Games 5 and 6 were awesome. They are really making up for 1-4 right now, and Game 7 will be insane. I look forward to a third straight game of being a nervous wreck.

Going to watch "Postpartum" tomorrow night. So far, this season has been one of the best I've ever seen. Also, what a performance by Forest Whitaker.

This game was amazing, that's for sure. The series prior to this? Eh. Not much excitement and been pretty one sided at times, which was disappointing, especially for two great teams like the Hawks and Kings.

Cuba is not gone. It's still there; it's just under the ocean now.

Friday Night Lights—"The Son" (4x05) aka TEARS

I feel like it was a great culmination of Don's arc this year: he's in a better place with his daughter and Peggy and Roger, but then again, his situation at work brings him right back around under the agency he and the company were avoiding a few seasons ago.

Now I kind of wish they had dropped the news of Bert's death in the middle of an Oh Meredith scene. Like, maybe when Roger's calling Don to tell him, Meredith somehow gets on the line and starts consoling/hitting on Don.

Bert: Don't get too comfy.
Don: Oh, fine. *Pulls his pants back up*

I don't want to see that. Anyway, I don't think they built up anything that wasn't already there (it was just lost for a while). The half-season was about Don essentially re-connecting with Peggy, not in a romantic way, but through shared experiences and emotional states that culminated in that fantastic scene last…

They gave you a full season of Low Winter Sun, and it's your own damn fault you didn't swallow that!

If they use that episode to show us more of Bert singing and dancing, followed by a tap-dancing Ken making his way into the picture, followed by Bert breaking into "My Way" as Peggy and Don slow dance to the side and Pete yells/sings at people, then it'll all be worth it.

Peggy and Roger—Moss and Slattery shine here—are easily my two favorite characters in this episode (Bert singing and dancing to close out the half season ain't bad, either). Peggy gets her own carousel moment, and I like how the pitch is connected to her relationship with Julio, while Bert's death brings out a…

Next year, we get the Adventures of Alana Bloom and Mason Verger.

Okay, I think I've calmed down enough—haha, yeah right—to try and articulate my thoughts on this finale. It seems to be a nightmare and a horrifying dose of reality all at once, really emphasizing just how lost Will's become over the last 12 episodes. His confidence certainly grew as the season progressed, but he went…

If Jack's gone, I hope they just don't show him again until the series finale, when someone (assuming there's anyone still alive), goes "Oh, wait, didn't we leave Jack in the pantry or something? Completely forgot about that." *Smash cut to black*

"HANNIBAL! …where's Jack?"
"He's in the pantry."

Oh, Abigail. When she showed up, I was all "FUCK YOU ABIGAIL FOR PUSHING ALANA OUT OF THE WINDOW, BUT I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE BACK, AND KACEY ROHL'S AWESOME."

All that was missing was Chilton walking in, laughing, and pushing Hannibal out of the plane (followed by a gorgeous shot of him floating down through the sky).

I don't think I can ever recover from this episode. Everything was perfect: the perpetual ticking, the rest of the score in general, the acting, the direction. Even the first forty minutes or so had this driving nature to each conversation that continued to build up the tension, and it all culminated in a horrifying,…
