I had the same question. He has a great singing voice if it is him - not at all like his speaking voice.

Exactly. Was an excellent scene, and loved how the camera didn't show it, but instead moved up to the air vent where we could all hear what was going on. Basic excellent voyeuristic cinema - makes the audience "complicit," similar to Hitchcock's opening for "Psycho."

Makes total sense. She was a damn good lawyer before she pleased her husband by quitting and becoming Super Mom, and it would make sense that Perry, with an out of control ego, would put her in charge of the finances to keep her busy with a "job."

It's "only" manslaughter. A massive crime of passion that would confuse any jury, especially in No Cal. But the women getting such a comeuppance, coordinating their stories and having such a deep understanding of each other, was the high point of the series.

First, so sorry about the reviewer's personal experiences. The tragedy of a show like this is that it can move beyond "entertainment" to reflect unimaginable horrors of abuse. As a kid, I learned of an aunt whose husband may or may not have done so. And at the same age, we had a male bus driver whose wife, we all

Was worth it just to hear "clam." First, thanks for giving us the actress' name who played Julie - Jenn Lyon. She's not listed in the cast for the show in IMDB! Sloppy of the producers, and indicative of how sloppy Crashing can be, though also pretty funny a lot of the time. I was cruising along with this episode

I only found out about his stand up career after Mad Men. He was so great on MM I had no idea he was super funny

She nailed it. She's so polished now she doesn't have to try so hard, like she used to, and it makes her so much better.

Made only funnier because he played such a loser in Mad Men

MORE NASIM PEDRAD, please. She's perfect; caustic, funny, dorky, self-assured, needy. SNL never knew how to use her, and neither did Mullaney. Almost from the beginning I've praised New Girl as the smartest use of a perfectly cast group of actors in years. The chemistry is fluid and (usually) allows the funny to

Ratings and reality. It sucks. I may have only seen one or two Big Bang episodes, but it's enough to know that millions of viewers don't like what I do. Give me New Girl any day.

I can't see how it's necessary to the story; in fact the police questioning scenes bog down the story.

I think that was the point. White slavery and under age rape is also illegal. The daughter was taking the common teenage step of ignoring law and addressing the selective cynicism in how it only applies to some.

Chekov's rule was broken in half by Mad Men. Pete's rifle never went off.

Plus, multiple green projectile vomit.

Was pure stupid, as so much is in this series. I realize it was from a novel, but there's a reason why things get gutted from novels, especially for a limited series.

I can't see how the show is going to end/tie everything up in one episode. Either it should have extended a few more episodes, or it needed fewer main characters. But there's a murder to solve, and three (at least) moms-on-the-edge to resolve. Oh, and men have problems too in this show. If it isn't rushed and pat

Wondering how much of a reliable narrator Jane is to her own narrative? I think of "The Affair" and wish for an alternate POV. Her panic attacks are flashbacks, or tormented worst-case scenarios? Her son with the knife, footprints in the sand that she chases, etc. Jane's pretty messed up, perhaps too much for a

Elijah was pure awesome. Funny and, I didn't know he could sing so beautifully. For the showcase I forgive the Disney-esque leap from thinking about maybe perhaps acting again to getting a Broadway lead in a musical from an effin' cattle call! But - Girls. Same for Marnie's 2-minute epiphany and life change.

Perhaps the entire point of the show is neatly encapsulated in Noah's speeches to Whitney - the first being at the bank of the Seine when he realized the epiphany about how he's imprinted a "type" onto his daughter, and the second as he tells her the "bedtime story" of the history of parenting, and how it leads, we
