Jane is adorable. She looked so proud of herself after spelling "anesthesia." Adorable!

Quinn says "fuck" an awful lot, doesn't he? I like that in a man.

Absolutely 100% no. If we never saw him again, that would be totally fine with me.

Nah, it should have obviously been Daniel Day-Lewis. His preparation for the role would have included several days of wandering around a field rigged with real landmines.

…I kind of love Tana and Janet?

Brad singing gets me every time. Between the look on Paris's face, Rory's "Oh, Brad," and Madeline's "Come on, Brad, go out a winner," it's everyone's finest moment. Except Brad's, of course.

That's exactly what I find odd about her speech: it means virtually nothing to the rest of the graduating class. It sounds more like an Oscar acceptance speech than one that a valedictorian would give. Every time I rewatch this episode, I wait for the orchestra to start playing her off after thirty seconds.

Most unrealistic part of the episode: a bottle of water from a gas station/convenience store only costing 95 cents.

I just need Gene Hackman to do a two-minute cameo is some decent movie so his last credited appearance isn't Welcome to Mooseport. Plenty of directors would crawl over broken glass for the opportunity. Hell, they might be willing to haul the entire crew out to his house and just shoot the scene in his living room.…

He said that homosexual prostitutes were three deviations away from "normal" sex (by which I think he means sex between straight people who have relatively few sexual partners). I get that the homosexuality is one deviation, and the prostitution is another, but I'm not sure what the third one is.

You mean Libby, right? Betty is the prostitute who was told that she won't be able to get pregnant.

Libby has excellent taste in movies.

I enjoy seeing Tom Mison and Nicole Beharie stand next to each other. Who doesn't love a really noticeable height difference between actors? I wonder if she has to stand on a box sometimes.

I feel the same way. The credit sequence is childish and wink-wink-nudge-nudge in a way that is, so far, tonally at odds with the show itself. I was disappointed that they went there.

I thought you were going to make a joke about Mark Strong's head.

And hey, Showtime is developing a show with that exact premise as we speak. With Dominic West, no less. Set your DVR!

Aneurysms seems like the most terrifying thing imaginable to me. With cancer or even most heart attacks or strokes, at least you get some warning, and there might be a chance to save you. But if I understand correctly, with a ruptured aneurysm, you can basically just be walking down the street and then drop stone-cold…

No.

Does anyone else think this show is really cheap-looking? It's really overlit and just generally lacking in visual flair, like a low-rent A&E or TNT show. In most cases, the pilot is the most expensive and best-looking episode of a show, so that really doesn't bode well for the future.
