I love the advertising scenes, especially pitches and casting sessions, but I also like the excitement of seeing these characters go elsewhere. I want them to DO things, like Peggy and Pete really launch new careers, Joan find a new job or create a way to get back in at S-C without losing face (like join the TV dept

It's always stuck out for me that Don has NEVER told Betty he loves her (if I'm not mistaken). He just can't say the words. This could just be the tough upbringing by unemotional people and the era which makes it incredibly hard for him to emote like that, or that he truly does not love her. But when he told Anna

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT?!!!!
This show develops character…and then drops it like a hot potato because it's a sitcom that makes you laugh and no one gives a shit, nor is supposed to give a shit, about character development.

How do you find the Sons of Anarchy Motorcyle Club?
Oh, that's right, their clubhouse has a HUGE SIGN on it that says Sons of Anarchy…they're all wearing leather vests with Sons of Anarchy patches on the back AND their club names and rank on the front. What's next, a choreographed "roll call" routine?

He should know there's WAY more than 100 Americans who love his films…
…and the ones who love Dogville and Manderlay and claim it's a dead-on condemnation of America…are massive douches. (and many of them are on this site) Not as big of sham douches as Lars Von Trier, who's just another artist who knows he must

Keri Kenney in The State…hottttt! I don't watch Reno 911 so don't really know how she's held up, plus seeing her as a lesbian doesn't help, but yeah, The State years, niiiiice.

In the wake of Tina Fey's Sarah Palin boosting the ratings, looks like they're going exclusively with political cold openings. Which is a horrible choice and they're risking losing the young demo that they covet. And most of these sketches suck ass, so let's hope they get over it.

Is Seth Myers a Harvard guy, btw? Because he pretty much sucks ass as a head writer, as evidenced by his Weekend Update and the show's reliance on bathroom humor. Although to be fair the low-brow poop, masturbation and gay jokes started under Tina Fey's regime, which always perplexed me. Count how many of the fake

Still with the Harvard Lampoon? Ugh. There's so much great comedy being done on TV and in those three theaters and anyone who gets into Harvard and then aspires to be a comedy writer can go fuck themselves.

Okay, Nasim Pedrad is Iranian, my bad. And Darrell Hammond is listed as currently in the cast for his 15th season! Wasn't he supposed to be leaving last year? Will Ferrell even singled him out during his curtain call for the season finale. And UCB is now the farm league for SNL, not Second City or the Groundlings.

Oh, and can anyone tell the difference between Jenny Slate and the other new girl with the Indian name?
Which one played Admenadejad's wife last week on Weekend Update? Very funny. I hate to say it, but they both have big noses so it's a tough distinction; but they're both hot so it's still a win.

The celebrity guest cameos are even getting tired…
They're happening EVERY week now and the bench is getting thin so they're going to unfunny kid movie stars like The Rock. And gee, did he just coincidentally swing by studio 8H because he has a new movie coming out? Thus, the cameos are becoming pr stunts more than

EDITORS: IT'S EPISODE 5, NOT 6
FYI. And FWIW, I'll have the gabagool. TMI? F.U.

Who are the people who still get queasy from hand-held camera work? I watched Cloverfield in the front row and was fine. I manage to watch The Office each week and not throw up. If you don't like it Oldie Oldenburgs, then try to find the power button on your remote — we'll wait while you get your glasses — THERE WE

DREAMING AND WANTING?
This episode was about the abuse of power. Those who were willing to do it (pretty much everyone but Harry) and those who weren't (Harry runs from an opportunity to throw his weight around and harm another employee).

Does anyone think the Roger oversight on the flow chart was intentional?
If so, Guy doesn't know him from Adam, and they're not really competitors as Guy is CEO and Roger's a partner and not interested in that job, so…was it trickle-down from Lane Pryce…Powell…or that other m-fer who looks like Michael York…Gold, was

Fyi there's like 12 "Lois from Mad Men is super hot" sites with all the screencaps from the many nude scenes she did before this show.

REMEMBER HOW LAST WEEK…
…Lois got her scarf caught in the copy machine? (or was that another secretary?)

Powell and Lowe telling Lane he's going to Bombay.
Miserable fucking cunts.

I knew SOMETHING was coming…
…but I couldn't quite put my toe on it.
