Agreed. And there were several scenes where I was all but sure the camera would pan and reveal Frank had killed himself—two or three times when Christine showed up at his house, the fade to the next morning with Rachel in the hotel room, the moment Doug was alarmed by what he found in the shower (which ended up being

I can see how the 4th wall gimmick will be divisive, but I personally love it. Yes, there are moments when I think, "Okay, I could have figured that out myself" (i.e. when Frank explains his odd relationship with God while praying), but for the most part I applaud the show for dusting off something akin to the

Agreed. I'd love some sort of poll to determine how fast people gobbled up this show.

I kept trying to figure out who the actor was playing Tusk, only to realize it's the dude who fucked over everyone in Deadwood.

I want all of her outfits.

@Scrawler2:disqus Agreed. Even though Frank wiped down the car, I was taken out of the moment because I knew there had to be video cameras somewhere in that garage, especially if a US Congressman resides in the building. It will be interesting to see if/whether Frank's crime is ever revealed.

I watched all the way through the first forty minutes of Episode 11, but then I had to leave for class right after Frank closed Russo's garage door. I was certain that Russo would somehow revive himself and realize Frank's deceit, and I spent most of the afternoon telling everyone I know to watch this show. I came

There are so many shows I wish had ended after their first season. "Glee," in particular, would be a fun show to remember by its quirky, ambitious first season instead of whatever it is now. From what I've heard, "Downton" is something of an anomaly since it was created to be a single season or two but keeps getting

Matthew and Mary as a couple are the textbook reasons why fans should never want their will-they-won't-they couples to get together. This was almost worse than the "Moonlighting" effect (the real textbook case for this situation).

Will it be like Cloud Atlas and reuse all the same actors in various roles/genders/species?

I think there's a lot to be said in how Sybil died and how Matthew died. Sybil's death was chilling—you KNEW she was done for before the baby was even born, and watching the family deal with her death was really a big factor of the season. Matthew's death, in contrast, felt very manufactured to fit an outside need of

Lots of folks want Evelyn Napier, Mary's would-be beau from season 1, to return and romance Edith. I'd be interested in seeing that.

Or Sybil's funeral. If she's as rich as they said she was, she surely could have hopped a boat when she got the news.

I'm about 90% thru "11/22/63" and just can't get excited to pick it back up. I'm literally at 11-22-63 in the story—-FINALLY—and I keep forgetting to pick the book up. I think his older books really ended nicely, but I agree that "Under the Dome" failed to sink the landing. **SPOILERS** The alien kids thing was

I'm really excited about this. When I read the novel, I pictured Brad Leland (Buddy Garrity from "Friday Night Lights") as Big Jim, but this is absolutely the next best thing. I was anxious about the series adaptation, but this makes me more enthusiastic.

Spawning the inevitable, 5-6 year spinoff documentary: "THE DIVORCE."

They lost me when Michael drove into the lake. I was a die-hard fan until that point, but that's where I decided to stop watching regularly.

I can see the PBS ad now: ""The Office: US," a new and exciting documentary conceived by Ken Burns and filmed over a decade. Over 100 hours of laughter, tears, confusion, and pointlessness in the American Workplace."

Agreed. This is also the house where the whole family was generally okay with the eldest daughter having premarital sex with a dude who ultimately died in her bed. That certainly wasn't acceptable by pre-war standards for this class.

Agreed. Brad Pitt was a revelation in that.
