I teared up several times during the episode. I broke the Swanson code.

I laughed so hard when I saw that.

Someone please give Amy Poehler an emmy now. The scene where she cries in the voting booth and the other one where Ann tells her she won were so beautifully acted.

Another thing that points to NBC's failure is with regards to their homegrown talent like Mindy Kaling. She started off as a writer on The Office and moved to a more prominent position on the show as the years went by but they passed on her pilot script which has now gotten a series order from Fox. At the same time

Honestly though I think every episode contained a decent amount of scares and/or creepy stuff. Though ofcourse it was balanced by bare assed Dylan McDermott crying or the hilarious gimp suit that used in drop in like a next door neighbour on a sitcom.

I'm sorry I can't measure up to your high level of intellectual conversation.

The episode felt like more like a drama than a comedy ( I don't blame them since they had so much plot to cover in 22 minutes) but it was so heartfelt and touching, I didn't care. Some of the emotional moments were also much more naked than the show has ever been (that scene with Leslie crying in the voting booth).

Weirdly some of the sloppiness in the dates and the immortal dog adds to the fun silliness of the show. No good soap is complete without  botched details and silly revelations.

I think David Clark works perfectly as a cypher. We've seen him only through Emily and Victoria's eyes and for both of them he represents an important and positive part of their past they've lost. They're hardly likely to remember the bad parts since nostalgia washes out all the negative stuff.

Can we discuss the season finale of Parks & Rec? I'm not going to start off yet because I'm sure there are people who want to avoid spoilers.

Am I the only one who feels Community has been majorly disappointing this season? I've been revisiting the series recently and one thing that I find lacking is the sort of structure and character arcs that made season 1 and 2 so good. In season 2, we explored Abed's personality, Jeff/Annie's sparks, Troy being forced

Weird, this was the third NBC thursday night comedy to reference Ken Burns in the past couple of weeks after Community and Parks.

That was hands down the best line of the episode. In the last couple of seasons, Jenna has become the MVP of 30 Rock.

Honestly this season of Parks hasn't been that bad. It has had a few weak episodes (and a lot of really good ones) but unlike most sitcoms, it has forward momentum and has been developing it's characters.

All I can say is that I fucking love this show and I hope it gets renewed for another season. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy just like Parks & Rec does. And yes I have had a bottle of wine.

It’s basically Taxi!

The problem with television right now though is that it's dominated mostly by a Whitney point of view.

That scene with Brienne and Catelyn was just magnificent. Fantastic acting by both actresses. Catelyn is one of my favorite characters in the series and it doesn't hurt that Michelle Fairley is brilliant in her role. I sure hope she gets some meaty material over the next couple of seasons, assuming she's not killed

Good Lord I would love to see HBO tackle a Dune adaptation. It would be a perfect pairing with Game of Thrones.

More than that I wonder how the introduction of this smoke monster creature will change the conflicts dynamic. Till now the show didn't have to bother about people getting killed through non medieval methods but now with the introduction of this monster and later fully grown dragons, will it be sort of difficult to
