I was excited… I even had people over for pizza and wine and 2 hrs of The Killing. Does that make me a bad person? No. Me being a bad person makes me a bad person. On a related note, I turned my 6-month old nephew (sitting in his carseat) away from the TV so he could fall asleep IN PEACE. So there’s that.

Fay DONE-AWAY! Amirite People?!!?
Seriously though I liked her… she was a good influence on Don and he got rid of her because, even though we’d like to believe he’s changed he really hasn’t, and when given the option of confronting his past or running away again he runs. TVoveranalysisgum.com

The titles for these should be “Being White and ATTRACTIVE is hard” because, really, when you’re white and you don’t look like these cool kids shit gets pretty hard. Now then, I’ll go back to doing work at my cushy job instead of doing what I want to do – wearing skinny jeans and making a sexy quirky indie girl fall in love with me, and then having it fall apart so I can listen to Elliott Smith as I wistfully stare at he New England fall out of a train window (and no, I’m not being sarcastic, that’s my dream).

Ummm the Janitor was the fiancee from ‘My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancee’? I think?

Ughhh. The nerdtastic references to Buffy and Firefly and Felicity(?) are getting stifling.

What an insightful analysis of last night’s episode. Don’t we all feel like pre-schoolers every once in a while? On a real note, I used to watch silk stalkings with my dad, but I never had to write anything about it.

Ughh. I’m sorry NSF, you’re funny sometimes, but comments like these largely contribute to the feeling that you and the other regulars are too-cool-for-baby-school or whatever and we’re just not on your level. I (kinda) liked Boondock Saints and I think The Town looks pretty damn good – sorry that I don’t always agree with Gabe and the VG superbrain. I get what Indie is saying and I also think Gabe is understating the ending, but it either way it was a well executed movie and very enjoyable.

Man, I’m just so sick of all these STAR WARS.

Was anybody else as mad as I was that “Little Dorrit” didn’t win for best mini-series?

I bet I could fit my entire arm in your vagina.

I can’t believe no one’s gotten this – “Enhance” is from JFK. P.S. I didn’t actually see it.

Sit right there, I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called CHINA.

That is just a great idea, it should be applied to every movie club/wmoat/everything else. I’d replace Idioteque with Street Spirit.

Has anyone ever noticed how creepy Lloyd Dobbler’s outfit is? What is that, an orange trenchcoat and a tshirt tucked snugly into sweatpants? The 1980′s were no excuse for that.

I don’t know what that means.

Loved it. Don spent the entire season peeing on everyone’s face before realizing that he needs them because he has no one else and then he has to wipe the proverbial pee off of their faces. Next season he picks the huge dump he took on Sal’s chest up in a tiny plastic bag by turning it inside out. Seriously though, new beginnings for all. New office for Don and his crew, new family for Betty, new president for America. A little parallel to our times, perhaps? No, probably not… but really, yeah.
