While I love that, I hate that it looks like there's nothing else for that show. My second favorite drama* last year for sure.

I'm torn. I want Bob's Burgers to win, since it deserves recognition, but that Futurama episode was clearly, IMO, the best one in that list.

I swear to God, I love Maggie Smith, but if she wins again, over both Anna Gunn and Lena Heady doing series best work, just ugh

At least Andre Braugher got nominated, if not that would just be insane, but literally NOTHING else for Brooklyn Nine-Nine? Really!? At least OitNB and Veep got some love.

Now I want to live in a world where Martin Freeman wins both awards, and it's just super awkward for everyone involved. Has that ever happened?

Mini-series related tangent, it's hilarious that Sherlock being nominated as a TV Movie means Benedict Cumberbatch is going up against Martin Freeman in Fargo as Lead Actors. Hope there's no bad blood.

Nothing for Hannibal D:

It's up against American Horror Story, Luther, Bonnie & Clyde, The White Queen, and, of all things, Treme. I'm sorry, but shouldn't Treme be, like, disqualified for being a continuous series? I get the loophole AHS uses, but that seems weird.

Glad to see the TV Review section isn't dead, but it was weird not getting previews for Extant or The Bridge. I hope that wasn't an indicator of reduced coverage for this section, I think it does a better job helping with the start watching/continue watching decision than the episodic reviews do.

I want as many nominations for Orange is the New Black and Brooklyn Nine-Nine as humanly possible, and I want them to team up and crush Modern Family beneath an iron boot of quality. More realistically, they will split the vote among voters who care, leaving Modern Family to win with the crowd that just turns their…

ENLISTED?!?!?!?

My counter-argment isn't much of one. Problems 1 and 4 are both very true, and bother me too. 2 can be kind of rationalized by Vee not being actually as smart as her reputation, but that's weak. Only 3 can really be refuted, Rosa was definitely dangerous in her flashback, and having her take out Vee is poetic because…

Oh yeah, that was part of the motivation for the excommunication for sure. I'm just talking in a broader character sense.

Alex is another great example of the dimensional characters on this show. She does some awful, manipulative stuff, but you can always see why she did it, and you still have sympathy because she deserves prison, but she doesn't deserve to be killed. It's both totally plausible why Piper would still love her and still…

I love their arc through this season. It started as a simple running gag, that then evolved into this whole emotional thing.

Gloria's a regular next season, so we're getting more of her at least.

Nah, Ingalls was the secondary target. Figureoa seemed way too spooked by that reporter sniffing around.

I think there definitely was a narcissistic aspect to her actions though, but I think her bigger sin is not admitting that to herself rather than just the narcissism. I mean, what's so wrong with a little self-congratulation, right? But because she couldn't admit that aspect, it started becoming unconscious and…

That's actually kind of insightful. A lot of these characters are more defanged in the outside world when they're stuck in systems they can't control, unlike prison where, ironically, they can take full advantage of the reinvention process. Of course, then you have characters like Morello and Rosa who were way more…

And of course, people who do good things still have the capacity to do terrible things, even if they should know better. That's also an important part of this show.
