It doesn't really make sense, per se (or at least it isn't particularly fair of me) but I really do think that my feelings about the episode would be tempered by whether the show is returning or not. I think it is, so I was fine with the episode. If I thought that this was the finale, I'd probably be disappointed.

I was just impressed that it seemed like Chris Elliot actually tried to play a character other than simply Chris Elliot.

Also, for what it is worth, the end of Mad Men's first season already ended with an anachronistic song ("Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"), so "Shake That Ass Bitch" could have totally worked!

This episode just makes me feel a bit sad at how Matthew Weiner completely blew the ending of Mad Men's first season. When Don arrived at his home to find his family not there, he should have turned to the camera and said, "I don't give a fuck" and begun dancing to "Shake that ass, bitch and let me see whatcha got"

True. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally fine with Jenna being pissed at her (she seems like a perfect example of a person who thinks that rules don't apply to her, but if you use her own tactics on her, she'll freak out) but I don't see why we should feel any actual sympathy to Jenna over Kalinda's behavior here.

Scott Grimes played their son! It really was a cute movie.

Probably the biggest roadblock for Lohan is that her lifestyle has left her basically broke, so she likely feels that she cannot afford to truly treat her problems because she needs to quickly find something to pay her bills and what really is there for her to do besides be professional train wreck? Hence her Oprah

I think he's worse than just white noise, but I do think that he is, in general, a funny guy. His standup is good and I've liked a number of his sketches over the years. He is just terrible as an anchor.

Bennett is tailor made for Weekend Update. Them passing him over for Jost was just a terrible decision, and one I think likely has to do with the fact that the last two head writers also had the gig so it has become a sort of tradition.

"I feel like Colin is trying really hard to be an anchor in the style of Norm (he even does the same kind of crooked smile), but he's failing miserably. I almost feel kind of bad for him."

I think you're absolutely correct and that will be the reveal, that the miscarriage broke their marriage up.

Also, why DOESN'T Diane just jump ship and join Alicia's firm as a partner? Wouldn't that be a lot easier than merging the two firms?

It was kind of weird for me to see Damian set up for so long as this big bad and Kalinda ends up taking him down no problem at all (she loses Jenna, but come on, it wasn't like that relationship was going anywhere - I disagree, though, about feeling any sympathy for Jenna - she literally was spying on Kalinda the

True, if there's one thing that The Good Wife has established is that if you're married then you're off limits as a love interest.

While I wonder if this is just unfair hindsight on my part, but shouldn't Peggy, someone who knows Don's work as well as anyone, be able to figure out that if Freddy Rumsen suddenly starts pitching exactly in Don's voice two months after Don gets put out to pasture that perhaps Freddy is working as a front for Don? It

Stan's pants were just too too tight. Accurate for the era, but too too tight!

Bingo again!

I know it is a ridiculously romantic idea and therefore obviously will never happen, but dammit, I want to ship Peggy and Stan still!

I don't think it turned him into a dick. He seemed like the same old Ken, just the same old Ken with a TON of stress on him. That I think explains his behavior. Notice how he was willing to give Joan an opportunity that dickish guys likely wouldn't have. He's still Ken, he's just Ken under a pile of stress.

Bingo.
