Yeah, the same thought occurred to me. Surely they can't just force him to agree to these new terms. The only thing I could think is that there's a sort of ever-present threat that they could blackmail him to agree to the terms by outing him as a deserter and an imposter and he didn't want it to come to that.

There have definitely been times in the past where she's seemed unnatural and self-conscious (in a way that takes you out of the show and makes it obvious she's ACTING, mostly in her earliest appearances), but I agree that she turned in an excellent performance in this episode.

Yeah, you'd think at this point in the show's timeline that even someone as out of touch as Bert would recognize that TV is a vitally important medium as far as advertising is concerned.

Ah, my mistake. It's not listed on IMDB anywhere so I thought the original poster may have mistaken him for someone else. Consider me egg-faced.

It's interesting how really signing that contract back in whatever season that happened may wind up being Don's salvation. It's pretty much the only thing preventing him from doing his usual figurative dine and dash at this point (which, fittingly, he didn't actually go through with the literal version of after…

Yeah, he's pretty indicative of what happens when a company reaches a certain size. Essentially, SC&P is no longer an upstart trying to flip the table of the establishment, they are the establishment.

I don't really think Bobby is that aware of Don's alcoholism, though - he's more or less just an absent from Bobby's life for the most part.

Ben Feldman (the actor who plays Ginsberg) is not on Silicon Valley.

Well, they also gave him an "except for client hospitality" clause, which seems like a pretty big loophole for him to potentially exploit.

I have a feeling that Hamm will get the Emmy in Mad Men's last season (or part two of the two-part split season or whatever you want to call it) in one of those "we probably should have given you one of these before but consider this a cumulative award for the whole series" type deals.

The complex part of that thing with Meagan was that it seemed like she wanted him to be mad at her though, it upset her that he was so fine with her doing a love scene, so he basically pretended to be mad at her about it, which is what she needed from him in that moment.

He is instead coming out with a legally distinct movie called "Crazy Underpants Beard."

"Undershorts" is funnier than both, however.

It's normal to get them randomly pre-puberty (usually not due to anything related to sexual attraction). Before I knew what they were I used to get them when I was really hungry or had to pee really bad.

They stamped it didn't they? Those damn Gideons.

Now the question is: does the "gas leak year" count in the tally of seasons?

Kristin Wiig will take her rightful place as the Ruth Buzzi of the 2010s.

Yeah, the special guests stuck to the wall effect was pretty embarrassingly executed. Luckily it was basically just a throwaway during the closing credits and didn't really have anything to do with anything.

Yeah, Muppets Take Manhattan is definitely the weakest of the three Henson-era films. Christmas Carol is still probably my favorite post-Henson one, but this one is now second.

I went in expecting to be turned off by the CGI after reading Erik's review, but it's actually not bad. Sure, there's nothing approaching puppeteering inventiveness of the "Couldn't We Ride" scene in Great Muppet Caper, but the CGI here seemed limited mostly to painting out puppeteers, the characters themselves still…
