Congrats, man. Just imagine how great the kids' shows are gonna be by the time she's 7.

He seems like the most approachable of the guys from R.E.M., too. (Maybe Bill, but Peter Buck always seems like he'd really rather be someplace else and Stipe, well, he's Michael Stipe.)

Counterpoint! if there's a way they can set it up so my five year old can interview Mike Mills - he's five and his favorite song is "Don't Go Back to Rockland."

AV Club Parents Week sounds like a sensational idea. Just people's parents doing interviews and album reviews and stuff. I'd read it.

Marah's dad is like, the Boomer-est dad to ever boom. YOU INTERRUPTED TODD RUNDGREN DUDE

Dale Murphy was pretty much the only highlight the Braves had between Hank Aaron and, oh, 1991.

Wasn't Don's Social Security card in that envelope that Meridith handed him this week? Or was it all Dick Whitman's stuff?

oh look you created a brand new account today just to fedora up our comment thread

Cooper was an OG weeaboo, though. He dug it because it's crazy Japanese shit.

The sad thing is apparently GRRM MEANT for him to be a cool and intimidating character, and it just fell so so flat. He's like one of those 90s Image Comics characters. I bet he's got pouches all over his armor and a gigantic unwieldy sword with little swords stuck all over it.

I'm not sure exactly what Harry is supposed to represent, but there's clearly a message there about the power of television, power corrupting, TV being terrible, something like that, yeah.

I think it was Shirley telling Roger off, as much as was acceptable for someone who might still need a reference letter eventually. She doesn't see him as a threat or even intimidating - he's a sad old man with a stupid mustache. He's just… silly to her.

I think I've said it before, but one of the story arcs that's really weird and compelling is the rise and fall of Harry Crane. In season 1, he was the Least Awful of the account guys - doting husband, proud father-to-be, he wasn't into banging secretaries, etc. Now? Jesus, he's a scumbag.

Shirley pretty much told Roger where to stick it, politely. "You're very amusing."

Meredith really really came into her own this half-season. Going from SURPRISE THERE'S AN AIRPLANE HERE TO SEE YOU to basically being the one person who keeps Don functioning…

Roger is Don's cool older brother. Bert Cooper is the father Don never had, and I don't think Don even realized it until after Cooper died.

Oh my god the spinoff is Joan in Atlanta in the 80s! Ted Turner! Dale Murphy!

Burning a greyscale patient seems like a terrible fucking idea. I don't know how it's transmitted, but…

Darkstar is fucking hilarious. "MEN CALL ME DARKSTAR AND I AM OF THE NIGHT." Like, you know this was not a good plan when you brought along Broody McMurdermope as a key component.
