I'm amazed at how many American reviewers jump to the conclusion that Reinhardt is the main character because she's in both "series." Prey was written as a one-off, but was so successful that another adventure was created. I'm relieved that Kate seems to understand this.

I watch it for the fleeting glimpses of Dave Foley.

It's nice to see a John Simm project made available to American audiences. Prey on BBC America starting this Thursday, and 14 Hour Party People on Hulu.

This proves just how low the attractiveness bar is for men. My rule is, how would I react to this person if they were a stranger who started chatting me up in a bar.

But he's so goddamn ugly. I mean, we're talking a 2 (3 if I'm high) vs. at least an 8 (10 in the Midwest).

"Maybe this is the path you've been on all along, the path that led you right here."

I hadn't seen any of the promos, so it was a delightful surprise for me.

Raylan Givens and NYPD Blues' John Clark Jr. did it, cocking up each of their cases.

And her hand massaging his back. But, surprisingly, he did take it in stride.

That had me rolling. And I think the line originated with Real Genius.

Who does he think he's fooling with these two different jobs over the course of his childhood, including teenage years?

I was't thrilled when he badgered Baxter to testify. He and the cop ganged up on her. So not cool.

Goddamn. Everywhere I turn it's Armisen, Armisen, Armisen. When is everyone going to get as sick of him as I am?

There are so few heroic roles for women of any color.

Anachronism alert: "Do lunch" became a popular phrase in the '80s.

"Only" white women. Don't know if you've noticed, but entertainment programs are more and more rolling two "minorities" into one: black women, hispanic women, gay women, etc. It's a way to justify all the white men who overpopulate the entertainment media.

Still …

Seems like a writer's got a thing for the name Debra, used tonight in the party invite sketch and the unfamiliar Christmas song (my new ringtone) a few weeks ago.

John Simm.

Joel. MA-Cale.
