My favorite part of this show (that I will not continue to watch) is that, even though it takes place in Los Angeles, it arbitrarily makes most the characters from Boston so all the actors can sink their giant choppers into the most ACTOR-ly American accent there is. Which is never grating.

They did a whole dinner service, and the whole service voted. Occasionally one team wouldn't get their burgers up in time to get a vote from that particular table. Luca didn't think of his strategy of rushing the burgers until the end of the service, so it only bought them about 4 extra votes.

If you're not interested in X-Men, you are actually allowed to refrain from seeing - and even contemplating - X-Men related movies, even if they came out when you were young enough to see movies, back when you weren't in your 40s. It's even possible to occasionally get a waiver from the mandate requiring all adult…

No he didn't. At various times he withheld information from one person or another to sway their opinion. Namely, he led Joan to believe the other partners, including Don, had already signed off on the arrangement, while he was still the only one who knew all the details and was brokering the deal.

If the reason I don't like it is because "I don't get it," you're pretentious. If I don't like it because it's already on the radio, or you're the one who discovered it, or it's just dance music or whatever, then I'm pretentious. Everyone's kind of pretentious when it comes to their personal tastes, especially when it…

I wish the balance of the advertising business stuff vs. the Don Draper slowly fucks up his marriage stuff were reversed.

Wait a minute. How do you submit a recap that includes the phrase "I didn't really follow why …"? Are you kidding me? Rewind it so you can follow the goddamn show you're supposed to write intelligently about. Jesus.

Bobby going, "Jesus!" at the end of Planet of the Apes is one of my favorite moments from the show now.

Interesting. Do you think Betty's new 'do will play into that idea? I thought it was her starting to turn into her mother-in-law, but now I wonder if we'll see a weird reaction from Don when he sees her.

I think this episode was about everyone being a whore … except Don, and the flashbacks represent his decision somewhere along the way to be the pimp - the rooster - and not the whore. Sure, he went into advertising, but he became the one guy who was so good that you had to come to him, the one Creative guy the sales…

I hate Catelyn Stark, and I hate watching her whimper through exactly one boring scene each episode. All she does is show up everywhere to fuck up everyone's program. Now her brother gets to fuck things up too.

I took it all to mean Littlefinger probably instructed them not to accept payment. We're supposed to think it means he has a huge dick or something, but Tyrian and Bronn want to find out what he might have said to the women.

Bobby Moynihan was on Howard Stern recently and he kept bringing up this sketch comedy school of thought where you are SUPPOSED to stare directly at the cue cards. He said the eye line looks correct on camera when they're reading, and it looks off when they're not. I desperately wanted someone to tell him it ALWAYS…

There's too much Dean. Way too fucking much Dean. Everyone's always bitching about too much Chang, but he never came near to taking over the whole show the way Dean Pelton has.

Abed's Christmas episode is one of my favorite episodes of TV

Someone may have already caught this and mentioned it, but a commenter on another site said that PFC Dinkins referring to Don as "Lieutenant" could indicate he got the Lt. Draper lighter. When I was watching the scene, though, it seemed like he was just being chummy with a guy who reminded him of army officers.

But her expression changes to something more uncertain while she looks at him. I got more of a sense of her being unfulfilled, or at least questioning it.

Were we supposed to be ultimately impressed by Cam's water display? I honestly couldn't tell if it was supposed to come off as redemptive or over-the-top cheesy, until the fish thing barely saved the moment. Was his triumphant pose regarding a couple arcing water streams any of the joke?

I love this documentary because it's such a great look at band dynamics and lead-singer dynamics. Also because the ones with "integrity" and the ones who "sold out" are the same level of pretentious, annoying dickwad. BJM was the kind of band where you would see the guy yell at his own bandmates during a gig.…

Wasn't it Night Flight that would also play those weird Andy Warhol Dracula and Frankenstein films?
