The Buffy episode! That's where I've seen her before! Thank you.
I hope they will be happy together and bring joy into the family again.

Speaking as someone with no clue about American Wrestling and pretty negative about it, consider me a bloody convert! From Debbie's realisation about it being a soap to me being stupidly invested in both the trial fight and downright cheering aloud in the finale only to be totally gobsmacked by Wellfare Queen! I want

It struck me how much Better Call Saul is about family ties that bind, drive and compel behaviour that in the end result in something quite dark/bad. Jimmy and Chuck obviously, but also Chuck and son-he-never-had Howard (talk about patricide at the end - it was pure Lannister!), Mike wanting to provide for his

That last shot of Saul - because Jimmy was All Saul then - earns this episode and A.
That scene and the one in the bar, where all the anger and resentment and darkness suddenly shone through the sweet mask of Jimmy. Jesus how can Odenkirk be this awesome an actor!?

As much as I hate Chuck (SO MUCH) and wanted desperately to see him go down in flames, the brilliance of the writing is in the fact that when it finally happened I felt relieved it was over, but not happy. I felt even a bit sad for the man whose lifelong insecurity and resentment had destroyed the fraternal bond

Can we just pause for a second and give thanks for actors like Giancarlo Esposito and Mark Margolis. I was crawling on the floor over the scene with Hector and Don Eladio and then at the restaurant. So much emotional tension built just by Margolis' silences. Bejeeeeezuz!
Loved how the patrons at the restaurant first

Phenomenal episode.
My only quibble is not with the end scene (her relief at being outside is so cathartic, I get it) but the punishment she got for attacking an aunt, trying to escape and actually helping Moira to escape. As horrible as a foot whipping is, Janice los her eye just for sneering at the aunts at the first

As great as Sarandon is I really think the Emmy belongs to Lange. This last episode was harrowing and powerful. She's been consistently able to make me understand and sympathise with and dammit ADMIRE a woman I genuinely don't like.
For me the gut punch was the scene where she thought Bette was mocking her one take.

As much as I loved the parts with the Queen Mother in Scotland it's just BS. Even if he didn't recognise her first she must have been introduced. Sitting down at table not knowing your guest's name?
Inconceivable!

This. He was the only one who knew what she was facing in that moment. I liked it.

To be fair, I think Weiner was a lot more critical about the culture and privileges of the Mad Men crowd, whereas Morgan is pretty much enamoured by the whole monarchy thing, despite relising it was not perfect. What I do like is the way the show shows you how trapped and micromanaged the royals are and how it affects

B!? You gave this masterfully directed and filmed episode a B!!????
You, Ser, are an ass! Nay - a FREY!!!

I want a Jonah and Splett spin off!!
Honestly, those two are so funny I am in danger of hurting myself because I want to laugh so badly but I don't want to miss a word or a gesture or a look!
I wish we could call the spin off House, but MF Tom Jones stole that already XD

For me the thing that made Chuck unforgivable was the action he took after their mother died. I understand he was upset and hurt by her final words, but making sure she was taken from the room before Jimmy could return was Grade A Evil! It was solely done to hurt his brother. And there was no excuse as with his secret

TONS of respect for JGL!
My jaw dropped when I saw who was picked to pen the script. I just couldn't beileve Lewitt was ok with heading in this direction with Sandman and apparently he wasn't.
I'm sorry I ever doubted you!!

I think you're too harsh on Mike's daughter in law: she's not lying. She is apparently not sleeping well and suffers from anxiety and imagines the worst. Mike realises this and that's why he wants to help her out.

I keep feeling we were dropped to far along into this story, it's like it's season 3 or something. What should have been a buildup to the financial troubles, selling the company and trying to reverse back has been thrown into our faces in the first few hours. I don't CARE enough about these people or this company yet

1. Jessica Jones had 3 black male characters of note (name, agency, lots of lines) and none of them died after the first couple of episodes. Don't go overboard trying to make a point.
2. Having Stark do science stuff is pretty much the whole reason to have him on, but they also made a point about the fact that Wilkes

My only quibble with this season is that it started by putting a clearly Peggy-obsessed Dotty in a room with her and it was MAGIC and then they took it away from us! BOOO!!!
I don't believe for a second Dr Wilks is dead. I was seriously worried about Sousa though, he seems set up for a tragic demise in every scene

Dexter's Dad!! Thank you, I was going crazy trying to figure out where I knew him from!
He was good - more of him and Allanon.
