And then the guilt drives her to suicide, preferably between seasons so that we never have to see or hear her character ever again!  Boom!  Problem solved.

That is precisely where the shift came for me.

Bizarre that they would do that, given how clear-eyed and refreshingly feminist the sexual politics on this show are.

In what episode did Rick become leader in the first place?  I don't remember him doing a single thing that would make any rational person put their face in his leadership.

I mean, this is the same woman who segued fluidly from "YOU TRIED TO RAPE ME STAY AWAY" to "Why aren't you more of a father figure to my son?" in a single conversation.  She's as consistent as she is likable.

I found myself impressed tonight by how much good work they've done rehabbing Andrea's character in the second half of this season.  I actually didn't hate her tonight!

I have never seen him before in my life.

It's not the act of wearing orange.  It's the malice behind it.  Liz chose to filter her distaste for the drunken assholery of St. Patrick's Day through an act that draws upon a long history of civil unrest and violence and a symbolic "fuck you" to Irish Catholics.  Wearing orange to a Irish Catholic festival or green…

Liz announcing that she was wearing orange as a "fuck you" to Irish Catholics raised a big red flag, given that wearing orange or green to the wrong group's parade can still provoke violence in Northern Ireland.  But I think I was more irritated by the show's portrayal of Irish Catholics as a unified mob of morons and…

I kind of liked the fact that they talked and talked but didn't go anywhere.  In my experience, that's very realistically reflective of how conversations like this always turn out, which made it funnier to me.

Justified is a ballet.  Southland is a cage fight.

They also aired a promo that referred to The Killing as TV's best crime drama.  Which would seem to indicate that AMC does not consider Breaking Bad, Justified, Boardwalk Empire, etc. to be crime dramas.

I like that this week, Carol picked up the role of Woman Telling Lori How Fucking Awful She Is, as originated by Andrea in the last episode.

Rosie Larsen, for getting killed and making The Killing happen.

Hearst.  Oh man, did I hate Hearst.

"David.  DAVID.  DAYYYYYVVVIIIIDDD."

I was SO PISSED at the show for making me cheer for Andrea.

I think at least half of the cast of Downton falls into this category.  That show's lifeblood is the kind of character who's exquisitely written but nonetheless compels you to scream at your television set.

Well, I think the clear implication here is that Joan is Don's separated-at-birth whorechild twin sister, Myrtle Whitman, who similarly assumed her superior's identity after accidentally blowing up Miss Dever's Secretarial School in a tragic dictaphone accident.

I thought Samurai said, "I'm in character," as in he was emulating the hero of Santa Monica Cop.  In which case, that film looks to have a very Training Day flavor to it.
