Academy Award winner and frequent Rob Marshall collaborator Dion Beebe! http://www.imdb.com/name/nm…

Box office Mojo doesn't specify a limited run for this in December, so they're clearly not trying to fein any sense of prestige here. Even frickin' Lone Survivor had a qualifying run (although it did get Sound award noms and a WGA nod out of it).

I'm PRETTY sure y'all mean Simon Boyd from the wonderful AMC classic drama Low Winter Suzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

I've been watching him on and off, and I really like it. Although I think it's similar to Last Week Tonight where I find the more serious aspects of the show entertaining than a lot of the stabs at comedy (anything with the correspondents is way, way too broad most of the time).

"That somehow leads to an even more nakedly derivative riff on It’s A Wonderful Life, with Joe being given invaluable life lessons by a guardian angel played by Patrick Warburton."

Yeah, even if no one's life was on the line, or no one revealed some series-changing plot twist, or anything in general of immediate note plot-wise happened, at the final cut to black I still uttered a little "holyshit" and left my jaw a little agape. What an incredible ending.

I wanted more Tawney tonight in general, but I guess a lack of her was fitting with the Teddy-centric nature. Hopefully we get more of her in the coming weeks. Her one scene tonight was great.

This was only Melvin's third scene in the whole show, but I really, really love his character. His moment with Amantha in the first season was almost heartbreaking in how much empathy he showed for her and her family, and he has a similar touching scene early in season 2. It's nice to finally see him and Daniel…

Yeah, I just left another comment about how well the show handles Tawney's religion, and Clemens's performance helps a lot in that. As someone that knows a number of evangelical Christians, Tawney is one of the most dead-on portrayals of one that I've seen in TV or film.

I love this show so much that I went to, uh, acquire this episode, found out that it was on Sundance's website for non-cable subscribers, and decided to suffer through six commercials a break just to legally support this show.

I got the sense that as it was happening he was trying to fight any outward representation of it - the ultimate "no really, I'm fine!" response. The fact that he just sat there as the waitress called 911 definitely indicates that he's not doing well.

That's a good point - the fact that her parents seem to have never come up as a possibility to stay with seems to indicate that they're out of the picture in one way or another (passed on, falling out, out of state…). I'd love to learn where she comes from, especially since Clemens is probably my #2 MVP on the show…

Yeah, my older sister loved reading the series, and had probably the first two dozen books. It was one of those book series that she really enjoyed and tried to get me to read, but as with 90% of books I would get bored 2-3 pages in. That probably messed up my book-reading abilities in the long-term hardcore.

"Remember, women can't deny the authority of therapy, and/or Oprah…"

"Bumbling hospital administrator Mike D’Angelo"? Does he disappear halfway through season 1 as well, to start covering the budding Cannes Film Festival?

God, he looks like a tiny Jason Alexander in that clip.

"The Prius is silent if he keeps under five miles an hour. He deserves the win."

Yeah, I'm in a Native American History class right now, and "American Indian" is generally the more accepted term, but many also prefer being referred to as their specific tribe.

When I was binging this last Friday, that was the quote I picked to go with my Facebook status recommending the show. But no, 2090 is an OK date. I mean, keep in mind that she came up with that on the spot, and as someone that thought the world ended in 2000 that's still a very far away date.

He *better* show up in season 2, though. He works so wonderfully with the universes that Tina Fey creates.
