I don't think it will be the central focus of S3. It was the central focus of S2, and from what I gathered from the producers they felt they had told that story pretty thoroughly and were ready to move on with Carrie and Saul as the centerpiece of the show. That's not to say Brody won't be involved in some capacity,…

People very often throw around the term "brave" when describing Lena and her choice to do nudity on her show, but Lena has always maintained she doesn't feel brave for doing those sorts of things because it doesn't make her nervous or uncomfortable. I feel more accurate using the word "brave" here because there is a…

I don't know, I felt bad for Marnie in this episode, and was kind of disgusted by the way Charlie treated her. "Do you need money?/Support from me or for me?" That was kind of asshole-ish behavior, but Marnie is so oblivious to anyone else around her that she probably didn't even notice.

Yep, that's what I thought, too. Especially after telling Ray in the park that she's become the type of person who gets a boyfriend and then disappears. Seems to me that Shosh never thought she'd be the type of girl who got a boyfriend and then suddenly acquired a life that revolved around said boyfriend—she goes to a…

But at least the producers had a sense of humor about it. The song that played over his death: "Fall at Your Feet." Earlier in the episode there is a song by a band called Rock Kills Kid.

Mark Boal and Kathryn Bigelow didn't make the decision to "commit extra-judicial execution and torture." They made a movie about America's policy-makers' decision to do so.

I'd like to see ZD30 again, but I think, ultimately, it will be remembered and respected more than Argo, which I agree felt kind of empty and lacking. Somehow I feel like a Best Picture winner should feel heavier and more important. Argo is good "popcorn" movie fun, but there is very little depth to it.

I didn't think that ZD30 thought it was "celebrating" killing OBL. In fact I thought it showed just how great of a toll the hunt took on the parties involved. People were fired from their jobs or marginalized or tortured or killed.

Henry Francis was there, too!

I thought Russ might make the list. "They're as different as night and… later that night."

Enlightened is also a really hard show to classify. It's not really a drama, not really a comedy, but it's 30 minutes long, so we're programmed to consider it a comedy (same is true, albeit to a lesser extent, of Girls). But that doesn't make it any less beautiful.

I've yet to watch either House of Cards or Scandal (although I'm thinking about starting Scandal just from word of mouth/Twitter), but from what I gather Scandal is just more enjoyable to watch. It won't ever be taken seriously, but you'll probably have more fun watching it than a show like HoC or maybe even Mad Men.

We can only hope. Are you listening, TBS?

UGH. NO. 

If it bothers you that Hannah lacks self-awareness, so much so that it infringes upon your enjoyment of the show, then I'm not sure why you would keep watching. But TV comedies are full of characters who lack self-awareness, and it's usually played for laughs. I'm reminded of the episode last season "Hard Being Easy,"…

Well, Draper and White have also both had longer journeys of development and discovery: 5 seasons compared to 1.5 for Hannah. (And I'd argue that Don Draper really hasn't changed that much, and that he is often written to be likable, but anyway…)

I didn't LOVE LOVE the "I want to be happy" epiphany speech. It did feel kind of contrived, not necessarily because of what Hannah was saying but because of Lena Dunham's acting, which is still not up to the level of her writing, which I find to be extremely charming and funny.

"we all know that Hannah is supposed to be Dunham 'two years ago'"
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think Hannah is as much like her creator as you seem to think. Lena's persona in interviews—both in print and in person—depicts a level of self-awareness that Hannah cannot even begin to grasp. To me, Lena is as likable…

I liked this episode. It seems like nothing actually happened but I kind of thing that SO MUCH happened. I enjoyed this bottle episode much more than last season's "The Return" and I think it's because Patrick Wilson is charming enough to pull it off. He's decidedly not a jerk, unlike pretty much every guy in Hannah's…

I think it depends why you want to watch the show and what kind of experience you want out of it. When you binge watch a show, you can really only take in the plot. Any deeper meaning that you might gain from discussing an episode in a public forum such as this one or from re-watching the episode before the next one…
