OK, but when do we get the American version with Hugh Dancy and Nina Arianda?

I'd make a case for "No More" as the most important song, but it's a complicated musical and I'm still not sure I fully understand how all the parts fit together. I think it's probably Sondheim's most difficult and layered work

The audience knows that, but Jon is still very young. Besides, they need to build Slynt back up (at least as a political threat, if not a tactical one) so Edd can eventually "fetch Jon a block," and have it mean something.

Where's Azor Ahai String? Where's Stannis!?

This episode also did a great job of adding some depth to Alliser Thorne, who until now had been a bit of a cartoonish obstacle for Jon. He gets a couple great "go get em" speeches, an epic battle with Tormund, and suddenly becomes a guy we're rooting for. That's a really nice shift, and is going to make next season's…

Peggy never could have given the Carousel pitch, because a pitch that emotional and personal could only have credibly come from a man. Peggy giving the pitch there would have boxed the "nostalgia" there as a "feminine" emotion for female buyers. Contrast that with the Burger Chef pitch, which was about something more…

In hindsight, I can't believe I missed the Popsicles reference. That's incredible.

Cranston became a cartoon character over the last couple seasons of Breaking Bad. It was perfect for that show, but Elisabeth Moss' work has been more grounded. I think she's the only one who can hold her own with Hamm in the really complicated emotional moments.

I don't think Cutler's a bad guy, I think we're just conditioned to root for the characters we've known longer. The episode starts with Cutler calling Don an ineloquent bully, and ends with Don talking Ted out of quitting (something Cutler deeply wanted). I'm willing to believe that Don may have won over a small part…

Here's some context on the "disobeying orders" shooting:

I actually think Aukerman is my favorite panelist the show pulls in. He's really good at pushing past the obvious jokes in any given segment and trying really weird stuff.

As far as people I've discovered, I was really surprised how good Brandon Johnson was, as he tends not to get the best material on NTSF:SD:SUV.

Out of curiosity, who are some comedians who you think aren't well served by the format?

I guess it could be more free-flowing and British-like, and I guess the internet angle is a little bit condescending, but at the end of the day, they're giving lots of screen time to 12 interesting comedians a week. No other show on television pulls that much comedic talent in (especially female and non-white talent),…

They nearly always have at least one woman on the panel. I'm not sure any show on television is doing more to combat the idea that "women aren't funny," just through presenting an overwhelming number of funny women, day after day.

Greatest of all time: https://screen.yahoo.com/wo…

Putting aside overrated, how many other 30 minute shows in the history of television could be described as "self-indulgent" or "pretentious"? You may not like it, but he's definitely doing something new and different (and something quite a few people like). That alone justifies its existence.

Oh my glob you guys. Drama bomb!

Ah, well that explains why the Mark Wahlberg section on Doug Loves Movies was pre-recorded this week.
