks inside to talk to Marnie, Hannah uncomfortably shifts and subtly looks inside. This could explain her obnoxiousness moments later that leads to Elijah and Marnie to talk
