Actually, all the mobsters do this lisping-thing with Ts.

Love his little lisp.

Writing from THE FUUUUUTURE: damn, MadMen and Breaking Bad probably blew you away, as they did the rest of us sometime after you wrote your comment. Also: I hope you got to watch Deadwood, way up there with BSG, SFU, The Wire, Sopranos . . . but maybe the smartest of all of them.

Wonder why the whole of AVC seems to think Janice is not beautiful. The character is off-putting in the extreme, yes, but Aida Turturro is, without a doubt, a gorgeous woman.

I wonder if I'm the only one here (can't be) who got the Joni Mitchell reference in TDVW's review: "It’s coming on Columbus Day; they’re putting on parades." Nice job.

I think, aside from the "gay thing," it does a poignant job of contrasting the calm sweetness of life in this New Hampshire town, and the life of the mobsters in North Jersey. It's legitimately jarring. One scene has Vito walking —well, waddling, bless him—past cheerful storefronts and happy passers-by, immediately…

I don't know why, but I find sleepy people, or people who have just awakened, cute and hilarious.

How is she a "really bad person?" Due to her plausible deniability w/r/t her father's mobster identity? Otherwise, I disagree . . . she seems to want good things for others, which is a hallmark (I think) of a good person.

Yeah, but Meadow and Finn's argument was hilarious and believable: "There was no abundant intentionality in me getting out the suitcase!"

Take it from me, anyone brought up Roman Catholic knows about Notre Dame.

She was always kind of the nastiest GG, and not because of her sexual exploits, which I commend.

I remember thinking the same thing! Like: damn, what is that, four or five shots of vodka?

I thought the same thing!

Yes (writing from the fuuuuuutuuuure!), I agree w/r/t the actors' beautiful work with these characters. I'd add, also, that Aida Turturro is devastatingly beautiful, when her face relaxes and isn't so "embodied" by the persona of Janice. Lovely woman, lovely actor, HEINOUS and unrelentingly-unpleasant character.

A-damn-men

Ah, no, we haven't. Good to know. Pity it got canceled, then. We figured it had pulled a Battlestar Galactica and just did a complete table-flip. We've been hooting at the undergrad philosophizin' and moody IMPORTANCE of everything. Sometimes we yell things at the screen like, "fart softly! Do the chicken dance! Benny…

"Hannibal the Mannibal with the Plannibal" opening the comments thread had us whooping and laughing hysterically, though, so major fist bump to Heisenberg; sorry about your meth business and dying and all! We love you, Heisenberg

So glad we're watching this streaming, a year after y'all wrote all of this (very funny at times, btw, good work, folks,) and can't imagine commercials. I had no idea this was a network show; couldn't even possibly believe those obvious breaks for commercials were . . . breaks for commercials, that weren't there. I…

The first sentence in your comment is both hilarious and endearing. What I'm trying to say is, I . . . I . . . love you.

But see, it "works" because the dude says in the end, "okay, all that was just made up story to hold your attention so I could infect you with this digitally-transmitted disease."
