B? This episode was literally… wait, yep, literally my favourite episode of this season so far. Traded in some humour for some emotional depth and character development, in a show that is so insular at times character development at this stage is very impressive.

I actually thought, as this show has been doing a fair bit of lately, that the comedy was dialled back a tad in favour of optimism, poignancy and beauty.

I actually worried I was underwhelmed when the credits rolled, but within seconds I realised what I really was, was disappointed that it was over already because it was /damn/ /perfect/. And this is coming from someone who has loved this show even from its somewhat weak beginnings.

Wasn't the best, but far from terrible. I actually quite enjoyed Aaron Neville and thought the only reason for the break in character was the fact that the script was genuinely quite hilarious.

I agree, and therefore it will end just in time. But really, the show got less funny but more emotionally complex. It's similar to How I Met Your Mother in that respect too, but like you said, and unlike that show, this one should end just in time.

I'm not sure any TV show makes me both laugh and cry as much as this one can.

Alicia kicked more ass than she has all season, and she finally has a remotely worthwhile love interest.

"Buckle up and get ready for the ride of your life. I have two airbags with.. your names on them."

This is one of the reasons why I think best-of lists should be written after new-year. That, and the fact that lots of December stuff gets neglected otherwise.

Here's the problem with The Newsroom. Unlike traditional anti-heroes on cable, the characters are normal, flawed people resembling sit-com characters than Walt White or Don Draper. Thus, when characters express their views and opinions, reviewers tend to immediately attribute every opinion and attribute these to Aaron…

I can't help but sense that the constant panning of this show by professional critics feels defensive and has the unfortunate side effect of preventing a carefully engaging and constructive analysis on occasion. Plus, it strikes me as odd that these reviews always seem to suggest that nobody likes or watched this…

Don't get me wrong, I agree with this A. I just think the show hasn't yet, and may never live up to the 10+/10 episodes before Will's death. Another Ham Sandwich and Hitting The Fan are still TGW's two superlative entries in to the annals of TV history.

Being the only one, as it seems, that can still sympathise with Peter, I am guessing I alone felt moved by their interview. All the emotion, clearly on display, tells a long and complicated, story of love and betrayal.

I also still maintain that Alicia's double-standards and the demands she makes on Peter are completely unfair, and feel like every time Alicia brings up his cheating that dates back further than even the first episode of the show, Peter's hard done by.

I actually enjoyed the exploration of Elsbeth's deeper, inner workings and turmoil. It feels almost overdue, and humanised a character that has always been level raising, but has always seemed as more of a prop than a person.

Merely a question, this is my favourite TV show, period. And I'd probably have given the episode a straight A.

As an Aussie law student, in the deposition scene referring to offer and acceptance, I couldn't help but feel the legal issue here was actually certainty (that is, the contract seemed vague), and, that contrasted/complemented by a lack of proper intent (neither, or at least one party, had insufficient intention to…

Missing Nathan For You, but I guess it's only a few eps in to season two.

It's criminal that Sia's breathtakingly and tremendously tear-jerking power ballad "Chandelier" missed a mention. I rate it as one of this decade's best pop songs.

Am I the only one left standing rooting for Peter and Alicia? He's been nothing but supportive and faithful to her for five seasons now, and Finn and Alicia don't have a lot of chemistry. Plus, it would just make for the worst possible hook-up story: "Well kids, I met your father after the guy I was cheating with, you…
