It's definitely both; I hate pretty much all of the male characters on the show (with a couple of exceptions), but I enjoy the actors' performances. This is partly because none of the other actors have made such a continual aggressive effort to be an annoying asshole in real life, and I can't exactly say that about…

Four-year-old Suzanne, too

I also felt bad for Nicky who was so sad when Morello broke up with her… for Christopher

I kind of took it as her trying to break some news she felt Morello might learn anyway which she knew would upset her. Plus, remember that there are details she doesn't give her that Morello gets mad and keeps demanding to know like the date of the wedding.

I've also seen the first seven, and at one point I literally yelled at my tv "I don't care about either of you!" during a Larry/Polly scene

Yes! When she first showed up I was like "fuck, who is this, I know her" and then looked her up and went "oh fuck, Shambala Green!" She's incredible. She has a LOT of competition for the title but I think she might be giving the best performance on the show (I've seen the first seven episodes of this season so far,…

And Molly's "we're doing good" is very similar to something Margie says to Norm although the subtext is different—in the movie, Margie is reminding herself that despite all the evil she's seen, there's still good in the world, especially in her little bubble, whereas when Molly says that to Gus she's trying to make…

Ugh, somehow I missed her saying that. I was already grossed out enough by him—he knows she's only having sex with him because she thinks it'll help her get insurance money which he knows definitely isn't happening, and he only wants to have sex with her because of what she symbolizes to him, a way of taking/defacing…

They do actually but she has a very minor role—a woman (tbh I don't remember if she's given a name) who comes to work on the hotline at the GMHC after a friend of hers dies.

Right, but regardless of her reasons for marrying him, pretty much anyone's gotta look good in comparison

Although, you saw her husband

It wasn't a direct reference, but it seemed like a clear nod to A Serious Man to me

It reminded me a lot of the early episode where Don has Betty prepare an elaborate dinner for Heineken without letting her in on the fact that it was part of some bet he had going with the guy from the account. It's the same kind of resentment, that her husband didn't consider her smart or important enough to let her…

And just when he'd gotten it in the door!

Also, Ginsberg behaves in a way that on tv is often played as "what a wacky guy!" but if you took really any supporting character like that and put them in the real world, the reaction from others would usually be, "oh, this person is mentally ill." Mad Men has sort of kept us guessing because his behavior's always…

Yeah I mean literally since he was introduced on the show, people have been speculating about whether Ginsberg's behavior was indicative of some kind of mental illness (and he's around the age when schizophrenia tends to appear). I don't understand at all how anyone is surprised by this, I mean the scene itself was…

I guess Bones is set in the alternate reality where Cricket didn't abandon the priesthood

I got to see an early showing of They Came Together the other night, and Meloni has a hilarious supporting role in that (unsurprising since it's directed by David Wain who made Wet Hot)

Apparently not obligatory enough, it's pretty fucking weird to see the complete lack of acknowledgement (outside of making jokes about it, of course) that uh, he raped a child?

The closed captioning said "melancholy orchestration" during the opening music, though I don't know if anyone involved in the show had any say in that
