  1. agree with the last sentence. i don’t think that was carmy’s takeaway and doubt he felt as good afterwards as he should’ve. that relationship is beyond closure for him.
  2. there were some great moments/eps this season, but it feels like the 10 episodes had 10 different writers and they all wrote at the same time. i don't need a super linear story, but the season-long questions pretty much all went unanswered through the finale. even carmen's internal shit that he doesn't let anyone else know about (the mchale stuff) didn't really get resolved the way it could've, because of who he is and how he is.
  3. 213 just like my area code.
  4. lol "that's my car".
  5. on my many viewings i've noticed a few things about their alcoholism schedules. they drink liquor all day at the office. then you went and drank liquor (maybe a beer for the poors) at bars and restaurants. restaurants were big for the boozy 3 hour dinners, multiple martinis. lunches too. but when they went home, sure, maybe they had a drink, but don didn't even have a bar. he kept his whiskey in an upper kitchen cabinet. even when they were pitching ideas to heineken (when betty lost her shit), they discussed how "more people were entertaining and actually drinking at home now" as if it was never really a thing before, because i don't know, maybe it wasn't? it was like they partied all day: work-> lunch -> work -> client dinner, then went home to pass the fuck out.
  6. lol she’s kinsey’s secretary who has to wake him up the morning after “he didn’t write it down”. perfect.
  7. so i'm on my way through for like the 12th time, and i want to take a moment to appreciate lois. she's stuck on the switchboard, which she hates. then peggy gets promoted off don's desk, so lois gets off of the switchboard. then don goes to the movies instead of attending a meeting, but she doesn't know what to say when peggy asks where he is. she tells him that she covered for him, he tells her that she is not suited for this job. she goes back on the switchboard. then, right before the merger, the crew senses something is going on, so they go grab lois out and ask what she has heard. she says she's not allowed to talk about what she hears in there, but then goes ahead and tells them every detail of the ppl merger anyway, and makes them promise to get her out of there. they tell her of course. i don't know if she ever made it back onto a desk, but the next thing you know, she's running over a guy's foot with a fucking tractor. yet somehow she didn't get fired, because she appears in another episode later in s3. here's to you, lois. enjoy the switchboard forever.
  8. the lambo is 800k. take an interest.
  9. i had my birthday party there in like 2003.
  10. i don't love musician biopics but rocket man was very good and very well done. wasn't nearly the cookie-cutter drivel that most of them are. was more like a rock opera. if you decide to watch one of the 2, watch that one. i'm with you on lotr (saw each once, would pay to not have to see another minute of that franchise or the hobbit). pirates i thought the first one was great but the 1-2 others i saw were trash.
  11. two posts in a row that have never seen casablanca? get it together, people.
  12. passes isn't new, and was basically just onlyfans. now it's onlyfans and livvy dunne and longhorn athletes. seems like an odd fit, but what do i know?
  13. scarcity used to help those keep their value, but that seems to be going away this season.
  14. you're putting forward a scenario where most resources are put towards having a great football team, but then we'll end up with an underachieving basketball team and a middling baseball team? you must have an active imagination.
  15. or gamblers are going to take advantage of their shitty pay and get them to fix prop bets.
  16. evan carter getting passed around like a tijuana prostitute.
  17. good news is it's only 138 minutes. though some people say bad movies aren't longer, they just feel longer.
  18. 30+ posts and no mention of tootsie? rip dabney.
  19. first ever scripted comedy series? wasn't "the shrink next door" a comedy series? i'm honestly asking, i didn't watch it.
  20. ok, last night i found a 3rd. there's a ww episode in late s4 i think, where there were a group of about-to-be-us-citizens who needed to be moved to an auditorium to get sworn in or whatever, and bartlet goes to say hello. the judge who is doing the swearing in is also hank, the security guard from the office. there may be more, but they are deep cuts.
