I enjoyed the first few episodes, but this was the first one where the season-length-bottle-episode thing really started to stretch thin for me. Both the Judy King and Litchfield Idol storylines felt silly and overly-padded — as soon as Angie and Leanne were like, "let's put on a show!" I thought, "okay, so this is…

Late, but IIRC Walt's birthday is in September.

Wait, seriously? $500 is immensely fair for a commercial. The only thing they had him on was the "making seven different commercials instead of airing the same one seven times" thing.

I'd just say we can add you to the list of people who are lucky enough not to deal with those people. I've met them.

I'm sure pheeze knows that. What they're saying is that the sort of person who calls themselves a "First Amendment Absolutist" is the sort of person who *doesn't*.

Blaine paid his father's henchman to re-zombify him.

It was actually pretty awesome (and I say that as someone who doesn't always like Paul Feig's work), so sorry that's the hill you've chosen to die on?

Why would they cure themselves?

Definitely not. That was Jesse's aunt's house before it was Jesse's. I don't think they ever specify how long Jesse was living with her or when that started, but it's either occupied by Ginny solo or by Ginny and Jesse at the time of BCS.

Nice catch! You're right: Walt dissolved Mike's body with Todd's help.

I was super going for it — I've been in that "this is the last straw that sets the tears a-flowing" position one too many times — until he mentioned Chuck. Then it crossed over into pure vindictiveness.

They had an episode of Grey's Anatomy, if that counts…

You know what, I'll give them this: the knives really aren't bad.

I don't especially want to go back and look again, but I'm very certain there was a body with a Star of David on the wall in the first episode.

I also thought I saw Philip wrangling with what he's learned about his own father. Yes, working for the Nazis was a monstrous act, but Philip's blood isn't exactly squeaky-clean. It could be argued that both Ana and his father were the same sort of "nobodies" as Gabriel.

Yes, the Marthas are the household servants, like Rita.

Someone pointed out that Aunt Lydia is altered from the book (which I didn't remember), but I think that particular change is a good one. It's all the more chilling to see someone who obviously believes she cares about the Handmaids.

On that, I agree. Just wondering what makes the term "loaded" now.

They already showed a dead Jew in the first episode. The line threw me for a second, but then I figured she meant that she, as a Christian, had been invited to a friend's bat mitzvah (which, as a Jewish woman, is something that happened a lot when I was growing up).
