I don't understand why people keep thinking Betsy is going to die violently. Don't you think that's something Molly would have been aware of in Season 1, being Lou and Betsy's daughter and all??

The title refers to a great anecdote about a Nazi officer who was tasked with searching the apartment of Pablo Picasso during WWII. During his search, he came across "Guernica" and—apparently knowing Picasso was an artist—asked him "Did you do this?" Picasso smiled at him and said, "No, you did."

I think she's a fairly awful person but yes, I was rooting for her against Dodd.

I'm not the sort of man to easily judge what kind of fetish gets another man off, but dudes that are into "financial domination" are really fucked up. What's worse, Vernon's already married, which is just like being financially dominated only with slightly more benefits.

Fair enough.

I took the "Rhinoceros" to refer to those charging ahead without thinking in this episode, specifically Dodd and Bear.

If they were trying to make Peggy more sympathetic, they failed. She's almost as unsympathetic as Dodd.

The Leftovers has its moments but it's ultimately too self-congratulatingly cryptic when compared to Fargo.

He may have been looking to find someone to deliver a message to Mike/Kansas City….only to discover that Kitchen talks even less than him.

Yeah, I wondered about that too. I thought at first maybe Bulo was out of bullets, but I don't think we ever see him fire the rifle.

Everything you say is true except for the part about her not being a hoarder. Because she obviously is.

Ed might no longer be the Butcher of Luverne, but he's certainly a fine butcher of Gerhardts.

SNL seems like the perfect venue for someone whose laugh lines are almost always unintentional.

I got the sense that FX moved it to FXX specifically to protect it from cancellation. After years of success with some of the best TV dramas ever produced, FX is now officially a "prestige" network and its ad rates and resultant ratings expectations show that. FXX is the mutant baby where they can stick passion

I paid about $300 a month for a half-day kindergarten. It only took one year of that for me to tell my progeny "Sorry but you're going to have to just deal with public school from here on out."

I did appreciate the less-than-subtle but not too over the top dig that Falk made at the couple's shoving off the baby—who they're apparently getting ready to enroll in a ridiculously expensive academy so she can be "an amazing woman"—onto a Hispanic nanny who literally gets dumped on.

I'm a pretty low-key viewer but I was literally screaming at my television when Gretchen started walking out the door.

One minute in: "What the fuck is this? Did I DVR the wrong show?"
Three minutes in: "Oh, OK, there's Gretchen. What the hell is going on?"
Five minutes in: "Why are they focusing on these hipster uber-douches so much?"
Ten minutes in: "Oh, I see where they may be going with this."
Twenty minutes in: "Wait, is Gretchen
