Nope, she was trying to hold it in just as much on the West Coast version as she was the first time around. I thought it was cute and very charming—of the entire room, she's the one poor soul who simply couldn't keep it together.

Yeah, but the hilarity of tonight's spoof of it was how outlandish and extreme Baldwin's threats were.

Ahh. I'm sorry! If it makes you feel better, you didn't miss anything substantial. A line about Paul being the man in the relationship…the intro to Baldwin's skit…and then carrying on from where we had left off the first time around.

I'll admit, I watch The Office because I *know* it's going to be terrible, and, to me, the series has become a complete train wreck which I watch with utterly sordid fascination.

I brought this up in one of my comments. To be honest…you should have thought to watch the West Coast version at 11:30EST. We got the full NBC feed by then, and so were able to see what the fucktards at City cut out. :)

As bonkers as '30 Rock' is, I'd say the live show is, somehow, three times as bonkers as normal. I, too, would suggest you check out different episodes, because as hilarious as I thought tonight's ep was, I think it might be a tough one for a first-time viewer with which to get into the series.

I forgot to bring that up, but yeah, the impromptu kiss was hilarious. Too bad the cameras cut out during the West Coast version, but I suppose the spontaneity of it the first time around couldn't really be replicated fully…

@avclub-bfcf792df01544a6a78d747cb6278af3:disqus He was a test tube adult in the anti-cigarette ad, but a "gay doctor" in the pro-cigarette, ad. But, good memory, because you are, indeed, correct!

I just want to say, I love watching both the East & West Coast episodes to catch the variety of differences between the two (and, as a suggestion, perhaps AVC should note all of the differences at the end of the review—just a thought), such as:

Haven't watched this episode yet (even though it aired here in Canada two days ago…I also won't read the review until I've watched it), but I *really* hope Andy is relegated to as minimal a role as possible. His antics aren't funny, nor are they amusing; they're irritating, gathering eye-rolls from myself nearly as…

I'm four days late with this, but I just have to say…this show was *much* funnier than I had expected. Quite hilarious, in fact. I feel that because so much of the humour has this dark/nasty feel to it, the trailer I saw really wasn't able to properly reflect it by 'watering down' its content.

I feel a big part of it is the way Martin wrote the character, too. Dinklage is superb, absolutely, but he is fortunate to be in a role where the audience not only sympathizes with him, but simultaneously cheers him on, *even when he's on the bad guys' side*. His allegiances are never quite clear; though he may be…

My apologies, friends. I take spoilers very, *very* seriously, and would never want to jeopardize the enjoyment for viewers, ever. That said, I can edit my post to leave out any vague references to future events, even if I feel I have been very careful to not spoil a thing. Thank you for the concern.

I am so happy they kept Melisandre's shadow baby scene in tonight's episode. I wasn't sure if that would stay in.

@avclub-734ffb84cfa214922893511fae356b45:disqus "A ridiculous situation utilized for comedic purposes."

A+? Did I just enter a fucking bizarro world?

Yes, that is exactly what I was referring to. Thank you.

Thanks for looking out for us, Guiseppe!

The actress for Brienne, like for EVERY character on this show, is perfect for the role. The moment she took off her helmet gave me such an uncanny Joan of Arc moment…No doubt, that was the key inspiration for this character, both in the book and for how it's visualized in the show…
