maybe so but that would cast a lot of doubt. and outside of raylan they all seemed all too easily to take the kids word at face value when it was much more likely he was covering for his brother. i would have liked a little more skepticism from the assembled professionals. such are the needs of storytelling i suppose.

yeah but in kendalls testimony he states that he and art saw each other and (if im not mistaken) that art shot at him first. but then why would art ask alison if she saw anything implying that he did not see the shooter as we didnt? i think if she was questioned as to whether it went down as kendall stated that her…

wont amy smart's characters testimony of the shooting completely contradict kendalls or is that just another thing they will just gloss over?

if only there were some word or phrase to denote that information about upcoming plot points were about to be revealed. hmmm….

yeah, i cant believe she would go along with that story to protect daryl at this point though i have a hard time believing that she would believe kendalls story as well. i guess we are supposed to believe that she is too frazzled at the moment to be the take charge person theyve made her out to be all season.

wait, was there a second vase? ooh, you meant the bookends.

it wasnt as blatant an effort as when she is wounded and is attempting to regain the upper hand. she was legitimately excited about her acceptance to iowa but as usual she has no situational awareness. he is about to go onstage for the first time. the last thing he needs is something to make him lose focus and by this…

yeah, but wasnt it her annoying self-centeredness that got her to that moment? if she had been self aware enough not to make the night about herself then she would be out celebrating his triumph rather than gleefully imagining her future life as a graduate student.

so many of the plots seem shoehorned though. didnt we just get introduced to that louise lasser (sp?) character last episode? how are we really supposed to care one way or the other about her fate or how it relates to jessa?

i actually think that is not an entirely uncommon dream. i still have them and ive been out of school quite a bit longer than 5 years.

yeah, i forgot. what rationale did he give her to do that?

what is the timeline for the americans at this point?

just some backround though i havent googled him yet, but i heard on this weeks slate culture gabfest that weisberg was previously in the cia though no mention of in what capacity. also, he is the brother of jacob weisberg, editor in chief at slate.

i saw him at a book reading in nyc at about the same time. gray pants, off brand too tight gray polo shirt and doo rag. think it was gray but i cant quite recall.

a supposedly fun thing i will never do?

c'mon, at forty she's just barely past her prime.

well sure for the purposes of the cover but it has to be heartbreaking for someone with a heart as elizabeth is slowly coming to realize that their children will never really know them nor share their beliefs, or its very unlikely at the very least.

its true that she didnt not have the heart to throw that sort of confusion into the boy's life but i got the sense that todd did that by burning the letter it was a tacit understanding that her values are not her children's values and probably never will be, and by protecting them from her truth (or in this case the…

woody allen and mia farrow.

also, jessa is a bitch, marnie is disappointed and shoshanna talks really fast.
