Can this be the thread where we do our own ballets?

The arrows on fire in the dark was also really fucking great. Just the little flashes of brightness among the wildlings was epic. The show should keep Marshal on retainer for all climactic battle episodes.

I've seen the first seven episodes (no spoilers) and I think the season is shaping up to be pretty damn great. I think the show has done a really excellent job with the ensemble this year, even better than the first season. The community is growing and becoming beautifully shaded. One time caricatures are becoming

"We can't overestimate the value of computers. Yes, they are great for playing games and forwarding funny emails. But real business is done on paper, okay? Write that down."
*everyone types on their laptops*

"That's our building, and we sell paper. I'm really proud of you"

I feel like every week that I comment I mention that a certain moment from an episode is one of my favourites from the series, but damn am I in love with that scene at the wedding where Pam and Roy dance to "You Were Meant for Me". I love how Pam nervously and carefully re-enters her relationship with Roy,

I sincerely hope that this is just a feature length game of True American.

Honestly? Because they appear to be very different shows. B99 goes the Parks & Rec route, valuing community and heart as well as comedy, while Tribeca seems to be going the 30 Rock route and trying to fit in as many jokes as possible. That's not to say that Tribeca won't evolve into something gentler like Brooklyn 99,

Whenever I think of CBS' target audience, I always wonder how they initially reacted to The Good Wife. Serialised plot, assertive female character that's good at her job, bisexuals - it must have thrown them for a loop.

Or, they could make it NCIS: San Francisco, and have him solve crimes with Dom's mustache and Dorris.

Yeah, but she was so heavily criticised by online communities for being a 'drag', like she was stopping all of Walt's fun. And the attacks seemed so weirdly aggressive. I remember a certain time on the site when people thought it was open season on Gunn, pretty much insulting every aspect of her physical appearance

Also, the name of the show kinda made me think of a True Detective setting - swampy, corrupt, inbred, small-town. It's kinda disappointing to see that it's just a generic city as the setting.

Winters will be fine - he's a Duffy. The Duffys didn't give up when they got kicked out of Ireland. They didn't give up when America sent them back. And they didn't give up when Ireland then just set them adrift on a log.

The plot of Michael marking one of the girls with a marker to stop getting them mixed up is one of the most painful and hilarious gags the show has ever done. It just slays me every time. Also, that lovely moment when Jim and Michael laugh about is so great. They make Michael stupid and inconsiderate but then reign

I know this is a tall order, but I am aching for another "The Suitcase" before the show is finished. I don't mean replicate it, but I need an episode devoted to the relationship between Don and Peggy. I don't want the show to end and for it to be implied that Don and Peggy have reunited. Hamm and Moss have such

Not to start this again, but I think when it was just the one person format, it was without doubt the best review of each episode on the internet. Now, it's still great, but the essays that accompanied each episode in the previous seasons were stunning. I don't know if the crosstalk really does the show justice.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I love the scene in the parking lot at the end between Jim and Pam. It's brief, but perfectly awkward and sweet. Pam telling Jim that he can do whatever he wants (referring to dating Karen) and Jim not saying anything back just feels so raw and real. And I love Pam's giddiness leading up to Jim's return, only to be

Aww. I really liked it. I've always been a huge Betty defender and that little moment on the bed at the end is just so telling. Maybe we've heard it before, but Betty being so insecure about every action is so melancholic and she's so obviously a woman of her time.

A
