Juliette losing it in the hotel was amazing, and then Hayden Panettiere managed to break my heart a little bit at the end where she calls her mom. I hope they get a second season just so Juliette can continue to be excellently sad.

Yes, exactly. Jack Black does not live in Nashville and own a weird little awesome recording studio tucked away in one of the warehouse districts. Jack White does. Though I've always thought of Liam as a cross between Jack White and one of the guys from the Black Keys.

My favorite part of this episode was Nashlanta, where the Ryman was clearly visible though slighlty out of focus behind Marilyn's head in her scene with Avery and the car. Though it looks like maybe they really shot in Austin, or at least got some pretty b-roll.

I don't think Scarlett was too shy to sing at the Bluebird a few episodes ago - I think she was too pissed off at Gunnar to do it. And for good reason. Gunnar seems to be as big of a dick as Avery, albeit in a different way. Scarlett ought to keep singing with the band and leave both of them in the background.

Funnily enough, that big old church solo thing that Juliette did? Not that uncommon down here. A lot of church choirs feature middling to failed country music singers, and they like to put on a performance when they get the big solo. I grew up going to a lot of friend's churches after sleepovers to pretty much that…

I was just about to post this and you did it for me! Basically, the Grand Ole Opry house is where Rayna and Juliette performed in the pilot, but the Ryman hasn't been seen until this episode.

Jack White cleverly disguised as a member of the Black Keys. It might have been too obvious if they'd had him stroll out in a fedora carrying any number of taxidermied animals.

I usually agree with the reviews, but I can't get on board with this one. The plot finally felt like it was moving forward this week, and stuff actually started happening. I'm not sure what pilot everyone else watched, but what I saw promised a soapy nighttime soap…and this episode delivered. It's not going to be…

It's a real one but I can't remember the name. It's over in East Nashville somewhere and I've driven by it a couple of times.

In my head, I was likening it to Taylor Swift being caught shoplifting. Which, considering her image, would be kind of a scandal. But there would still never be that many paparazzi in Nashville.
