Of all the literary works I was prepared for the Boardwalk Empire finale to remind me of, The Awakening was not one of them.

Todd your Sopranos reviews are the golden standard for television criticism, and they helped me appreciate my favorite show on an entirely new level. Thank you for all your work here at the A.V. Club and good luck with your future endeavors.

A-

Roger Sterling's strategic phone placement was some Marnie Michaels level hiding of nudity.

Nobody plays a guy on a power trip like Schwimmer. His performance as Greenzo on 30 Rock remains one of my favorite for that reason.

He was gay Gary Cooper?

Yeah I have to disagree with Todd a little bit here. Marnie had more than an iota of a reason to gripe about how the weekend went down. The way everyone was making fun of her duck dinner was just incredibly mean.

Poor Betsy Brandt, first [SPOILER] Hank dies now this?

So will his name be inexplicably run in the opening credits for the remainder of the show's run?

I guess we know which side Todd will be pulling for in X-Men: Days of Future Past this summer.

How can we get a Laird spin-off going? Laird and his dead turtle fight crime. Laird and his dead turtle interior decorate. Laird and his dead turtle display simple human decency. The possibilities are limitless!

Laird!

Donald Draper? What kind of name is that?

Scanning for any acknowledgment of Game of Thrones. Oh wait here it is. Nope that's an episode of Futurama.

New Orleans! Home of pirates, drugs and whores. New Orleans! Tacky over priced souvenir stores New Orleans! If you want to go to hell you should take a trip to the Sodom and Gomorrah on the Missipp! New Orleans! Stinking, rotten, vomiting, vile! New Orleans! Putrid, brackish, maggoty, foul! New Orleans! Crummy,

Holy Shit! I was born in a great year for TV.

Worst. Generation. Ever.

Why does this come up under the music tab for me?

Brooklyn nine-nine is really coming together. It's much funnier that either Parks or The Office was this early in their respective runs.
