AVQ&A did a feature on narrative cliches. If I was on staff, this would have been mine. I've hated this kind of shit since Big Bird was the only one who ever saw Snuffy (although that's slightly different). It's the…

I don't think we've seen Angela's girlfriend except for the one scene in the photo shop. The look Nucky gave her was offscreen. I'm thinking Nucky would be more concerned about her social life when Jimmy was fighting the Hun. It's likely he wouldn't care what she's doing after Jimmy went west. Nucky wouldn't care…

Also, keep in mind that Roger's not in danger of losing his fortune. He's depressed, not suicidal.

I keep forgetting
that the gang didn't end up buying SC. They just stole a bunch of accounts and started their own thing. While Cooper, Roger and Don probably put up some collateral to get SCDP off the ground, I'm guessing SCDP would be profitable enough at this point to pay the partners back.

I started to panic a little when Faye was waiting outside Don's apartment. He had to have gone straight home from the office. There's no way he'd lost that perfume and poontang smell.

Penguins
Sorry if this show has already been mentioned, but I have no problem saying that The Penguins of Madagascar is the funniest show on TV.

Boston, Southie, etc.
This isn't a huge gripe or anything. But doesn't it seem incredibly lazy to set/film your movie in Boston these days? It seems as if directors and producers think that filming in Boston is 50% of what you need to make a successful, interesting film. The other 50% is to make sure you have…

Christ on a cracker!
It's a chip and dip!

Baby Gene
I'm sure there's a logical explanation for why Don doesn't take Gene on weekends. It'd probably have something to do with a 60's man refusing to learn how to take care of a baby (feeding, diapers, etc.). But we haven't seen a single interaction between Don and Gene this entire season. This can't be an…

Betty made a comment in Season 1 about "big girl clothes." Something about how she had made her own clothes (school project or something) and realized that she wasn't as big anymore.

Party of Five
I've never minded Edward Norton. I can actually say that his presence in a film could be a determining factor in whether I would consider watching said film. High praise, I'd say. You know, he seems okay.

Sunday drive,
Past,
Your own hall of fame.

Wait!
Snoop's a girl? Dude, Snoop's a girl!

Whatever Happens, Happens!
Let's not be in a hurry to take that quote out of the context of tonight's episode. Yeah, it's a big picture think, along with all things Lost.

Motherfucker. No Zodiac.

This could be funny if
Rickey Gervais played David Brent playing Austin Powers.

I don't know how you girls walk around with those things.

Prep: I'm not sure what it added to the series, but Don said his father was killed by a horse way back in Season 1.

Radon
There's a public service announcement that runs on the local ESPN radio station here in Dayton, Ohio. It's one woman talking to another, skeptical woman about the dangers of radon. The skeptical one says, "I don't smell any RADON in my house!" She says it all snotty. I'm waiting for the perfect time to use that…

I just defended one of 13 local kids (Butler County, Ohio) charged with participating in a criminal gang. They associated themselves with Bloods (clothing, signs, graffiti, Tupac, etc.) but obviously weren't truly connected to the real thing. Most of the evidence against them was taken from their Myspace pages.
