Wow.  What a post.  Also, thank you for the reminder that "ante-penultimate" is a word.   I need to do something for the third-to-last time sometime soon just to use it.

Ooh! Ooh!  Speaking of New York, I get to go there for the day on Friday!!!!

WHAT?!?!  That's so weird.  It's aired midday here, so I never hear it.

Gaahhh…I'm so excited for it

Wow…guess they don't need those alternate revenue streams…

I'm paused after episode 5 while I'm out of town this week, but I'm thoroughly in withdrawal :).  I did convince my friend Chad to start watching, though (he watched the first episode but hadn't see the rest), so…CONVERTS!

I assume this already made the rounds?

Not gonna lie…the first time I saw that ad, I thought, "huh, I don't remember seeing that filming around town…."

So, I was texting the Good Sir NPR today to say "guess who got to sit in the cockpit of a Boeing 777 today?" (Because I did, while being shown around by a guy who looked just like Duck Phillips), when my always-weird autocorrect automatically inserted "Romanian" after "of a."

Hey…summer undergrad research can be fun if you do it right.  Dry ice Olympics, anyone?

DOES FILM CRIT HULK TALK THE WAY HE WRITES?  BECAUSE YOU KNOW EVEN THE NAVY'S GIVING THAT UP, FCH.

Glaz, that was a beautifully-written tribute to her.  You were clearly a good friend to her (I kept thinking, as you told your story, how many points I probably would've bailed on that relationship) and a constant force in her life.  I hope, for your sake, you get some closure to this.  Thanks for sharing.

I thought it was going to be Cosima (and I do enjoy her—she reminds me of Lane from Gilmore Girls) but the Allison-Felix combination is unbeatable.  Especially hearing Maslany talk about her whole imagined backstory for her and how she breathes differently, etc (but how does she make her eyes look like they're shaped…

Holy crap, Jordan Gavaris's actual voice.  I can't wrap my head around it.

Geez.  Colbert is getting me.  That guy loved his mom.

Writer's Room?

Agreed, @avclub-d9c9a056f6052ffbfa3526be3478d45e:disqus .  I can't say he's a bad rapper—heck, a bunch of songs from Camp basically IS my entire workout mix.  But I just think he's so much better/more talented as a comedic actor (and would love to see what he could do with drama), that I hate to see him walk away.
