I'd be shocked if Terriers didn't get a second season. Louie got a second season. Archer got a second season. Damages got a second season. The Riches got a second season. Hell, Dirt got a second season.

It's a great show, but it all depends on what your preferences are for how you watch television shows. Personally, I like to follow TV shows as they air if I can (so I can be a part of the "pop culture discussion" on them), so if it was me, I'd put a priority on Eastbound and Down*, Sons, and Mad Men** because if you

If I hear you right, I was thinking the same thing during this episode: why is Father Ashby so hellbent on not giving the kid back to the Sons (you know, other then plot necessity)?

Two Things I've Learned About Will
A) For an intelligence analyst, he'd probably be the single worst spy ever.

Manic Pixie Dream Girl
Last week, I was heavily critical of the Andy-Will scenes because I felt it was a version of a MDPG scenario and I didn't understand why Andy would keep pursuing him after he spent the entire episode blatantly ignoring her and giving her "that's a stupid question" condescending glances whenever

Your favorite band sucks.

"Hey man, that stuff I said about killing him, please don't tell that to anyone, especially if he winds up dead."

I'm with on these first two episodes, but last season was weak? Last season was the best season of Sunny so far. As I rewatch the old episodes whenever they pop up, it seems to be the older episodes that haven't aged quite as well.

It'll get a second season. ALL FX shows get at least a second season.

Peggy and the New Left
I think the "Peggy meets the counterculture" scenes are really turning out great. I love how they are contrasting Peggy's desire to be part of that youth culture and still be a businesswoman. The dialogue was perfect, from Peggy's defense that many of the companies she worked with were family

Or LOST.

The Andy and Will Scenes
I actually didn't care for at all. It hit a nerve on one of my most hated screenplay cliches: Off-putting, uninterested man meets woman who falls for him for no apparent reason whatsoever, then continues to pursue him despite him basically treating her like shit. Again, for no apparent

Going Against The Grain
This has a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It got a B-.

I loved that scene and how it displayed another menacing side of API.

Shouldn't They Have Fired Joey A While Ago?
Along with seemingly half the staff of SCDP? Because they don't ever seem to do anything? For some reason, that's really started to bother me this season. The "95% goofing off, 5% actually doing something resembling work" worked at the old Sterling Cooper because it was a

The internet has made it so hard to even address comments like these.

Will's Sexy Neighbor
I noticed that the end of the CD (it's been a few days, so my pretty terrible memory thinks it was something like, "I see someone watching me") was cut with scenes of Will's neighbor looking at him through the window. Does that mean that Will's neighbor is actually another person spying on him?

Ahh, my mistake then, guys. Ignore what I said. Must have zoned out there during the whole part about being in Belfast. This is why I'm glad I get to watch television in the internet age. I'd probably be lost otherwise.

I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain that it was Cameron Hayes who was driving the van. The getup the driver was wearing looked identical to the getup Cameron was wearing when he showed up at that woman's house with Abel. I'm guessing he went there to drop off Abel before going on the shooting spree.

Hale's Death
I thought was done a little sloppy, maybe even more so than the prospect's in the finale (and I'm guessing, like the prospect, it might have had something to do with a contract dispute with the actor). Whether you liked him or not, he WAS a major character in the last two seasons and they killed him off
