That ME's comment really made my blood run cold. I am sure the casual way in which the comment was delivered was intentional as to how often they see this sort of thing, but I would have appreciated it if there had been more of a reaction to it, perhaps from Joan.

I just wrote this in a comment above but "…wakes up after a car crash in the bunker of a stranger, who tells her something terrible has happened to the world outside." is almost exactly the same synopsis as you could give to Dennis Kelly's 2005 play 'After the End'. It is pretty powerful although, take it from my…

RANK SPECULATION

In a recent comment thread someone mentioned that the show creator had hinted that the "Gretchen sneaking out' storyline would address something that a lot of young people, especially creative people, struggle with. Taking into account the burner phone some of us thought drug use.

I haven't gotten 'round to watching the episode yet, but based on the picture above I am assuming that they are making it a thing that Abbie and Ichabod get their hair done together?! They were both rocking the long, half-pinned-back look for most of last season.

How amazing would it have been though if Sansa had been the one to shove Myranda from the ledge, with Theon just disrupting her aim when she came to shoot the arrow? It could have been shot to recall her half-hearted attempt to shove Joffery in Season 1 and would have at least given a bit more agency to the character…

That's why they call it "pushing drugs". They're really difficult to sell to people.

I didn't have as much of a problem with the choice to include the rape itself (possibly because I've read the book and knew something horrible was coming and also, y'know, RAMSAY!) but I hated how long the camera focused on Theon's face at the end of the scene.

"Don Johnson it" - Everyone knows the current pop culture reference would be "Dick in a Box it".

The 'Alicia the Lone Crusader' storyline is undercooked for me. She repeatedly stated during the SA's race that she didn't get into the law to do good, she got into it because it provides clarity and structure. While she seemed ambivalent about many aspects of her job she has never seemed particularly weighed down…

I'm late to the party as my initial thoughts after watching the show were all Kalinda related and I don't really have anything to add to what has already been posted by others below.

I love Mad Men, but I upvoted this because its a surprisingly succinct summary of the show. Do you have any incandescent posts on 'Girls' threads that I can read next?

Mad Men changed television forever. There used to be a lot of
garbage on TV, but now every show is good. AMC is about to produce an
amazing new drama called He Swallows It, which is a show where
every episode a man writes “World War I” on a piece of paper and then
eats that piece of paper. The only reason that a show…

Fitting that the well-built imitation of a pitch was in service of a well-built* imitation of a beer. Bill Phillips is to Don Draper as Miller Light is to Miller.

I do feel like the show has suffered for focusing so heavily on Alicia this season and allowing the characters' relationships become so fragmented.

This was my interpretation of Peter's involvement too. He obviously wants his wife to win, in no small part due to the kudos of having a wife who is SA during his next election race, but I imagine the Party leaned on him too. Peter has the more established political career and he isn't going to let that be damaged…

I haven't seen this yet, but purely based on the above screen-grab I'm imagining that this show is basically a full length version of The Good Wife's 'Darkness at Noon'.

::sigh:: Even in a diorama Scully doesn't get her own desk.

Haha, I hope that analogy really pans out and now that Abbie is in the 18th Century she learns from the people who were actually there that 90% of Ichabod's anecdotes were either exaggerated or totally false!

Nope. Katrina is the avocado of people.
