Now there'll be +1000-2000 speculative comments before it even airs! Woo hoo!

Yup. And I definitely saw echoes of the bathroom in the ballroom of the Overlook in the design of the FBI's men's room.

HAHA! Yup I know that exact scene with Julianne Moore walking into Viggo's tool shop. Wow. I have seen that film too many times.

Because my A&E digital feed was having some trouble last night, that rape scene was actually CUT OUT from my pilot. It went straight from Norma in the kitchen and the guy breaking in, to afterwards when Norman walked in and found that his mom had stabbed the intruder. I went back and re-watched the scene after coming…

If you like David Lynch, hope you caught that Top of The Lake show/mini-series on Sundance last night. Good stuff.

I thought it was OK. I'll just look at this as a prequel to Gus Van Sant's PSYCHO and not Hitchcock's.

Darn I only spent 4. Next time.

I feel you TVW. This could be "The Good Wife" or it could be "Unforgettable". Only the minds at CBS truly know. Still I thought this was a pretty good premiere. With McBride and Holt M. from Lights Out, the potential is there. And Mr. Pamuk puts it over the top. I'll at least watch the next episode or two and see how…

Man this comment made my shitty depressing week. Thank you sir.

Great episode, probably my favorite so far. I really want a Dorrit spin-off. Can we make that happen please CW? At least a back-door pilot sometime in season 2?

Thanks for the clarification. I think I totally spaced on that! Yikes! But yeah, I still found it weird.

I really enjoyed this episode. Girls to me is more about a worldview, a style, and a tone than it is about characters or even plot at times (and yes I know that sounds antithetical to episodic television as we now know it) in some ways echoing "Louie" and maybe more accurately "The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd". I'm…

Yeah I found it weird the way Andrea kept asking about Shane, of all people - and made Rick feel bad about what happened. Were they THAT good of friends back then?

The show is having an amazing run this season. It's worldview is something that is at times reminiscent of "Six Feet Under", which is a huge compliment for me.

I think that Christina Gallagher and Zoe Barnes are both great characters and to see their transformations over the course of the 13 episodes was one of the best parts of Season 1 - for me at least.

Is this the one with the benefit where they feed the picketers at the end?

Or TV!

This felt like it could have been a "brilliant but cancelled" UPN pilot from 1998 (right down to the cast) when "the net" was just beginning to explode.

Yup. But also Allen Coulter and Carl Franklin later on in the series.

Hah. Great analogy. "You either a die a hero (Michael Scott), or live long enough to see yourself become a villain (Andy Bernard)".
