I was confused at first too. But then I realized that there was an unspoken message. The implicit assumption under "It's not appropriate for you to talk to me because I'm not your counselor anymore" is "It would not be appropriate for you to talk to me outside of our professional relationship, because that's the

It was a bit weird to see Diane in probate court, but not as weird as everyone at F&A being okay with the firm's top two lawyers, plus a promising newcomer, drop everything to attend to a case that would accomplish nothing except making one of their name parents even richer than she already is. A scene where she

"Baby, It's Cold Outside" first appeared in a 1949 movie in which it was performed twice, the second time gender-swapped. So not only is it a super-old idea, it's something that was literally done within an hour of when the song was introduced, by the same creative team.

If she had, she would have made a substantial appearance on one NBC show!

Congratulations!

It's nice to see I'm not the only one affected by that list. I still have the issue with the later updated one in my apartment; I agree that the old list is better. But back when the first one came out, my family didn't even get TV Guide. I heard about the list on Nick at Nite and printed it out after finding it

So when Will mentioned that if they tried to hire someone by committee, they would end up with one of David Lee's relatives, that reminded me … wasn't one of his relatives, who used to work for "LG," a dynamite litigator? (And also a very hot blonde.) It would be nice to hear an update on her, even if it's just that

As his later life showed, James Meredith was also a fairly oblivious individual.

Well, you are eamon to please.

To be fair, the '70s version was a cover of Rachmaninoff's 2nd.

It would have been hilarious if the Co-op board sketch had ended with the couple agreeing to stay in the building, in spite of everything, because they couldn't get any other housing in Manhattan within their price range. And by "hilarious" I mean "true to life."

Wasn't Sadie's mother Hanna's awful stepmother from PLL? Maybe Sadie got off easy—she never has to deal with Kate.

… except it's not. That's the one directed by Michael Apted.

David Milch? Is that you?

In the episode where Holmes deals with Watson's family, there's an extended quote that's an extremely close paraphrase of "The Red-Headed League."

The story that reveals that Mycroft works for British intelligence ("The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans") also opens with a body that is difficult to trace because it fell on top of a moving vehicle.

This seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I thought that "15 Million Merits" was one of the greatest TV episodes I've ever seen (and I watch a LOT of TV). I thought it was far from sentimental, and the twist at the end was profound and completely unexpected.

I gotta disagree. There is no rational reason for her to turn against her husband. If she turns against him anyway, it would have to be a dynamic like the woman in the "Bully" episode of Louie: "I know there's no rational reason to lower my opinion of you, but I can't help it. Maybe that makes me a bad person, but

They were on top.

That's true—how else do the feet go in?
