The set design and costuming are among the show's standout accomplishments already, but I have to give a bit of credit to Ryan Murphy's direction. He's got a style that doesn't always work, but tonight's wide shot across Joan's pool as she and Hedda walk-and-talk was beautiful, as was the closing long take of Harriet…

My thinking is Jaqen actually takes care of the Waif, as the Faceless Men do not deal in vengeance or personal crusades, and the Waif is on one hell of a personal crusade. Jaqen's testing her and she's failing.

Cersei has no hair because Olenna snatched her god damn wig.

He was pretty solid in "Queen of Earth", too.

It's one of those perpetual self-fulfilling prophecy time loop things. Lost did it with Daniel Farraday, Misfits did it with Simon, and now Game of Thrones has with Hodor.

…BANKS!

I love Kimmy for a lot of its humor, but the Mad Men reference put me on the floor.

A part of me still can't believe 30 Rock put Jane Krakowski in blackface TWICE.

"We discussed this, Elizabeth."

In this week's episode of "People Who Were In This Episode That Were Also On 30 Rock":

Mad Men developed a reputation for having a single episode per season that broke from the tone and format established by the other episodes of that particular season. This always occurred in Episode 7. It was Mad Men's way of breaking out of its own narrative structure and doing something jarring.

This is my favorite episode of the new season, and one of my favorites of the entire series.

I sort of get the feeling that Stewart is a bonding catalyst for Hannah and Rose. Hannah has weight as a character, and her relationship with Rose is more meaningful than Rose's with Stewart. I suspect - and hope - that Hannah's aversion to Stewart's casual sexism and generally obnoxious demeanor will lead Rose to…

Yup. Josh points out in the episode that their options are to 1) Return her to the farm she came from, where she would undoubtedly be killed for her meat, then packaged and sold or 2) kill her themselves for her meat, skipping the more inhumane farm process.

It's not impossible, technically, but it's still not really the same. It's a psychological thing. It gets drilled into your head that This Is The Way It Has To Be, and you spend years believing it, fighting for it, resisting your true self because it jeopardizes your ability to join the club, only to eventually come…

Joe has his individual Tribal Immunity Look, with that glamorous necklace and his long wavy hair. We've seen it back to back weeks now. It cracks me up how much of a diva he is without trying to be.

I think it's purely arrogance, unless there was a group discussion that targeted Wentworth because someone argued that Ciera's brash comments can only come from someone with an idol. Perhaps they decided to skip Ciera altogether in the hopes of getting her to waste an idol. Splitting the vote would still have gotten…

1. I think Ciera's eyerolls are A+ visual humor and 2. I don't think Ciera lasts much longer unless other players can draw more attention to themselves. She's smart, but her frustration at being in the bottom third of the game and her outspoken desire to get others to play more competitively could place a target on…

It was smart of her to do so, since she had no way of knowing if she was going to be the one targeted. She even said, before Tribal, that she really didn't want to use her immunity idol this early - and I was afraid that without concrete evidence of her name being the chosen vote, she wouldn't play it. It was an…

Even if Ciera and Abi had voted Wentworth, Wentworth can't vote for herself (or, at least, wouldn't, obviously) so her lone vote for Savage would have sent him off.
