Ben Woolf was a friend. He was a sweet guy, and the world's a little less weird and awesome without him.

I had been expecting F's for this episode. The ending couldn't be lazier.

The correct ending was that Dandy Mott would have murdered Elsa Mars, then gone on to become a huge star AS Elsa Mars in that Friday Night Spot, once he made a skin suit out of her. That was the appropriate ending to the season.

Nah, do yourself a favor.

It's dumb that Archer and Treme didn't end up on these lists, but I'm pretty sure Treme stopped shooting two years ago. They still have the best soundtrack of anything I ever heard. Ah, shit, I pay my bills from AHS. Welcome to disappointment.

I feel like i'm very close To it all, and thought this one was of the better scripts. It had a lot of crazy Shit, and gave Dandy a lot of good screen time. There's a lot of good possibilities, but the trick is to NOT get lost in the confusion, and create GOOD and solid thematic arcs as we keep going.

If there's one lesson about filmmaking that I've learned from this show, it's never fucking make a movie with a woman with two heads. Jesus Christ.

I think this is Katie Rife's first truly great piece.

Next week is my favorite script of the season thus far. The finale is really good too, though, we'll see if it tops it.

Baby, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

We did the exact same "Bad Henchman" sketch on Important Things with Demetri Martin back in '09. Boo. Even the punchline was the same. Shame.

Gladys is played by one of of my favorite extras in New Orleans, Bubbles Arrigo. My first two years down here, she worked regularly, especially on Treme. She's one of the kindest souls, and apropo of New Orleans, she's funny and weird. Had some health concerns this past winter, but I hope this role's turned up some…

Guys, keep moving on. It's cool that Chris Pratt's in this, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. They're selling toys. That's just me, though.

New character. Plays into Angela's storyline. May not happen (we've shot his scenes, it's just I think he may have gotten written out). We'll see.

Yeah, Jyoti had to learn all her lines phonetically. She speaks an adorable mile a minute in Hindi, but it definitely limits her dialogue.

There's nothing to marvel at. Everybody's in such a tailspin to get this damn thing done, it's really just interesting to me that for the longest time I feel like the show was travelling along the trajectory of "cautious optimism, cautious optimism… everything's kinda working… sorta," to where it is now (mid episode…

For the record, I've read 11 1/2 scripts of 13. I have no fuckin' clue how it's gonna end. They could stick the landing, still.

I'm in love with Grace Gummer. Only a little embarrassed to say this.

Yes, but I'm saying that the word around set is that "stolen" and "a few pages" might not be the full story. Nobody's mentioned it today, but everybody on the crew sees it as forehead slapping stupidity. We're shooting episode 11 right now. Everybody's sick, everybody's tired, and mostly folks just want to wrap it…

Compared to Breaking Bad, we're actually pretty relaxed. On set, every day they issue sides, which are copies of all the pages to be shot that day. It's standard for all sets to have these (as an assistant director, I usually have to carry an extra four or five sets to give out as folks lose theirs throughout the…
