I'm glad Corey Stoll is getting recognition somewhere.

Obviously they have to go with Emilia Clarke since they both have the same last name.

Are doves native to California? Are they likely to stay still when a loud vehicle is coming towards them?

I like how on the front page it looks like Julianna Margulies is holding handcuffed hands with the guy from Run DMC and is trying to do the same with Childish Gambino but he's having none of it.

Dublin gets Pixies and Arcade Fire together? Friggin' Dublin.

I was thinking that having The Most Obnoxious Guests And Samm Levine would have the opposite effect and actually be fun to listen to, but I found it thoroughly unpleasant. I am the worst kind of DLM listener. The main reason I listen is for the games; the comedy is a close second.

The movie's title is Inside Llewyn Davis. Not Llewelyn. It seems like half the people who talk about it call him Llewellyn. Probably because Llewellyn is a slightly well known name, while Llewyn may have just been made up for this movie.

This show is great. I don't have anything to add, but this isn't getting many comments so here's another.

A-

Brody checked the guy's pulse for a bit, which makes this more realistic than most TV suffocations.

For a brief instant I thought Michael Kelly had a talk show.

Beep plus.

I don't think Akbari needed to be a Big Bad; he was more like a short-term MacGuffin.

I'm sure if there really was anything to worry about then Desiree would have noticed it too. It was just an echo of what Albert mentioned about hearing things when you're half asleep, along with Antoine worrying for his own kids after his student was killed.

A. I'm going to be especially angry when they announce next year's Emmy nominations.

The theme music has really grown on me. Does anyone know where it's from? Google will not tell me. Was it written for the show or adapted from an existing piece? I'd like to hear a longer version.

If anyone's still reading this… I've been looking up apostrophe standards, particularly those in the New York Times. According to this long thing from 2007, until a few years previous, the NYT used apostrophes to pluralize numbers and acronyms, because that made it easier to read in all-caps headlines and they wanted

I don't put them there; I think it's awful to use apostrophes like that. I'm just saying it's not technically incorrect.

Also, contractions. Also, pluralizing numbers and acronyms (she won several BAFTA's in the 1970's) is acceptable, even though I really hate how that looks. I think a name like Grammy or Tony is in the same vein. Saying "Grammy's" or "Tony's" looks awful, but so does "Grammys" and "Tonys" or "Grammies" and "Tonies".

I think that's an acceptable way to pluralize those. I haven't seen much reference to Tonies or Grammies.
