From Sonia: "I love Peggy, but she has been less and less sympathetic since the first season, when she was at her lowest point. She’s brilliant and vulnerable and temperamental, but she’s also grown to embody privilege in surprising ways. And though she has had a fantastic struggle, she sometimes doesn’t realize that…

a.) Because I'm not getting Game Of Thrones screeners after this week, it makes more sense to do these as a crosstalk just because they'll be published sooner (and, indeed, they're going up a few hours earlier than they have in the past). Doing straightforward essays on both in the same night just wasn't going to…

This is seriously the first time this is mentioned?

And yet Sonia is one of the biggest fans of True Detective in the critical community. It's almost as if generalizations have no meaning!

Just speaking for TV Club staff, it's hugely diverse, in terms of gender, sexuality, and race. It's not as good as it could be, but when it started, it was pretty much ALL white guys, and now it's really, really not. At least in this area, I try to practice what I preach.

I wasn't a huge fan of this one or the next one. But both are pretty clearly laying groundwork for whatever the endgame is, so I wasn't too perturbed.

At least our site is scalable. When you read it on a PC screen, it reconfigures itself for that screen; when you read it on an iPad, etc. It doesn't look like HitFix is scaling, which is why it looks so goddamn weird on a PC.

You should! It's having as good a season as any in recent memory, but don't take MY word for that. Take the word of any one of the dozens of critics who agree, both on staff here and elsewhere! The Americans is the best!

Most web design is moving toward being optimized for smartphones and tablets, where it used to be optimized for PCs. That's because traffic from handheld devices is surging, while traffic from PCs is dropping. It's an awkward, ungainly time, but that's more or less why it's happening.

We don't have the money.

You act like Piecat isn't America's most beloved character!

I never even mildly disliked any of the episodes. It was a mess, but I still had a good time watching it.

Nah. January was FAR bigger in terms of shows starting up, both on cable and network. January is the new September. April is the new January. I don't know what September is.

I like to imagine that conversation was…

Sarah's children have no problems getting pregnant/getting others pregnant. It's entirely possible Drew reproduces using spores, and Berto will appear with a bouncing bundle of joy next year.

My parents were okay with my sister and her boyfriend (now husband) sharing a bed mostly, but always weirded out by my girlfriend and me sharing a bed. Which seems backward.

I got the Internet when I was 13 or so, so I've spent the vast majority of my life having it around. But I do think there's something to the thought that kids today remember less because they can just look things up. That's not necessarily a bad thing—having a giant, collective unconscious that remembers all as a…

I was remembering when a friend and I tried to make a list of all of the Disney animated movies after hearing the number in the promotional run-up to some film's release (I think it was 40, but that might be wrong), and we could only get about 25 of them. If my kids want to do this, we'll just look it up. It's great,…

Double plus good.

KELO was based in Sioux Falls. I forget the call letters for the tower in Pierre. Reliance was KPLO.
