What in the world are they going to do with Finn?

I thought it made too much sense for some time now for Diane to move to Florrick Agos, so I'm glad we've hit that point. I know Lockhart Gardner was "her" firm, but it stopped being "her" firm the moment Will died. So I'm glad she's finally come to that realization.

The Cary/Kalinda relationship never particularly worked for me, as it seemed more like an attempt to give those two actors something juicy to do to keep them on the screen (sort of like all those other dramas that said, "Oh hey, we have these two cast members without a plot right now…uhm…I guess they can just start

Jacqueline Toboni is the rare occasion where all of the hype we hear about an actor/actress before they debut has completely panned out. She's just as good as they claimed she was.

I think Nick losing his powers is a clever plotline. However, it's only a clever plotline if they resolve it fairly soon next season. If we get another "Juliet's amnesia" marathon plotline next year I don't know if I can deal with it.

He doesn't just have no chemistry with Liu, he has, like, NEGATIVE chemistry with her. It's like they're adopted siblings when they kiss.

One of the most interesting things about the show was when Jonah Ray blew off an appearance on the show and it became a whole thing on the Nerdist podcast.

Yeah, it works based on its guests, however I think that the show has a great eye for guests (or perhaps Hardwick and Lennon just have a really good relationship with a lot of great comedians) so it works really well more often than not. It's also one of the most diverse shows on late night TV, which is weird as you

Super minor point that really doesn't take away from my enjoyment of the episode as a whole, but damn, Michael Rowe is just way too short. Deadshot looks so tiny compared to everyone else - it really hurts his coolness factor.

I think Lance should be both Chief of Police AND Mayor but continue to be referred to as "Detective Lance."

Today he would go back to work heavily medicated. The problem, of course, is the relapse issue you mention. People with schizophrenia are often very much like Ginsberg, in that they are commonly very creative people. So when they are suddenly heavily medicated, their creativity suffers and they convince themselves

I believe they DID establish that she had a kid in the past when she needed some time off because of her kid and Cooper shot her down. But otherwise, obviously yes, I completely concur with you. Just an awful decision.

For the most part, the finale was just "whatever," except for killing off Parminder Nagra's character. First off, the whole idea that you can't end a season without killing off one of your cast members is a trope that has long since outlived its usefulness, but secondly, the idea that the person most "expendable" is

Yeah, as Thomas notes (and what I think Weiner was going for) is that by 1969 Dylan was pretty much just an accepted piece of American culture, liked by a wide variety of people to the point where he would be a "safe" reference for a guy like Lou to make while just five years earlier that certainly would not be the

The quotes were for that very reason, as you are correct, he never stopped being cool.

I also loved her disgust for Harry's date.

They were around since the 1950s but it was not until the 1970s that they even SORT of began to be used the way that they're used today (and then as time went by they became more and more accepted). So in 1969 someone in Ginsberg's shoes would be pretty much fucked.

I loved how the party was essentially the mirror image of the "Zou Bisou Bisou" party, as there Megan was the outcast performing for Don at his party and now it is her party and he is the outcast and yet she's still performing for him. And, of course, Don didn't want to be at EITHER party.

Oh yeah, this was definitely set up and was almost certainly always going to be the end game for Ginsberg. I think it might have been better served with at least one more reference to it before the total break but sure, Weiner DID set the plot up.

TODAY, he likely could return but yeah, in 1969, he has got to be done.
