Thanks, nknotz. Very kind of you.

Probably. Didn't get a chance to see it twice, but it was a stunner.

Thanks Sam!

No, it's my bad — was going off the listed credits online, and couldn't figure out why no recaps of the episode (including my own) mentioned it! Will fix.

Thanks for the clarification — I'll change the wording.

Thanks for the correction. I'm firing my fact-checker.

Love that book.

I used the word "mansplaining" a little too freely for a few commenters' tastes. Feel free to replace it with "supercilious condescending" if it bothers you. As I read the scene, Rebecca knew that the ear tug was a Carol Burnett thing, and I would bet that almost everyone who knows that, also knows what it meant. But…

Oh, I misinterpreted the sheet music, then — didn't it have her name printed on it?

My bad — I'll fix.

I yield to no one in my love of The Shield, but I don't think it's simple like this and Fargo s1. There were always a lot of balls in the air for the strike team and those around them, and a lot of subplots. Straightforward, yes, wonderfully so. But not simple.

Quite the opposite. He has so much great stuff going on. I'd be jealous, if I had the ability to think and write about it like he does.

Yepppppp.

Ah, out-thought myself on that one. Thankee!

Thanks sg_m!

Next week is "Cobbler," so …

It has been ever thus. Noel selects presents thoughtfully and creatively. I throw up my hands and grab something from the impulse stuff at the checkout.

Engel was an absolute hoot every time she appeared. A comic persona that simply can't miss.

Yes, it is.
