Liam Neesons!

I would love for this to be how it ends for Glenn.

The final scene was so odd; it's a tad implausible to think of worker-bees simply wandering off when their bosses are in mid-speech, but it was also perfect in terms of the story. The episode spent most of the hour with privileged people working very hard to maintain their privileges, and by the end, we viewers are a

Yes, I was Sandmanned by Sandman. A college prof assigned all 10 graphic novels, and I didn't love it as much as Gaiman seemed to love talking.

No, Mad Men is about alcohol, cigarettes, sex, fashion and sixties New York glamour, just like Entertainment Tonight has been saying all along. No one's inner life has been explored, and no cultural changes have been examined. It's just good-looking people and my god look at that dress, for seven years now.

Glen has capped off seven years of creepiness with a final nails-on-the-chalkboard bit of awkwardness that had me wanting the scene to end asap. I love me a good Betty episode but not when Glen is slobbering all over it.

After Betty gets a Masters in Psychology, I want Don to become a Certified Marriage and Family Therapist.

There are reports that boxer Floyd Mayweather does something similar.

She's thinking "my acting career is in the pits, maybe I'm just a lousy thespian" and it comes out "you ruined my life." Always easier to externalize failure.

Peggy and Stan need to keep working so that Don and Roger never have to.

Tried to watch this and the Duke-Wisconsin game at the same time. Which means I missed subtle points from Better Call Saul, and also endured another Duke championship, so I lost all the way around.

The show's meticulous commitment to historical accuracy and attention to tiny details of fashion and culture are impressive, but sometimes the unreality of Don Draper's life nearly undermines all of that. I don't doubt that impulsive back alley sex with a nameless waitress is possible, but it doesn't seem particularly

"the Chevrolet account was SC&P’s Vietnam—an all-too-enticing conquest that proved to be a soul-depleting quagmire"…. I feel dumb that I never thought of it that way before. That's perfect.

Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone is great enough, but the Live 1966 version is unmatched.

I agree that this doc was a little off, compared to the normally superb 30 for 30s. Maybe the entire premise just doesn't hold up; Duke was hardly hated in those years. Dick Vitale and Billy Packer worshipped Coach K and the Duke players. The team of that era that was genuinely divisive was Michigan, as another 30 for

This received a grade of B? Come on.

The band members would have been pushing 50 when that album was recorded. It would be interesting to compile a list of The Greatest Rock Songs Written After the Age of 45, because I have to believe the list is dreadfully short. Virtually no one in rock gets better after a certain age, say 35 or so; even when they

One of my FB friends never watched BB but is watching this. His primary question is, "where is this Saul guy? No one's named Saul."

I turned away several times. It was unwatchable, like an awards show.

SNL has done these reunion shows before (they did it 10 years ago), and I find them awkward and weird. Tom Hanks and Steve Martin? Check. Paul Simon? Check. It feels bloated and without context. Some of the skits, like the Californians, were abysmal. I felt bad for the people on stage. I'm thinking they could have
