Yep, while the fact that they HAVE alluded to some connection between Zhukov and Elizabeth in earlier episodes made it so that it worked MUCH better here than with Amador (which was almost painful - "Hey, you know the guy that I really haven't been close to in all the episodes this season? Surprise! He and I were best…

Yeah, while obviously Axl was an over-the-top jerk in the episode, Sue was rather oddly un-Sue-like in how she just went ahead and put the sticker on the drums anyways. How could she expect him NOT to get pissed at that?

I think the show has a chance for renewal. It's either this or Beauty and the Beast and Carrie Diaries can at least be paired with Hart of Dixie for a sole "non-horror/fantasy/superhero" night. I took the fact that they aired Hart of Dixie reruns on Monday at 9pm an indication that that is what they have in mind for…

I like the scene where Ms. Spiridakos said "We can't get emotional."

Clark, by the way, really seems like he would have fit in well on the show a few years back. He's been a good addition.

I love the camera that is waiting for Pam down the block when she is going to see Brian. Soooo…what, they magically realized who she was going to go see and raced ahead of her to get there in time to secretly set up cameras to capture her showing up? Or do they have a camera hidden outside of his place just in case…

It really is impressive to see the dramatic range Fischer is showing this season. Krasinski is barely holding his own in their interactions but she is still selling their drama pretty much all on her lonesome.

This is one of those weird things where my appreciation for good TV competes with my desire to see good actors getting paid. Kaitlyn Dever was excellent on Justified as Loretta and she is absolutely wasted on this show as Eve, but at the same time, she's such a fine young actress that I guess I'm happy that she's…

But instead, as it turns out, that was all meant by Dunham to be unironic (well, specifically the Adam/Hannah stuff, it seems like Dunham is somewhat hedging her irony bets with Charlie/Marnie, while heavily leaning towards "that's not meant as ironic either").

Oh, and it was fun to see Leland Orser. I like him a lot. It was also a bit of a weird ER reunion, as Orser and David Lyons were both on that show during its 14th and 15th seasons.

While obviously I was pleased to see Danny written off of the show (my goodness was he bad), I think I would have preferred to see him sent off on the proverbial bus rather than killed off. Charlie's already lost her dad and step-mother this season, the loss of her brother as well just seems like over kill.

While everything about Walt these last few episodes has been handled really well, I can't help but wonder if they'll manage to continue to be so good about it the more "out" he gets. What I don't want is for them to take the same approach to it as they would on, say, Glee or some other modern show (okay, I guess I…

"Mindy's friends are friends because none of them ever bothered to get new friends after they graduated college. "

Mindy's friends just don't make any sense at all. They have zero chemistry, they barely have personalities…it is just so annoying when they show up. Gwen and Alex were bad but when the show changed things up and more or less dropped Gwen and Alex, their replacement, Maggie, was ten times worse. Maggie is just an awful…

I thought they were airing episodes out of order, but the whole "she's back because she threatened to sue them" part of her previous appearance sure didn't look like it was dubbed in.

What struck me as odd was that while yes, the show in general was structured quite well, with payoffs to all of the characters coming organically at the end of the episode (with the particularly great bit between Carrie and Donna and the much-appreciated way that Walt shut the door on a reunion with Maggie), it also…

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Yes, it is hard. Which is why I think it is very realistic if she stops taking her meds. That's my issue here. It is realistic if Adam shows up and nothing gets better but it is not realistic if he shows up and everything gets better. I thought that the scene was a satirical look at the typical romantic comedy trope…

I feel bad for him, as well, but it is a pretty typical situation where she's  always been his ideal woman. So he can't see how terrible this relationship is going to be for them. You see that happen a lot. Unless, of course, that scene was meant by Dunham as an honest-to-goodness "yay, true love conquers all!" idea,…
