The letter to Sally reminded me of the scene of Betty and her father way back in Season 3 when Gene tried to talk to Betty about what would happen after he died. Betty wasn't able to handle it and dismissed it. Contrast that to Sally who now has the maturity that Betty lacked only years ago - although Sally resembles…

I'm a pharmacy student and I've been thinking more and more about working when I'm finished. The pay is great and there are a few career paths I can take once I've graduated, but I've been wondering if this is what I really want to do forever. I know that sounds like such a trivial 'first world problem', but I don't…

30 Rock pretty much mastered the mixture of stupidity and genius. "The fart machine won't stop farting" and "ME WANT FOOD!" are hysterical and yet really dumb.

I know the episode won't be reviewed for a few weeks, but the moment I realised how great Krakowski/Jenna is was in "Black Tie". Krakowski's dancing at Gerhardt's request is one of my all time 30 Rock favourite moments.

Everyone knows the most delicious part of the muffin is the top.

I think it's actually a pretty cool, chilly throwback to pulp films. It's not a perfect film and the twist is glaringly obvious, but it's moody and beautifully shot and really nails the tone.

"In Fear" is Irish, not British. Ireland is not part of the UK. That sounds really nit-picky, but it's not.

I remember feeling completely paralysed after (SPOILER) the boy was shot. That static shot of the TV set stained with blood is horrifying and gives the appropriate amount of time needed to digest not only the scene itself, but the film's goals in general.

Even if season 5 isn't 30 Rock at its best, it still features one of my all time favourite lines:

Look how Greenzo's testing! They love him in every demographic: colored people, broads, fairies, commies…gosh we've got to update these forms.

Greenzo: I've always been Greenzo.
Jack: No, you're crazy. And you're fired.
Greenzo: Oh, really. Can you fire the wind, Jack? Can you fire a hurricane?
Jack: We're developing that technology.

That post office story is amazing. Also, I love how his mom resolved the vendetta accidentally and that she wanted to continue the vendetta after she slipped up by saying "Have a nice day".

"Denise, you look pretty"
"What?"
"I said you look shitty"

Mutated undergarments for mutant women.

I don't know what everyone else's opinions are on Aja's other works, but the first hour or so of his The Hills Have Eyes are pretty damn effective. He doesn't rely on cheap gore and violence (like he does in the second hour), just creates tension to an almost unbearable level. There's such a tangible sense of dread…

I mean, the whole blow-job-with-dismembered-head is so pointless and tacky initially, and then at the reveal, it makes absolutely zero fucking sense. Just shock for shock's sake.

No, that one stars Liv Ullmann.

If the show could grasp that it's not very good and just really embraced its stupid premise and went bat-shit crazy, it could be something that's really fun and great to watch. Instead, it's in that Walking Dead middle ground where it tries to be lurid and pulpy at times but then also tries to make you care about…

Also, the scene where Erlich fights that little kid.

How is no one else mentioning Looking? It's definitely not as flashy as most other shows on TV, but it's so damn charming, funny and, well, romantic! I don't think it was my favourite show of the year, but it was still pretty damn great. Also, the direction by Haigh was fantastic.
