There's one — when Frank had sex with Dottie (Butterface) who had a dangerous heart condition, right after hiding the fact that they'd just found her a new heart. She died.

If there is one constant about TV and movie award shows throughout the years, it's that they always give people plenty to complain about…

I'm okay with that…

So, Juliette is the new Dark One now?

Yeah, but even if it's kinda realistic, where are they going to go with it? They used the same old "I'll tell Belle" ten seconds in. How many times have they been over that old ground? It shackles both the Rumple and Belle characters into the very same story line they've been through two or three times already.

Meh. OUAT is really trying my patience. The "finale" was okay, I guess, but really? They couldn't come up with something better than pressing the reset switch and *poof* Rumple is the Dark One, yet again? Come on, out of all the traditional and modern fairy tales they couldn't come up with another antagonist?

I guess Fargo must be odds on for another armful of Emmys again this year. 3 wins and 18 nominations last year. I can't see how they won't beat both those totals this year.

Nah, you're not wrong, and I don't think it's just America's culture, though clearly Hollywood has a big say…

This is probably the real memorial the (likely fictional) plaque is referencing:

The producers of Game of Thrones have repeatedly said that 10 episodes a year is all they can handle. Given the complexities and quality of their production, I believe them.

Well, they resisted as long as they could, I guess, but tonight it was "kids do the dumbest things and it all goes to hell" night.

One has to assume that when another operation is moving in on your turf, you make it your business to know as much about their movements as possible. Floyd will be getting her intelligence from her low-level operatives who will have been told to keep their eyes and ears open.

Though ancient aliens is more crackpottery than philosophy.

Nations like Sweden and Denmark probably come closest to the feminist ideal in terms of equal rights, opportunity and respect for women, yet they don't seem to have a problem with their youth blowing themselves up.

No, the meta theme is that if you want a niche, high quality show to survive, even on HBO, you don't choose to write an expensive period drama. Such are the realities of TV.

Plenty of other shows on TV to watch, so not sure why you're torturing yourself…

Hank not checking on Peggy didn't bother me (plenty of plausible reasons why the imminent threat of a massacre—including his son—at his own police station would be prioritized above all else), but it's perfectly possible that they filmed a scene they then had to axe to fit into the running time of the show.

HBO's The Leftovers is up there with it, but there aren't many, that's for sure.

When Hank found himself still alive, some time later, he would likely have assumed that whatever had been about to go down when he was knocked unconscious was over, and given the dire straits his station was in, it's not implausible to assume he decided that was his priority.

But Bob Loblaw would be funnier…
