She recognized her as the girl who was brought into the police station for shoplifting  at the beginning of the episode.

As much as I like Breaking Bad, she'll always be Epyck from Friday Night Lights to me.

The killer's been leaving a bead at every crime scene.  If I heard correctly, this week's bead was in the ransom money he returned to Marco.

I didn't get any sense that they're currently having an affair, but there was definitely a weirdness to their exchange that suggested it could happen in a future episode.

1) Lyric primarily served as a device.  Twitch's inspiration to get better.  An object of affection—and later the cause of downfall—for Bullet.  A symbol of regret for Callie's mom.  She also just encapsulated the horror facing these kids - she's a babyfaced girl facing a horribly cruel existence.

He was reliably funny in season three of The Office and had moments throughout the show's run - at least up until they made him regional manager and killed his character.

Was about to say the same thing.  Kinda loving this girl, but I have no idea why she seems to go in-and-out of her accent.  For people that are more familiar with her, is that just how she talks - or is it some weird element of her NTSF character?

The Great Dane question intrigued me enough to look it up.

The Deadline TV reporters seem to love the show; they take snide shots at those critics who "hate watch" and included it on their biggest Emmy snubs.

That's a very interesting argument/perspective, but it isn't the one the show was making.

It's interesting.  I didn't put too much specific stock into this storyline a) because it's The Newsroom and b) because I get the overarching point for which they're going.

Since the female characters are largely competent—and often powerful—the show's not misogynistic in the way something like The Newsroom is.  But it's shamelessly gratuitous with the actresses, which I find a bit odd since I wouldn't assume this audience skews so heavily male.

That was a great episode of The Practice, but I actually WAS talking about a Boston Legal episode.

Just an absolutely incredible episode.  Granted, I'm always awestruck by these hauntingly-emotional death row episodes - that Boston Legal execution episode continues to be one of my all-time favorite hours of TV - so I'm glad to see I'm not alone in thinking this was near-perfect television.

I've been both in the presence of someone who got that kind of news and the person getting that kind of news.  So, no, I'm not the "ignorant" one here.

The Walking Dead is not "way worse."  It's capable of far more than Dexter is, and it's never as bad as Dexter at its worst.

I mean that HAD to be a tongue-in-cheek line for the viewer, right?

Deb - if you killed me, who would have raised Harrison?

Somebody said this last week, and I just don't get it.

Weakest episode by far.  Because the tone seemed different and characterizations seemed off, even though there might have technically been more action this week than there was in previous episodes, it felt the least meaningful of the three.
