For the second time in the series, Don has told somebody his "You can start over" philosophy of life and the person has hanged himself in response. I might not have thought about it if I weren't in the process of rewatching the earlier seasons, but his last scene with Lane and his last scene with his brother were very…

Principal Belding's appearance was more jarring the Rory Gilmore's.

Did anyone recognize the song playing over the end credits?

Maybe this has been covered in the comments before, but I'm curious: anybody know why the column quit covering Slate's Culture Gabfest? The competition with "Reasonable Discussions"?

"But the titular acronym can also be read through the lens of evolutionary science as referencing mitochondrial DNA"

I also saw "A Separation" this weekend and also thought it was gripping and extremely well done.

Nathan, you guys should come to our Full Frame documentary festival in Durham, NC. This year it's April 12-15. My wife and I will be volunteering there. We'd love to meet you! It's always well attended, and some of the usual suspects, like Steve James, Chris Hegedus and DA Pennebaker, James Marsh, and Ross McElwee,…

Worst Dylan cover, hands down: The Wonder Who? (the Four Seasons) take on "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright." Guaranteed to make you want to jab something sharp in your ears.

"Project Nim" was robbed in the documentary feature category. That was the most devastating movie I saw this year. And "Tabloid," and "The Interrupters," and "The Loving Story." It was also a better year for docs than you'd know from looking at the nominations.

Time for me to dust off my "My Mother, the Car" screenplay!

I couldn't tell if he was actively resisting touching Josh's chest, or if his hands just don't work very well.

"Scooch over, Mr. Hoover!"

I can understand that it wasn't brought up in the interview. But it also didn't come up after the interview, when the APD/DEA were assessing whether there's grounds for further investigation. Gus was impressively cool in the interview, but they let him off pretty easy. They must really be worried about pissing off…

Hank has another piece of evidence against Gus that didn't come up in the interview: that Gale received, but didn't pay for, some sort of industrial-grade piece of lab equipment that came from Gus's front company. That seems to have been forgotten about.

Ah—good catch, Yabels! I remember seeing that, but it didn't sink in.

Well, sure, I assumed that about the first one, too, but disappearing a truck like that can't be easy. Mike's great, but he can't take care of everything.
