Thats my lasting hope too.

Plus the fact that last week's episode was preempted in the second largest TV market due to earthquake coverage, that number would have been even higher.

I predict a snubbing given that - in general - Emmy attention does depend on how well/ how many people know the series. This series is on a Friday night, demands attention while watching and is the most gruesome show on network TV. It has everything working against it. But, to see a nomination would be absolutely…

I DEFINITELY laughed harder and longer at 'Dexter'.

Holla!!

I think House of Lies is still spectacularly awful. I think it rivals 'Ray Donovan' for an incoherent narrative married with monotonous characters.

I just took it as a nod of the cap to movies like The Wizard of Oz where it ends with every 'real life' character there who had a counterpart in the 'fantasy world being around the bed and happy to have the protagonist back.

I totally agree. But Chase was brought to mind as there was a note when GI Jeff was looking at some table full of stuff (I don't recall when, I'll have to look again) and there was a welcoming note signed 'Pierce'. It wasn't referred to in the dialogue, but it did catch my eye.

"Is it me or did Ian not seem terribly manic at the Alibi Room? Is the worst of it over?" In my experience the untreated manic episodes are followed by the untreated depressive episodes. Fun times.

I would be VERY interested in your co-worker's husband's opinion about the use of the 'F' word. Does he think with all the gore and violence that is commonplace on the show that it would be that much of an insult if the kid heard the profanity?? Its probably something you can't know, but I do find it interesting.

You're right. Anyone that has their kids watching this show can't be that offended at the 'F-word' at this point — they've OBVIOUSLY seen worse by now.

True, but the odds of bullets bouncing off of concrete and not bouncing into someone's body is pretty slim. But, point taken.

Man, I thought Harris was trying to kill off his franchise with the last third of that book. It was a betrayal of everything that came before it and was so badly written that it seemed, to me, to be deliberate.

The movie that 'Dare Not Be Named'. HAAARIBLE movie.

Clearly, the A/V Club isn't interested in really reviewing an 'R&B' album (or whatever euphemism you'd like to use.) If its not some pop or alternative output, they really don't see the value in giving it any effort. This one they had to, given Pharrell's heat, but really, they could give a shit.

OMG, someone actually read that I called myself a big leftie! Apparently I'm not leftie enough because I've never heard of the book, but I looked at it and its now on my reading list! Thanks for the suggestion. I will dive into it sometime this year (most likely), probably during the summer (thats my reading season.)

You may be right it was in her character, but it didn't come off funny to me, just petty and pathetic.

Oh, I agree its not a good reason! I am saying that with all irony and pessimism I can muster. I don't think TV producers think outside of the box when it comes to having more than one character being gay, unless the show is specifically about gay people (or black people, or jewish people, etc.) It's generally thought…

I guess my sense of pity is overwhelmed by my sense of anger. It angers me that her casually throwing out 'he made me' makes Ray look like the bad guy when he's COMPLETELY not. I can't stand the hypocrisy of MARNIE using that sentence!!

Don't count on the military to stop looking for him, either.
