Plane crashes on the flight back from Atlanta. Too on-the-nose?

My heart goes out for Deacon. It's hard to look cool or bad ass or anything when you huff away from the table while adjusting your purse.

@avclub-0d4efaa2c9d1041eb9b8b5319eec8531:disqus  Skyfall: it's hard to make hacking look good on the silver screen when it doesn't even look good in real life. Bond should be able to break the odd code, here and there, considering he's a spy, and all. Especially one that's just a disguised map of his hometown.

Random unnecessary best friend is necessary, but don't expand her role. The Thanksgiving episode made too much of her, but it makes sense that Mindy would have someone she could talk to about whatever's going on in the episode.

I thought she sang rather nicely, myself. No Etta James, or anything, but serviceable.

Those "bits of … how they did it," authentic or not, are part of what makes crime stories fun. Like the episode where someone started using dental cement to counterfeit casino chips.
