I thought it was significantly better than the second season, personally.

Orange Is the New Black

That was such a great scene. Just fantastic.

Yeah, I would really prefer a blank page where we can discuss that gets filled in later with a substantial review.

I think you're right that it looks as though Josh is deferring to Rachel — although I don't think he's so much agreeing to a decision he doesn't like as he is looking for permission to do what he really wants to do anyway. But I still think that Colton is better off with his adoptive family — who are not that bad, and…

I just think it's unfair to put that on Raquel. Colton isn't her son; Josh won't offer her any commitment; she's pregnant and miserable and stressed out. Josh shouldn't have let Colton leave, but he also shouldn't have left the choice up to her. She isn't superhuman, and she shouldn't have to be the only grown-up in…

The scene between Josh and Raquel was just heart-breaking.

I finished the whole thing last night.

That's what I thought about Maura in season 1, but I thought Josh and Ali were really interesting to watch in season 2. (Sarah, not so much.) And Shelly is my favorite member of the family. I want to see more of her.

Maura is actually one of my least favorite characters. Or at least, she is tied with the rest of her family. She complains about her children's self-absorption, but she is every bit as bad.

Based on the first episode, it is funnier than the first season.

Early in the first season Josh was the worst, but he grew up a little bit over the course of the season. Sarah is just terrible. She and Tammy deserve each other.

The jury decides each charge individually. They just didn’t believe that the prosecution had proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt on those charges.

Yeah, I just don’t think it’s the kind of thing that can be taught — it’s life experience, and the daughter doesn’t have it yet. And I think it’s too early to say that she doesn’t want her mother around. She just doesn’t know how to be an adult yet, and how to establish an adult relationship. The only way she will…

I don’t know, I think you’re being a little hard on the daughter. The first semester away at college is hard on everyone. The daughter is trying to establish her independence and I think it’s normal to pull away at first, even if you normally have a close relationship with your parents. If this behavior goes on for…

Well, his wife committed suicide the night he was shot. I'm assuming the estate is mostly the two Hartman children, who were very young at the time of their parents' deaths.

Right after Sandy Hook, Megan McCardle argued that we should be teaching children to rush shooters.

I had the worst cold of my life when I was about that pregnant with my son and it was in all honesty worse than the actual labor. I have nothing but sympathy.

Well, and The Americans.

My mother is very conservative in temperament and always wears very light makeup, so it made her extremely uncomfortable when I started experimenting with makeup in high school. One Sunday morning when I was sixteen, I tried a new lipstick I had just bought — darker than usual, but really not that bright. I could tell…
