As soon as I saw Eli glance down the hotel hallway after leaving Courtney, which I think is the very same hotel and camera angle they used when Alicia and Will finally got together, I knew what the "big reveal" would be. I can't say it was disappointing, but I am confused as to why they are bringing it up now and what

Fargo is submitted in the Limited Series category at the Emmy Awards, so Comedy or Drama is irrelevant.

In Entertainment Weekly's just published interview with Hawley, he says some at FX were hoping he'd shoot it in a way that it could look like a weather balloon or something else and he declined; he wanted to own the decision for better or worse.

I have a feeling that the debate as to whether the UFO deus ex machina was earned or not will be discussed for a long time.

I was initially skeptical last week when it seemed like the immediate aftermath of Dodd's invasion of Ed and Peggy's house would go largely unexplored, but the decision to separate the depiction of the subsequent day or two into two separate episodes focused on Hank and Lou and then Ed and Peggy and Dodd paid off so

Did anyone else notice that Axl mentioned that Devin broke up with him during his meltdown at the cornhole tournament? As far as I remember, the last time we saw Devin they agreed to see each other and see other people, so that came out of nowhere…

Thanks for giving Hot In Cleveland a little attention on the day of its series finale, Noel. I've always been a huge fan of the series, and it's nice to see it being appreciated for what it was and what it excelled at. I hope all four of these ladies find new work soon, they're all far too talented to stay off of our

Tony Hale told TVLine that it hasn't been officially revealed to the cast yet, but it might come into play in the future. In the mean time, we can have a heck of a lot of fun with speculation!

Selina and Gary's confrontation scene is just one of so many tremendous moments in this episode! The Jonah and Dan pairing was terrific, as was Kent and Catherine, plus a fun Michaela Watkins's appearance to boot! Loved the mishap with the Native American painting and the one-liners that also bled into the Israeli

Supposedly, Laurie isn't in any of the first four episodes that were sent out as screeners to the press.

"Joint Session" is without a doubt the best season premiere Veep has ever done. Kate, I'm sure you didn't want to set the grade bar too high, knowing that Veep always outdoes itself in the later half of each season, but this was better than a B! The stakes are so much higher and the ensemble and writing staff have

How did Kayla miss the terrific allusion to The Wire with Eli asking Larry Gillard Jr.'s character if he was wearing a wire?! That was meta- fantastic stuff!

Every season doesn't correlate to a year of the presidency, though, so they can theoretically stick to your four-year model without sticking to four seasons. Iannucci has said that they won't reveal the outcome of the election at the end of this season, so I think the show has much more life in it!

I agree, but I think that's part of the overall disappointment.

That was just a powerhouse episode for Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

She won't be on regularly - she was a guest judge this week, and might appear sporadically, but she certainly will not be on every episode.

I actually thought this show was a lot of fun! You're definitely off-base in saying that Alton was and looks embarrassed to do this show, as this seems to really fit his persona of late, and I believe he was integral in the series' development.

That was such a great moment, I completely agree, it totally stood out! So glad Kevin Dunn was upped to series regular for next season!

The entire season is written and filmed before any episodes air.  They film the episodes Baltimore very far in advance, and then I believe do finalizing, such as editing work, voice-over, etc. back in LA or England (for Ianucci and his crew).  I remember JLD tweeting about doing voiceover work for one of the final

Julia sang in almost every episode of her short-lived series Watching Ellie.  The first version of that series (single-camera) was actually quite terrific!
