I know! I noticed it about halfway through last season when Ted walked past a row of offices and all I saw was Don Draper stalking the halls.

I was just about to post about 28 Days Later and In Bruges. Two films that definitely should have made the list.
Watching PS3 owners with their actual good baseball games is a kick to the balls for every baseball fan with a 360.
The scouting for this game is so advanced that real-world teams have been using it for a couple years. The game company pays local scouts around the world to build their database. Every team from top leagues to Sunday semi-pros ends up in here.
This game is basically advanced Rotisserie baseball for soccer.
Dear AV Club, why do you hate sports?
I know we're supposed to be apathetic to such middle-brow entertainment, but not a single real sports sim on the list? A huge segment of the market completely ignored by the staff. Between the improvement of online play and the advances in imagery and AI, at least one game…
I had to FF through that scene until Tig pulled away - it was just that uncomfortable to watch. As Sepinwall wisely mentioned on his blog, probably all men of a certain age in Charming find Gemma attractive, but to see her try to debase herself like that was painful and I was so glad Tig realized that he had finally…
But PPL didn't sell SC, PPL (and all subsidiaries) was absorbed by McCann Erickson. Saintjohn expected Pryce to be the good soldier he's always been - that's why it was such a kickass moment when everyone realized Pryce could just fire them and they'd be free to do whatever they wanted (which in turn got Pryce fired…
Clearasil hasn't been an SC account since Trudy's father pulled it from Pete in the wake of his refusal to adopt. The implication is that Trudy convinced her father to help Pete out at his new firm.
They'll probably use another pre-built office set; they were splitting time with "Better Off Ted" on the SC set anyway.
Don's becoming a real boy
It was good to see Don take Connie's question to heart. When confronted with some harsh realities, Don finally starts to deal with people openly. Yes, it's a pitch to Peggy but he couldn't fake it with her. He has to get past his petty bullshit with Roger (which leads to the convo in the…
Jurnee Smollett
Although her intro was a little over the top (the guy ran over your bike, but damn that was hostile), I too am looking forward to seeing her work. She's a great young actress (she was the title character in Eve's Bayou and was the female lead in The Great Debaters last year).
It was Princeton - the orange and black was a reference to the Tiger mascot.
JD's a dick
I understand that JD is fully under Joe's spell now but the writers have made a complete douche. Hitting on Julie, calling for pizza just to screw with Saracen - he'll be twirling a handlebar mustache next week.
"Emmy-worthy" refers to Charlie Day's performance, not the episode itself.
"You promised butt stuff!" was probably my second favorite line of the show, after Abed's analogy of himself and Annie and Phoebe and Chandler.
Total Disclosure
The Gemma/Tara relationship is becoming my favorite part of the show. Once Gemma realized backing Tara was the right long-term play rather than Wendy, they've come to a mutual respect and even friendship.
For some strange reason, this was one of three or four movies that the college CCTV station would broadcast on rotation. It came on three times a day my junior year. 2 am - drunken late night with Josie. 10 am - wake up with Josie. 6 pm - dinner with Josie.
Underemployed as in the use of her talents - she's leading role material but has been stuck so far in supporting parts.
Archie Panjabi
Haven't seen the show yet (obviously) but I know she'll do good work. She's yet another Brit underemployed in American TV acting jobs.
