Duluth by Trampled by Turtles. It perfectly captures the hushed, vaguely melancholy, gorgeous feeling of waking up and looking out at the snow from last night in northern Minnesota, and makes me ridiculously homesick. And then I visit and after a few days  start with the twitching and compulsive searching for flights…

I think you are right about Betty being less used to being a comforting figure, but it could also be the contrast with the ski trip scenes. Sally and Betty had a huge fight because Sally was being a bratty teenager (like all girls that age basically) and Betty couldn't deal with it. Then Sally gets flustered and runs…

I know this has been said a hundred times already, but I'm so upset and this board seems like one of the few places where people understand. So fuck you NBC. You are a bunch of sniveling cowards who lack the balls to cancel the show outright so kill it like this instead. You are truly the opposite of Batman.

The way Betty treats her kids is 100% horrible, but from what little we've heard about Betty's mom (calling her a prostitute when she became a model, resenting her for losing weight) I bet she is just doing exactly what she learned to do from her mom.

I re-watched some of last season last weekend and noticed some of the transformation starting then—the episode where Sally visits Don in his apartment and makes him pancakes with real rum for syrup. It's incredibly heartbreaking because she so clearly had absorbed how to make her father notice and love her from…

I've been kind of annoyed with Don all season for that very reason. He has all these little moments, like the "if I'd met Megan first I wouldn't have cheated and been a horrible horrible husband like I was to Betty" bit with Pete, which show he realizes he treated Betty atrociously and that she didn't deserve it, but…

Is it that clear that Don wants an independent woman? Don was not supportive of Betty working outside of the home—he was
unhappy with her decision to return to working, and not because he didn't respect the profession (it wasn't addressed directly, but he probably didn't), but because it took her away from him and the…

I loved the whole episode, but the two bits that tickled me most as a huge L&O fan (first childhood TV crush, Mike Logan) were the into and the first interview with Neil where he's shuffling papers around. They nailed every aspect perfectly, right down to the initial banter between janitors!

I think some of the tensions coming out in Don and Megan's marriage are also part of the Faye/Megan tension: the contrast I saw between them was less the domination questions and more the contrast in the episode with Sally at the office—Megan is the loving caregiver, Faye admits she doesn't understand kids. It has…

Yes it should! My nine year old self watched Homicide, Life on the Street and nightmares about snipers aside, it was an important growth experience. How else do nine year olds learn that hiding a razor blade in your mouth is a terrible terrible idea? Think of the life lessons Stringer Bell could have imparted.

Being abandoned for Hitler. The worst hurt of all.

I think this is what makes Betty so sad (two caveats that will make me very unpopular on this board, I love Betty, and think her character has been really ill-served over the last season and I hate Megan). Everything Betty has tried to get better has failed—often through no fault of her own, because she has been…

What about comparing Community to Futurama (original)? Wacky in-jokes, pop references, and enough soul to make you bawl your eyes out when Fry's dog dies or when Abed tells Shirley she humbles him. Or maybe I'm just a huge sap.
