Yeah, I can see that was a poor choice of words - trying to sum all of it up in one was not a good decision!

But I think the fact that they went to the well one time too many, even for the audience, was what worked so well this season. I remember watching the beginning of the season when the reveal of his newest, more-of-the-same, affair was revealed, and I actually felt tired and disgusted by him (as much as you can be…

Uhh… the movie? Or the planet?

She's the polar opposite of Alicia in personality, and that's likely why he's so gung-ho about her - and why hooking up with her is giving him this weird energy to fight F/A.

Well put. I'd add that the main "position" of the book is that we should not ignore the horrors of war - the psychological aftermath, and its lingering effects. It doesn't all just end happily ever after when the last battle is over.

*New black character comes in

In Tori Spelling's defense, her last big project was So NoTORIous (wordplay!) on VH1, which was surprisingly funny.  She played a pretty self-deprecating, exaggerated version of her image, like the plastic surgery, richness bubble, and the nepotism (they reenacted her 90210 audition in her disguise of Bory Belling). …

I, too, was mostly thrilled about the dramatic desk clear.  But there was some under-the-sheets sexytime in the preview! Looked like Will, couldn't make out the ladyfriend. Plus there was Peter yelling at Will about being a husband first, which might mean… something?

I agree, it would make sense that Kresteva would look for something underhanded to throw back at Peter/Alicia as a last ditch vote-getting effort, plus revenge.  And since I never thought Peter as Governor made a lot of sense, plot-wise, I've been assuming Kresteva would win the whole time.  Would be a lot more…

Yeah I'm actually… I'm actually now going to stop watching.  I hate when people do this (dramatic "I'll never watch this show again!" declarations) but this was total fucking bullshit.

I certainly hope someone got fired for that blunder.

Crowe was… fine.  Like Nick Jonas was… fine as Marius in the 20th anniversary concert.  Nice voice.  But in both cases, their one amazing song (Stars, Empty Chairs respectively) lost its opportunity to amaze.

The one-eyed glaring while holding his dead(er) zombie daughter with a friggin' shard of glass in the other eye wasn't enough moustache twirling for ya?

So, that's two quarters.  Do they split the cow lengthwise so there are 2 forequarters and 2 hindquarters (like, 1 per leg)?  Or is it split down the width, so it was the bottom-back and top-front?

Well said.  I think her initial anger at Jake flirting with so many other girls came more from trying to find something to be upset about, than real anger.

I suppose I should also post this, though I didn't want to fall into the standard "Peggy is just like meee!" trope.  But man, did this one hit close to home.  I worked for 5 years at a company where I had a true mentor as a boss - and admittedly could often cross into co-dependency.  We were a team, worked late hours,…
