Good heavens, don't mention Ben and Kate.  I'm still not over seeing Lennon Parham on Mad Men and remembering Best Friends Forever.

In the books, people who survive greyscale (mostly children IIRC, it is almost always fatal in adults) are considered cursed, and some of the races in the book kill the survivors out of "pity".  Some people also think survivors can pass the disease on to others.

I remember when Harry didn't know anything about television and was about to screw up that soap opera business, and Joan saved his ass and didn't get anything for it, so Harry can go fuck himself.  If that position was based on merit Joan would have gotten Harry's job after that.

The labor problems drove the stock price down and ChumHum bought up enough stock to force a hostile takeover.  Alicia thought that someone at the firm alerted ChumHum to the situation so they could buy out the firm.  Of course, I thought the ChumHum guy hated LG so much they would never be a client again, so I'm…

I assume you mean Alan Ruck and Richard Kind.  The third one is probably Michael Boatman or Jennifer Esposito, unless you count Barry Bostwick as a character actor.

20-Years-From-Now Barney was wearing a ring last week.

Tessa did mention to Dalia how Jenna told her everything and breakups can be really painful, so that seems to be a point for Jenna's story being at least partially true.  Also, I don't think Dalia has a crush on George, she sees him as the father she wishes she had.  She even describes George as "Daddy Altman" in her…

Dallas Roberts is not a bad actor - I think he made the most out of a bad situation. Now he hopefully can go back to being Owen on The Good Wife.

Christopher Lloyd is wearing a plum-colored tie

It's probably not a deliberate reference, but Reverend Jim from "Taxi" went to Harvard before he started doing drugs and dropped out. I had fun imagining that this character was what Jim would have turned into if he had stayed in school.

If you are talking about early in the pregnancy, they actually had Lori almost make that decision when she first found out she was pregnant. She had Glenn get her the meds and then changed her mind. Did you want everyone to vote on it and make Lori abort if she didn't want to do it? If you are talking about right…

I'm kind of old, so the last scene reminded me of Star Wars.

Cary's dad found out that Alicia was made partner and Cary wasn't, so he decided to try and get a partnership for his son. He turned some small concerns from his board into major doubts, and lied about his company wanting to leave the firm. He was talking to Diane about how his board wanted a partner to be deeply…

The best thing about the episode is that it didn't turn out to be the bank hostage plot line every cop series seems contractually obligated to have.

@avclub-bbb04f2a70775131fa0397bbdb4c03de:disqus  - so he's Joffrey.  I do remember itching to punch him in the face.

Not to mention that she's been a detective for like a week and a half, give her a break!  She should be consulting with Sherlock on her first case to make sure she's on the right track and not missing anything.  That's what mentors/ trainers are for.  You don't just tell people things and then fling them off the cliff…

She didn't have to get off the phone - Sherlock said he already solved the case and wanted to see if she could too.  That sounds like something that could wait until morning, or a least 10 minutes until Joan finished her phone call.

Plus it gave us Linda shaking her rack, which might have been the biggest laugh out loud moment for me.

I thought at least Kalinda would be following Shawn so Alicia could confirm her suspicions.  Of course, I also thought Bishop's sister would know the threats were coming and either not decide to testify in the first place or be immune to the threats. Was she not in the courtroom the whole time seeing what was…

@avclub-b9c02265372b8bd5fc0d2cf6a2cc751f:disqus - it doesn't happen at any job anymore, if it ever did.  I understand your main point, but I wanted to point out that there were changes, just not as many as at a normal job.
