I never saw much of the original - so this link is EVERYTHING! Wow! Thank you!!

I am beginning to think that The Return the series title speaks of is Agent Cooper's and that his return won't be until the last 30 secs of the last episode.

I got how it was her response to her feeling like "nothing special" when compared to the other clones (see: the Alison episode), but unless it has some bearing on what happens next, the whole thing felt intrusive in this episode. Still love them all, tho!

Wow! Seriously fascinating thread! Thanks!!

I guess time will tell. I really did see it more as Howard calming Chuck down so that there's no more crazy vendetta against Jimmy BS. Chuck's shaky mental state and the firm's catering to him without full disclosure to their clients could turn into a huge PR nightmare for HMM. Plus, maybe it's just me, but since the…

If you remember from the 1st season, tho, Chuck is a senior partner with controlling interest in HMM. Remember how hard Jimmy fought Howard about Chuck being institutionalized? I can't quite recall the reasoning, but as long as Chuck's not declared incompetent, it's in HMM's best interest for Howard to continue…

Hmmm… I agree that underneath Howard is a decent guy (his distaste of holding back mailroom Jimmy comes to mind). But I wouldn't characterize him as Chuck's friend. Everything Howard does - including placate senior partner Chuck - is in the interest of the Firm. His tiny flinch when Kim forced him to mention his…

I agree, however, the obvious sadness that Jimmy felt while having to do this is what really convinced me that Chuck did this to himself. Jimmy has been nothing but supportive to Chuck's illness - mental or otherwise - even after finding out about the HHM betrayal. Now Jimmy was backed into a corner and exposing Chuck…

Having read and LOVED the book, I can tell you that this point is examined from the point of view of the teacher realizing she screwed up and it was the mistake of a first-time teacher. I think there was even a discussion between her and the principal reprimanding her, with the principal assuming it would blow over. I…

Spot on recap, Gwen! And special thanks from the bottom of my heart for the shout out to All About Eve. The reference made me smile while watching last night. One of my two all-time favorite films (along with The Philadelphia Story). My surprise about Feud are the number of people loving it despite never having seen…

I believe the term she used was "false front" based on Joan reading the column aloud.

Yes, "Tale of Tales" is amazing! Beautiful - but soooo gruesome and bloody! And, yet, I dvr'ed it because I missed the beginning. Wound up watching it all the way through and it totally fascinated me.

The only thing that would have made Renard's/Roiz's Russian dialog even sexier would have been to have him (again, please) take his shirt off. I know it's juvenile, but, damn! Middle-aged crushing hard on that man! LOL!
Oh, and my take on Monroe's dream was that it's usually hormones that make the mother-to-be have…

Suuuuper old school: "Dauber" from Coach and "Tom Cullen" from The Stand! His imdb.com goes back to 1984. He's one of the best character actor's around!!

Such a great episode! It felt like a big, wonderful gift to the fans from the cast and director. :)
My take on the Julievette/Nick/Adalind love triangle is that the solution will somehow involve Julievette (love that nickname, btw) sacrificing herself to whatever forces are trying to drag her to Hell. They've been…

Ack!! "Don Draper's brother!" Thank you - I could NOT for the life of me figure out where I knew that actor from! Classic.

Ugh. Duke should be reported to management for sexual harassment. And judging from last night's episode, it's not just Kate. Duke's character - like Toby's - is waaay over the top. Love Kate, but, seriously, your BF flies across the country to be with you, has serious health issues and an operation in a strange city…

This. Damned. Show. Man - it ripped my heart out sooo many times in such subtle and quiet ways. Interesting that you mention the lack of hugging - the first season the lack of physical affection almost drove me to distraction! (Janet even apologized profusely for her emotional reaction to Daniel in the parking deck…
