Come on, man. It's a tragedy that he died but in no way was @avclub-4a51fda79bbd54b4e7327dd6559b6c4d:disqus' comment disrespectful.

The final four episodes were a letdown for me, too.

I am a little sick of them being used as cliffhangers, but at least it seemed to be going somewhere this time.

Had she kissed him on the lips wouldn't that have been child molestation? Tommen doesn't look a day over 14.

I agree but she's been working at Dyad for one episode, give her some time. If the entire series is Alison, Cosima and Sarah playing their current roles I'll be pretty disappointed, I'm hoping for something more than a "good versus evil 1 and evil 2" story in the long run. Alison is the only one of them who's had some

Veep is my favourite comedy on TV and I agree that characterization isn't its strong suit. Last season even ended with a joke about a burnout and a sellout (paraphrasing) and it cut to Dan and Mike. Gary is even playing a similar bumbling idiot as he did on Arrested Development.

No but it upsets me every time I see him on screen because he's so, so perfect for this part. The scene at his party was fabulous.

I don't quite agree with the comparisons to Entourage. Other than their basic premises being "group of people get rich" the shows aim to do completely different things. Everything always worked out for Vince and the gang in Entourage because that entire series was wish fulfillment. Every dude, bro, and dudebro and

Aside from the hilarious line about being apolitical and "post-tax," Clovis was represented exactly the same as the tech companies in Silicon Valley (the show, not the place). It even had a near autistic CEO!

Four episodes into Veep the characters were mostly cartoons.

In the first season they made it clear that Helena wasn't acting with any agency, she was being tortured and held captive by that weirdo.

Both sides are crazy, but I think that the Dyad Institute is using Cosima's failing health and aspirations for greatness to persuade or manipulate her to their side. As much as I love her, it wouldn't hurt to give her some character development.

Ooh, if you haven't already then you should watch Leviathan.

For Our Consideration

You might not be able to bear these puns, but it's not up to you to say paws.

I'm straight and find Mads Mikkelson unbelievably attractive. I'm getting one of those heterosexual erections in my penis just thinking about him and his suits.

I'll definitely be checking those out. Thanks.

I'd still like an answer to your question about leaving one's skeleton to a family member. I assume it would be allowed since it's our body, but there might be an issue with getting your skeleton prepared for home use.

The DNA's half-life is probably the most important, but the frog DNA stuff is bullshit. Also, the Giant Elk went extinct 10,000 years ago so if I recall correctly, and I probably don't, that's beyond the deadline.
