You do what you want, Emma! There's definitely no "right" way to do things. If you want to focus on marriage and kids, you should do so.

Poehler doesn't really strike me as being that out of touch. Also, I would hope this show will depict Ben bearing a lot of childcare duties, as well as Leslie. Plus, Leslie has the support of family and friends. I don't think motherhood has to be the death knell for career time, especially considering how energetic…

Most female politicians really start their political careers in their 40s and 50s because they start families first. Leslie has loads of time to have kids and also be a powerful politician (whether local, state, or national). As far as I can see, she's on her way to any or all of those things.

Yeah, it seems realistic to me that Leslie and Ben would have kids at this point in their lives. They are stable, they're in love, and they'll make great parents. And Amy Poehler, as a mom herself, will surely bring some of the funny to this topic. She's observed firsthand some of the comedy of motherhood.

Someone was assaulted and is strong enough to survive and do awesome content again. No "warning" required.

THIS! Also, I love how Dawn (once again) was living in two worlds—SC&P, and working for Don. Similar to her living in Harlem a few seasons ago and working in Manhattan. She's comfortable trying to find a balance between two disparate positions. If anyone understands that, it's Joan (the working mother who was an…

Ted asking if Pete wanted his office was the comedy moment of the night for me.

The point of the episode was that Sally is really her dad, not her mom—which is why she didn't tell him that she knew he was lying when they were in the apartment (notice that Don didn't immediately call her on it when he got the phone call from Dawn, because Don was "lying in wait," which is what he accused Sally of…

He doesn't have to lie to maintain his image with strangers. They can see him be imperfect because they don't expect him to be the perfect guy that he strives to be. The one person who really REALLY knew him, Anna, was able to connect with him because she knew he was a con-artist to begin with. He didn't have to…

Ken would forgive you. He gave kind of a rueful smile when the earring incident happened, reminding me that he's one of the only humans with a soul who have survived SC&P for any length of time.

The Zac plot should have been an undercurrent for at least a half-season. Still, how badass was the Raider plot? And how icky and gooey? I love that Starbuck is not discouraged by disgustingness, where so many other people would be.

PM'ed you.

I wish I would have read the book before watching the series, because it's a little jarring in the series when the actual people portrayed on the show get their chance to tell their stories. I want to like them—these are the actual heroes that we've just seen on screen—but I find it hard to connect with them. It…

Read his Mad Men or Sopranos reviews.

We'll see what you think. If you know they're important going in to the series, you might find it less shocking that the show takes this bullshit seriously.

Since the show goes on such a compact time scale, I just assume that Boyd is hurt because their fight is so recent, and that really he plans to get back together with her when things calm down for him (things are really nuts for him lately).

Except that if he DID shoot Art, he was making the decision as a juvenile and really didn't understand the full consequences of his actions. Meaning that Raylan has put a juvenile in prison for 40 years, thus ruining the life of someone who had the potential to do something else someday.

If the series finale is McShane shooting Raylan, for literally no reason at all, I will declare this to be the best show of all time.

Yeah, cuz he'd NEVER get into any trouble running a business out west…where it can be combative.
