Carrie didn't mention the abortion fakeout.  She also didn't mention that Victoria said she was knocked up by her mother's boyfriend, with the strong implication she was raped.  That makes it hard for me to root for Emily on this, evil as Victoria is.  Torturing someone over the rape baby they gave up for adoption

With his show now at 8pm, Chris will be putting out a delicious plate of pasties for his guests.  (The dough-filled-with-meat kind, not the type strippers wear.)

@avclub-d0dfbf82a0232e4c63faf5016c25b7d5:disqus Huh?  I started off by referring to upper middle class women, you wrote " Having mom work because she has to puts a whole different spin on it that they'd usually rather avoid." 

Shocking, I know, but there are actually women who work because they want to, not because they "have to".  (Although, of course, like men, most do "have to").

The other factor for the Jarl to rule with an iron fist and hate Ragnar is that I don't think his office as Jarl is very secure.  I'm pretty sure the rule was that anyone who kills the Jarl becomes the Jarl.  The current Jarl needs to continually assert himself as so bad ass that no one will want to/is able to

It probably would be too abstract compared to what he just heard.  Plus he knew he'd have to defend it.  Not to mention there are two different creation stories in Genesis.

At my Catholic high school, we did a production of the Passion Play every Palm Sunday.  We did a musical in the fall.  The kid who played Jesus my sophomore year played Jesus again fall of junior year when we did Godspell.  Thirty years later, he is an annoying born-again evangelical Christian who facebooks bible

That totally confused me because he killed his people for not wanting to immediately return to the prison, and then he did not immediately return to the prison. I really thought the governor was going to be waiting for the group when they got back from Woodbury, and I was actually pretty shocked that the group left

Don't forget their cornerstone programming, CSI:Miami reruns.

And didn't she start out as the prostitute in the North that Theon had sex with? I thought that was in the book.

Not the writers, the creators.  A lot of them are making big bank and have spouses who stay home.

How?  The husband gets to present himself as whatever his career is and a father.  The wife gets to present herself as a mother and nothing.

The one positive thing I can say about this show is that appreciate that in the 2nd season, they made it clear that the mother had a job/career.  It's weird how many women in television upper middle class families are stay-at-home moms compared to reality, especially when their kids are older.

Seriously.  It's hard to imagine being a young gay teen struggling with your identity, dating a girl because you think that's what you're supposed to do, then having your father rape and kill her and tell you it's because you didn't have sex with her.  It's amazing he's not more screwed up.

@ApostateGland:disqus  What Sherman was doing before was womanizing.  Sleeping with a series of women was no big deal.  However, the show has gone out of its way to show us that he is in a committed monogamous relationship with the teacher — sleeping over, introducing her to his friends, calling her his girlfriend. 

I cannot believe she hasn't been on Justified yet.

He was also quite good in Designing Women way back when.

ABC also screws HE with streaming options.  Every other ABC sitcom is available for streaming.  HE is only on Hulu with web-only for the most recent episodes.  Seasons 1 and 2 are only available to be purchased per episode on iTunes and Google Play.  So many people will get into a show if they can catch up easily with

People who are pretty much interchangeable with a dozen other actors probably shouldn't pull that line.

They didn't show it at all?  My local affiliates will very rarely bump something for sports, but they always show it later that night (like at 2am).
