Above I lamented the fact that Girls now tries to tell too many characters' stories. Bored to Death only got better and better each season because it really stuck to developing its main characters, who for all their faults were and flaws were lovable. I miss that series.

Ten half-hour episodes a season are really not enough time to tell the Girls' stories as well as they were once told when the show started and far fewer characters existed in the universe of the series. It seems now that developments are given rather short shrift and told in a kind of shorthand that doesn't seem to…

I also agree that it seems rather odd that no one can understand Ellie's very human reaction to the Joe's confession. In fact, they all seem astounded by it.

For me, FX just kills it at ten o'clock on Tuesdays with Justified and Wednesdays with The Americans.

I, for one, wish they wouldn't do that. It really ruins the surprise and suspense. I usually try to turn off the TV or switch channels.

He is certainly a much better actor than his big brother Ben.

My answer to your post was was accidentally posted above. Sorry.

Nor should it.

But the point is he did not become a criminal.

You're wrong. Mad men is just as great now as it was in its first few seasons. I suspect you're one of those people who turned against in later seasons because it accurately portrayed the changing times, and you didn't like those changes any more than many of the people who actually lived through them.

Sorry, but your friend is an idiot.

After four years of a Catholic grammar school and four at a Catholic high school, I certainly had had enough. By the way, I am a person of faith. I just don't place it in a god.

Let's face it; you just hate older people and want to plot to be exclusively about the twentysomething generation. Ho hum.

This is actually a very common phenomenon. Stoicism when people are lost and sincere if wild-eyed grief when animals are hurt or killed.

Hey, you certainly have an appropriate screen name for your style of child rearing, I must say.

For anyone who doesn't believe an adult, like Carol, can scare a kid into silence, think about all those children who were abused by coaches or priests and never said anything for years because of what those guys threatened would happen to them if they did.

Yeah, the mother of a little girl has no understanding of children. I'd say she understood very well how much she had scared the stuffing out of this kid.

They had to have a second beautiful horse gruesomely murdered by zombies? Really, that is just overkill—literally.

Plunging ratings? Yes and no:

Yeah, a B when it actually deserved an A for the incredible emotional suspense that slowly built throughout the episode until it was almost unbearable. It's what is known as good writing and acting to people who can appreciate it.
