  1. ok, so i just put something together last night, which was probably obvious to others, but i've only watched s7 a couple times (instead of s3 which i've probably watched 10+). in early s7, when don goes to see megan because she was stalking casting directors, the stewardess flirts with him, saying something like "well i'll say it again, i hate her" in response to don saying he's going to see his wife. in the back part of s7, when he's bendering pretty hard, it's the same stewardess that comes over late night to his apt and spills the red wine on the bedroom carpet, which basically remains there until he sells the joint. guess she finally got to nail him. good for her.
  2. so he just had the rope on him? and his car still was clean of any evidence? ok.
  3. don’t sleep on duck either. underrated role player.
  4. 4-5 stack up just fine against seasons 2-3. everytime we get a car, this place turns into a whorehouse.
  5. trump may have to resign after this.
  6. gotcha, yeah. you threw me because "the gypsy and the hobo" in that episode refers to bobby and sally's halloween costumes. santoro was in the hobo code from s1. and i agree with your character assessment.
  7. i'm pretty sure i have no idea what you're on about.
  8. last time i said that about a show i looked on youtube and there was a recap that was like 36 minutes long. i just didn't watch whatever show it was.
  9. the gypsy and the hobo. hamm should've won an emmy for that episode alone.
  10. another vote for unforgotten. 2 seasons in and it’s great.
  11. love me some cosgrove.
  12. shut up these are the same person.
  13. "the other woman" is a god damn masterpiece. is season 5 my favorite season?
  14. it actually isn't. i just watched it. i think it's next season (s6).
  15. so did peter sarsgaard go to the hair salon before filming and say, "give me the joker"? because if so, they nailed it.
  16. "i'm timing this for when we arrive. i want to hit the doorbell with my chin." i've used that before.
  17. shut the door, have a seat is magnificent television. a top 5 episode of any show. it forwarded the plot, had twists and turns, and some perfect scenes. the rest of the series doesn't work without flawless execution during that finale. but signal 30 is a work of art from start to finish. i have a similar issue with west wing when comparing "somebody's going to emergency, somebody's going to jail" and "20 hours in america".
  18. yeah, 300 richies would've come and gone under her.
  19. i love the megan era, but parts of the betty era (early and late) are a snoozefest for me. i think draper came out during the great run of alpha-male anti-heroes who were deeply flawed and got away with murder. draper, soprano, white, underwood, mackey, givens, horseman. carmy is ultra-talented, but has also been battered and abused by people and circumstances around him, which is why he's the way he is. whether the show gets him to rise above all that is anyone's call, but if he still can't dodge the fuck-you-yell-a-thons with richie, i'm not super hopeful he'll evolve in any satisfactory way.
  20. i feel like the show overvalues sydney's skills and any professional chef should be able to cook regular, everyday things and have them hit the spot. yes, it looked amazing, and no, i could not make it as well at home i'm sure. i just think sydney's character has cut the line - especially in light of what we've seen of carmy's journey to get where he is. and now they're basically partners/equals, even though she's been hesitant to sign her deal. and meanwhile other chefs are offering her jobs to run her own shit. no, i don't feel like she's earned that, as far as the series has shown us. and if you don't show us, we won't know it or believe it. if it's not on the page, it's not on the stage, and so forth. and i think that has added to her likability, or lack thereof.
  21. so there's a dish i can make for myself at home that proves how talented sydney is? i don't think you're making the point you think you're making.
