I love boobs and everything, but those topless bartender scenes were the very definition of gratuitous.

I agree that it was nice to focus a bit on Simon—I think the actor got more screen time here than in all of his series appearances put together—but one thing bugs me: the show made such a big deal about the Specialness of Sharon and her Special Love for Helo and how it was so Special that they were able to conceive

Wouldn't the male version of crazy eyes be crazy eyes? It's not like men don't get crazy, or have eyes.

Agreed. And it seemed like AMC let it play a little longer before they started the promo for next week—lately they've been running the promos almost as soon as the credits start, and it's been ticking me off.

Yeah, I thought that was great. When the episode started I had no clue where we were in time—it's really cold out…could it be December?…could we have skipped right over the assassination?—and when the now-familiar Cronkite bulletin popped up I was like, oh SHIT. Here we go. And having Harry and Pete completely ignore

I consolidated the tables!
I love how Roger channeled all of his frustrations into that line. I'm definitely working that into a conversation somehow.

Oh the hard, hard life of a feminist dyke: as a feminist I am deeply concerned about the objectification of women in the media, but as a dyke I really want to look at Yvonne in her skivvies. It's the kind of battle with myself that I fight frequently, and while the feminist side usually wins (though I admit it's

Wow, I hadn't heard about that. It looks like restoring the print won't be easy, but what a tremendous find. I look forward to seeing the complete film.

Six more episodes of Chuck
= six more chances to see Yvonne Strahovski in her underwear. I am pleased.

"…he's advocating paganism, not Satanism."
That's a distinction the average Christian is either unable or unwilling to make.

A million poppies gonna make me sleep
That promotional photo alone is enough to make me want to see this. Handsomely shot, indeed.

Pointless detail
I never noticed this before, but it appears, based on the establishing shot, that Charlie's apartment is not in Philly but across the river in Camden, NJ. The shot shows Camden City Hall in the foreground with the Ben Franklin Bridge behind it.

ur all a bunch of looser's who dont deserve to breath my air

Every day, after slogging my way home from work on a crowded train full of dirty hippies, I flop onto my couch and watch the last 15 minutes of Gilmore Girls on ABC Family.

Yes, the world is just full of tall, gorgeous, black-haired, blue-eyed women with perfect bodies.

Why are we always looking back on what we had?
Wow, Heidi Rodewald. There's a name I haven't heard in years. In the '80s she played bass and sang in a band called Wednesday Week, and I kind of loved them.

Full of grace
Oh man, almost 500 comments already? Crap, I was not expecting that. Do I have to start logging in on Sunday nights now? I need my beauty rest, people!

La Pipe, here's the thing: I was already a huge fan of the show, and then they brought on Tara, who's this shy, nerdy, bookish, insecure lesbian. I myself am a shy, nerdy, bookish, insecure lesbian, and there'd never been a character on TV that I identified with in quite that way before.

TOTALLY. Electric is exactly the right word for that entire sequence. The first time I saw it, I literally felt an electric buzzing around me when their hands intertwined, and the hair on my arms stood on end. Really well-directed by Joss Whedon (even though I hate him) and well-played by Alyson Hannigan and Amber

I can't seem to post new comments today, which I guess is OK since I was going to post on this same topic. I've never heard Whedon's commentary, but my thinking has always been similar: "Hush" is about the way that spoken language can actually hinder us in our attempts to communicate what we truly think and feel.
