Proof that Panic in Central Park was a fluke, and this episode also undid that episode in one scene. Back to hate watching again

A show about a guy's dad dying, business failing and descent into heroin addiction?

Best episode since season 1, possibly full stop. Turning emotionally immature people into a compelling story and commentary instead of actually trying to get people to follow the inane happenings on their own terms. Such a pleasant surprise for a show I've been hate watching for 4 years.

A criminal as dumb as Daniel is going to get caught sooner or later. Nacho can get another payday then stay away from that fool.

Better Call Saul is good at showing the spectrum of criminal intelligence rather than just idiots and masterminds (which even Breaking Bad was guilty of). Nacho is competent and cunning but not a chessmaster.

Mike's speech about being a criminal seems to have backfired horribly.

But show watchers don't know that (and neither do book readers given all the changes).

I don't think any of the angst translates to people tuning out of the show. I don't know what next week's going to end on but Daenerys on the back of Drogon headed for Westeros should have been it.

This episode tried to be both kinds of penultimate episode at once. The surprising tragic event style (Baelor/Rains of Castamere) doesn't mix with the epic fight style (Blackwater/Watchers on the Wall). If they were in 2 different episodes, both scenes would have worked, but Shireen's death ruins a perfectly good…

Non stop wit. Like a full length episode of all the characters watching Ben Swain's Newsnight interview.

Little tidbit; the song Bert sings comes from a 1925 musical, so it's from around the same time Bert would have founded the original Sterling Cooper agency (Don says "40 years ago" in the season 3 finale, which was late 1963). The agency that just got sold to McCann. Just an extra little layer I suppose.

I wouldn't be surprised if the series finale, or even the whole back half, fails to stick to the 1960s. On the other hand there's enough room for Weiner to say whatever he wants. Things like Woodstock and the Manson Family can be mixed with more "timeless" things like Scooby Doo, Sesame Street and the Boeing 747 (just…

I have a feeling this episode was the "happy"/"tv" finale before a very dark, philosophical and downright weird final 7 episodes. Personally I can't wait.

Don's facial expression at the end was the perfect mix of happiness, grief and "I've made a huge mistake". Reminded me of Oldboy's final scene.

The only characters that are the same in between In The Loop and either The Thick of It or Veep are Malcolm Tucker, his assistant Sam and Jamie. Every other character who shows up is completely different.

He was the journalist that Jonah talks to in tonight's episode. Although he talks to a "Rob" on the phone, but in the cafe says "Ben, check this out".

There was Ben Swain's actor playing a different character. It's a shame that the shows don't appear to take place in the same universe.

A season of British TV is often only 6 episodes; shorter "seasons" of TV exist, like the IT crowd's final "season" of 1 episode, but that's the shortest common one. If the movie is 2 hours long and can split into 6 parts for TV airing (the way the Futurama episodes were split), it will function as both a "season" and…

Post something like this in the top level shortly before the next episode airs. The site is much, much better for it.

Dallas came back after 22 years off the air. Pierce is dead, so the oldest "main" cast member that's appeared in every season is Ken Jeong, who's 44. Of the greendale 7 Jeff and Shirley are 42. If the cult following's anything like Arrested Development, there's ample time and enough interest for a series to spring up…
