The dividing line is that people in public are "fair game." It's kind of perverse to take pictures of celebrities buying groceries or whatever, but it's not really a privacy violation. This is more like breaking into someone's house to steal their photo album.

I'm pretty sure the Wiener thing was entirely consensual sexting with various women. Aside from the adultery angle, there's really nothing morally wrong that it at all. He didn't mess with anyone in his employ or anything. He did make the mistake of trying to blame hackers and issuing increasingly bizarre denials, so…

I would disagree. I think the Boomer/Sharon issues in the first half of season 2, culminating in the Pegasus arc, were even better.

So if Black Widow is ex-KGB, does the Soviet Union still exist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Yeah the same thing happens to me, but only in Firefox. It works ok on Internet Explorer.

I'm pretty sure the Emmies led me to Mad Men, which led in turn to Mad Men recaps on Slate, then better Mad Men analysis here at the AV Club, then my continued membership here and appreciation of good television.

I'll follow up when I finish the series; I haven't seen the whole thing yet.

In no particular order: Mad Men, The Americans, Battlestar Galactica, Veronica Mars, and something else.

You were wondering in your recaps what was in the extended version of Pegasus:

I continued watching Battlestar Galactica (2004) for the first time, watching through the three episode Pegasus/Resurrection Ship arc. It might be the absolute high point of the series, and it's incredibly good TV. I could talk at length about the complex characters, moral dilemmas and plot developments, but what…

Someone needs to get Viva Bianca on any TV show of any sort. She must have a great highlight reel; it's a shame that not even a mediocre show will give her a major role. Her and Enver Gjokaj are the two actors I really wish had achieved, if not prominence, than at least steady work.

That makes a lot more sense than Amazon, which lists the miniseries separately. It's a series, but with both parts in one very long episode, so it's really not a "series" at all then. Just baffling.

Along with Veronica Mars, this is one show I wish I had watched in high school. But I started watching this recently and am most of the way through season 2, so it'll be really great to have this as a discussion space.

There's a significant contingent among birthers who are also against Cruz, Jindal, and Rubio because their parents weren't all citizens. Not that self-consistency makes idiotic beliefs any better.

This was a very good final Jeopardy clue. You kind of have to connect the dots, but it's not too hard and not too difficult. I don't know if that's the best category though, since it's odd to call a naval cruiser a transport.

Yeah I really thought Gordon would have to choose his work over his marriage, and then there would be a contrast between his success in the former with his dissolving personal life. Mad Men did that a lot.

I've been catching up on The Mindy Project. I thought that I had I stopped watching season 2 just as it finally hit its stride, but checking the grades again it looks like the last half is only marginally better than the first half. Still, it's consistently amusing, so I might as well finish up the season.

The "rivers flowing between two countries" was a good category. Uruguay River, Colorado River, all good clues.

Joe being bisexual felt pretty natural to me. I kind of had an, "oh, ok, I can see that" reaction, but we shouldn't overlook how rare it is to have a major bisexual character on TV.

I'm loving it. Compelling, well-realized characters, compelling plots (both weekly and overarching), solid world-building, thematic resonance on many different issues. There's a lot more going in the first 15 episodes of BSG than, for example, Firefly/Serenity. (I loved that show when it aired and for a couple years…
