My ass is advanced. Therefore, this episode was ass.

Six seasons and a movie!

But the stakes ARE so much lower than they were in the past. Remember that one episode everyone loved where the whole plot was that Leslie and Ann got in a fight and then everyone got drunk at da club? Such high stakes!

I'm praying the shortened seasons help get this show another season (if not 6).

Next episode gets a J. It gets a Z for fail.

I read this as "the NHL draft" and thought "if that's what you're blaming the ratings drop on, you're gonna be disappointed." I'm not smart.

It absolutely should be "Classic Poe." I've never even seen an episode of the show and every time someone posts that I giggle like a school girl..

He still got his zingers for the night. (Paraphrasing)
"So she'll marry Loras. So what if she doesn't have some specific parts he likes."
"I have no time for your jokes."
"I know it wasn't one of my best, but…"

Just Bird Law, really.

As Penn and Teller once pointed out, the government couldn't cover up two people breaking into an office complex.

I've heard it's supposed to be pretty damn good. Looking forward to it.

If they aren't, this game is bullshit.

The absolute best you could hope from a subplot involving a secondary Dexter character is that is wasn't terrible, while the worst case scenario was that it was the worst thing ever (Batista/LaGuerta's marriage). Speaking of that marriage, it boggles my mind that they made us sit through that shit for TWO WHOLE…

Quinn gets sent back to ancient Rome and decides to open a Ludas and train gladiators in "Quinntus Lentulus Batiatus."

Guess we need to start looking at the previous "Next Week on Mad Men" every week after the episode airs and see what themes it's spelling out in between doors.

Mad Men doesn't send out screeners in advance. The reviewers watch the episodes when they air, and it can take a while to get the reviews written.

Dexter VO: Professor Gellar. He wasn't real either. Well, he was, but he was locked up in a freezer in the basement of a church. Because Travis locked him in there and then started hallucinating that Gellar was telling him how to conduct the end of the world through tableaux. Tableaux. I only know that word because…

Call it "Fuck You, The Killing."

How'd you get the lyrics to my gritty Full House reboot theme song?

Hell no. 10-13 episodes is the perfect length for a well-designed season of TV drama. Any more than that and you're all but guaranteed filler.
