Can someone make a tumblr for the wigs of The Americans? Or a shrine in each major metropolitan area. Because they are amazing.

Exactly. The loudest voices get the most press. There is no certainty in any of this (so let's 95% because people hate certainty) but I feel very comfortable in saying that Tina Fey was more intertwined in her show than Harmon was in his.Wouldn't season 4 Community be wildly different otherwise? Isn't the point of the…

Yeah, I don't get the Top Chef fascination with cooking for 100 people. Obviously, the chefs being judged will need a lot of help from their sous chefs so part of the verdict is out of their hands (pig ears) and they're often judged on planning instead of personal execution. I just want some happy medium number of…

Season 10 general comments:
- I don't like the winner of LCK coming back into the competition so late. I would prefer they come back at 5 chefs instead of 3. Brooke had to do a lot more cooking to get to the finale. Kristen won a few quickfires. (This does not mean I'm upset Brooke lost. I was going to be happy either…

Brooke was a victim of trying to do too much. Kristen went very simple and better control over how the specific ingredients worked together.

She only said she hadn't cooked for more than 10 people in the last 2 years.

This article sums up my exact feelings and I'm glad someone finally wrote it. There isn't THAT big of a difference between this season and the last one. In some respects, I've liked parts more than last year. It's all a matter of opinion but nothing "feels off" to me. It's just an aging show. Regardless of who is…

Girls: Where "storylines of wildly variable quality" equates to B- to A swings over the course of a season.  So a B+ is basically average, just like Jay S. says.

NEVER run out of Woodford. I keep mine in a carafe (groomsmen gift) and replace it when it gets two inches from the bottom. You never know when you'll need 2 inches of Woodford inside you.

Love the Grape. One of my favorite brunch locations and a top burger in Dallas (it made the cover of D Magazine a while back.)

How believable was it that Gregory would become a KGB recruit in less than a year of knowing Elizabeth? Sympathetic to the cause? Sure. Betraying country? That's a big leap, right? Besides, in the late 60s, isn't there some evidence of the times changing a little bit? It seems a little bit defeatist for a black man…

I think that in order to be a sociopath, you have to be much more self-aware and intentional. She, as you say, is incredibly clueless about what's going on but I still don't see her as a good person unless we are really lowering the bar for good. She's completely selfish with strangers and with her friends. She has no…

Unfortunately, the fake epiphany ruined the episode for me. It felt contrived and only as a means to end the self-contained episode, kind of like how an SNL skit will stumble with the ending and just say, screw it, it's over, let's go to commercial. It could have been a watershed moment for the series. Instead it was…

Comparing Hannah to Draper and White is probably a bridge too far. Yes, they are all characters deliberately written to be unlikable but Don and Walter have been on journeys full of development and discovery. Hannah is just Hannah. She hasn't changed at all. This is supposed to be the season of "what happens when…

I think that if you didn't LOVE LOVE the "I want to be happy speech" there is no way you could have loved the episode. That was THE moment of this entire dalliance and it all hinges on that monologue. I thought it was terrible and thus the episode went from an A- to a C- for me. Character development shouldn't come…

I think they wanted us to believe Christina was an alien but as you point out, that just can't be true anymore. I'm still holding out for the chief of staff.

Yes, it will both be obvious and then spelled out for us. That's how the Event rolls.

The titular Event
is in the finale.

Walternate
In the 2026 timeline, how did Walternate escape his universe's demise? I must have missed something.

That's the correct analogy with the compass. The machine just exists looping through time without a beginning.
