The answers? 67 and six weeks. The questions? How many pizza boxes did it take to reach from floor to ceiling of my junior year college apartment, and how long did it take for my two roommates and I to figure this out? Yes, we averaged nearly two pizzas a day. College!

"And then there are red hat ladies. It's a thing."

Casey's confessionals sound like typical Bravo-y half-serious snark, but she's not bringing any whimsy to it. Like a play she's performed too many times.

Looking forward to some Masuka and Quinn hijinks next season.

I'm still writing "Damn you, 2016!" on my checks.

Holy crap, that was him! I'd forgotten, but yep that's pretty much it. Consciously I was thinking about Bill Simmons early anecdotes about living near him. Anyway, never show a Rapaport a moment's kindness, that's the only way to deal with him.

Rapaport is like that one kid in the neighborhood who zeroes in on you and tries like hell to win you over, while simultaneously bullying you and everybody else. At first you resist, but gradually he wears you down and you relent, just to take the pressure off…..and then you're stuck in his world of backyard…

The old phrase "excuse me for living" springs to mind….

I lived on Capitol Hill from '99-'03. Rented a two-bedroom condo on 18th and John for $650 a month including utilities — the owner would come spend every third weekend or so there, but otherwise I had the run of the place. I haven't been back to Seattle since, but my guess is finding a similar setup in that…

I like Fred.

I feel like Gwen went into this thinking she finally found the holy grail — a topic that would hook Carrie into enjoying being interviewed. Oh well, back to the drawing board, pop culture journalism industry….

I used to call Van Hagar "hairdresser rock" for the same reason — it all sounded like default retail atmosphere music. Not totally fair to Hagar, as most of 1984 would also fit the bill, but at the time I hoped they'd revert back to harder stuff. No such illusions once 5150 came out.

You…don't really want a society where victims decide punishments.

For more fun facts about Greenland, please watch the Greenland episode of Borgen. More generally, please watch Borgen.

Best movie I saw all year. The actor playing the mohawked booker inhabited his role as completely as any performance I can think of from last year. He and several other early touches (i.e. the gas siphoning) were just tremendous small-scale world-building triumphs.

I don't doubt producer shenanigans from time to time, but it's hard to see ratings gold in Emily. She's not disruptive at all — she just unhappy, and the others ignore her whenever possible.

"Tell set design to build me an office. It should feature absolute symmetry and no focal point, like all offices."

For most, if not all, recaps….

Could be. I'd expect a pull on the heartstrings if so, though (not that Jamie would be obliged to or that its any of our business, just…if a guy with neck tats has a story to tell, I can't see him keeping it in his pocket).

Dennis Perkins — always a good notion to catch up on the classics. I find Liberty Valance engrossingly strange, and The Red Shoes deserves all the appreciation it gets. I was underwhelmed by 8 1/2, though — I'm not well-versed in formal elements, so you might have an in there, but the story I thought dull and…
