The showrunner for Daredevil obviously has never attended J-school.

When Mad Men used Tomorrow Never Knows a few years back, they had to fork over $250K for its inclusion. Can't imagine it would have been different here.

For the longest time, I used to get Gabriel Bryne, Adrian Quinn and (80s) Jonathan Banks mixed up with each other. I'm not sure why.

My favorite detail from this film was when the East Germans are torturing Otto with a copy of the 'Polka Dot Bikini' song, played on repeat at the wrong speed

I love that Eskimo Brothers line by Lincoln; I don't think anyone other than Hannibal Buress can deliver that line.

Oh God, Kiefer, please don't make me defend you here! I can't watch! I can't!

It's funny, as Cam and Pam were wrestling around the living room, I kept thinking that we're roughly at this point in the show's run where the characters are barely recognizable from the early seasons.

"Given the finality with which previous seasons have ended, it’s almost as if Willimon is pulling an Underwood-esque power play on his successors. 'Here’s a bunch of cliffhangers for you. Good luck with them.'"

Let's get Will on this! He'll interview anybody!

Tio Salamanca is so frozen in my mind as a character from Breaking Bad that I forget Mark Margolis is playing him. His scene with Mike at the diner was fantastic, with the threat of violence inferred but not said. I'm looking forward to his presence on BCS going forward basically because he gets to play another

Wasn't there a line that said he had a stroke at some point prior Breaking Bad? I always assumed that's what afflicted him.

FX has a monopoly on shows with great soundtracks, Fargo being the other one, especially in Season Two.

Kim and tapeworms are kindred spirits.

I wish there was more moments in the series like that last scene from Season 3. I was so young when 24 first aired, but Kiefer was the first actor where I began to take notice of acting as a craft. Even when the show didn't work, his performance always did. You could always sense with 24 when the plotting took over

This show's pretentious enough to think it's Mad Men, but it's really just Scandal with a larger budget.

Spoiler alert: Jed Bartlet comes to Frank Underwood in a dream and tells him to get better supporting characters.

That's I heard that!

I'm gonna go recreate that scene. Hold on, I'll be right back. Just a second.

I don't mind a lot of this abbreviated season. There's stretches that don't work, but the best compliment I can give this season is most of the episodes, with a little tinkering, could fit into any season of the original.

I could be wrong but I don't think the show believes a lot of the bullshit that O'Malley spouts.
