The Wishing Boot was stuck in my head all night, even through the musical performances. Speaking of which, when does Kate McKinnon get her own show?

As much as BB&B gives them for the entire series' existence.

He looks to be important in the next episode, since one of them is in his office getting work done according to the trailer.

The pilot for Marry Me had potential, and really made me want to like it (plus the Happy Endings-lovechild it was supposed to be) but the characters just got too stupid too fast.

So many great dynamics tackled in The Fall, despite only 11 total episodes. The still-messy NI, the still-distrust of the PSNI in Belfast, sexual/gender/power dynamics, and good ol' fashioned serial killers.

It's amazing how much love we have for our bloodiest war in the nation's history.

You're right. I remember that now. But it wasn't much screen time and could've been played by anyone in the cast, really.

My favorite part is how each character remembers one another, and themselves. Noah remembers Alison as beautiful, hair-down, perfectly-fitting dress with a grace about her. But she remembers herself as depressed, hair-up no effort put into appearance, stumbling from moment to moment in the wake of her son's death.

The most entertaining thing tonight besides the pre-taped segments was Sia. As long as I continue to believe that the interpretive dance was a parody of itself it makes it worth watching.

I completely agree with your final point: We need to see evil Winston. We already know how bad he is at pranking, but what if he were truly evil (for a week)?

Mid-reputable series have the notable ability to be GREAT at delivering an agenda without looking like they're trying to deliver an agenda. Look at Broad City and Orphan Black, two of my favorite contemporary TV series.

The Fall makes sense given the open ending, but Broadchurch was self-contained, and so was Top of the Lake. I mean, of course I'll watch them, but they can't be as good as the originals.

I need to watch less TV. In 2013, almost thankfully, everything I loved ended or got cancelled for the most part, so I got to spend a lovely 4 months with almost no TV to worry about.

I'm glad they let them continue producing the remaining episodes after cancellation. This is going to be one of those dumb one-day binge shows I'm going to recommend to friends, since there's at least some finality to it (and a rollercoaster of emotions if you watch them all straight through). Thanks for keeping up

Black Mirror was added to Netflix, and I quickly binged all of it, and then forced my friends to do the same (they appreciated it). And after suffering a horrible drought of cringe in the absence of The Office (UK) I was introduced to Extras, even more cringe-inducing, and with the added bonus of David Bowie.

I would've been perfectly happy with the dream crabs not being dream crabs, but instead being monsters that can only see you when you think about them. They're like Reverse Silence, in a way.

I really hope that's not happening. But it even happened to Broadchurch, a show I thought you simply couldn't reproduce in the US (and of course they didn't do it very well).

It's about as graphic as you can get away with on network television. Which, turns out, is pretty damn graphic. Twice I've had to look away from the TV.

As someone who has seen (and loves) the show, that Black Mirror trailer was absolutely horrible. It mashes up all three episodes of the first season, when they are separate entities.
