I enjoyed Debra Messing's, "I'm youth AIDS!" gaffe.

I enjoyed seeing all those bloopers from "The Best of Both Worlds," mostly because it's such an intense, humorless (but not in a bad way) episode. Watching Stewart chafe in his Locutus costume was oddly satisfying.

Well…It's hard to call that blackface when he's not being made up to look African-American. He's a dark-skinned Klingon. So, even though they're making his skin darker, he is in no way dredging up any minstrelsy stereotypes or even present-day references to black culture.

Whew. I always thought that Joan's rape was the best illustration of "It was a different time…" in the series. By today's standards, that is unquestionably rape: She said no. Several times. She tried to get away. She was overpowered.

He looks like an ex-boyfriend of mine — the one who was my first love, the one who helped me know what to look for in my husband. So, for the first few seasons, I had a soft spot for Harry Crane. Now I'm so deeply disappointed in him.

I've often thought about that, as well as Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys in The Americans. Yes, they're actors, and they're professionals. But even the professionals are drawing from their own personal experiences when making things feel real on screen, and I wonder how they sort out the emotions they feel for the…

I was so surprised to see her make the decision she did. I did not expect her to stay a willing informant. She probably figured that her safest move was to prove that she's too much of an asset to lose — and she's probably right.

Granted, I didn't watch any of the lawyer-based shows like Ally McBeal (I did get Matlock by osmosis because my mom was really into it), but I suspect that BCS is a much more accurate portrayal of how lawyers actually work — and yes, the show makes it interesting. Can anyone who's seen other shows about lawyers give…

My favorite is still the scales of justice ash tray.

I loved that. It was the glance at the religious iconography that made it awesome. Jimmy is willing to be whoever it takes to close the deal.

They made a point of showing at least one diaper.

So, next week has two episodes as well? They're burning through these quickly.

Hm. Your comment made me wonder if Gabriel was the reason why Philip and Elizabeth weren't close at the beginning of the series. They could only become close once he was no longer manipulating them to be apart (and Claudia didn't have enough of a relationship with them to maintain the manipulation).

I caught a glimpse of her in the preview for next week.

I was impressed that Martha kept her cool better in front of Taffet this week. She was wise enough to point out that she knows the pen isn't from the supply closet — she can't be COMPLETELY ignorant, as right now she's been treated less as a suspect and more as a resource. (Of course, she IS a suspect, because…

Man, when this show starts asking about Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, I'll be ON IT!

The Thatcher looked better. I immediately recognized who she was supposed to be, then squinted at the other one and thought, "Well, I mean, she has to be the Queen, right? I guess."

I do indeed think that the Kettlemans are worse than the kids from the premiere, from a representational standpoint. The kids did what Jimmy told them to: dress up, show up, and shut up. The Kettlemans are loose cannons; as Kim said, they do whatever they want. They would be a NIGHTMARE in a courtroom.

Wow, Craig vs. Ted. Tough call. Ted was sooooo monumentally stupid that my gut instinct was to say he's dumber, whereas Craig is just bulldozed by a crazy wife, but given what Kim said about how stupidly Craig embezzled the funds… Prior to this episode, I'd have said Ted. Now I think Craig is the most pathetic,…

I love how fully Jimmy commits to his roles. His patter during bingo was perfectly calibrated to his audience.
