Louie just had Rangers-Bruins Playoff tickets as a plot device tonight. That's bad Juju, eh?

Wow! Great season finale of the Blacklist.

I'll even overlook a huge gap in FBI protocol.

I'm torn on louie. I honestly can't tell if its tackling real life issues with an honest approach or just poorly constructed soapboxing.

I thought the Fat Chick monologue was exceptional. The whole second episode wiped away everything great about the first one though.

That was Ryan Dunn or Paul Walker.

isn't that what makes them the worst FBI agents ever?

she's so sophisticated. More Kubrick stuff with the computer reading Lou an Jims lips. Don seems to have his swagger back, how do you think this ends this season?

Those are exactly the two moments I was thinking of. Horrible. But the overall show and Spader continue to pull the weight.

Just watched the latest episode of Turn. This is the first one where I really felt like things were coming together. I thought the writing was much better and just now that the characters are somewhat established, they are now focusing on the actual spy ring. Good stuff.

Having seen the trailer for Gracepoint, it tracks Broadchurch so much I'm not sure we'll watch it. But might give it just enough shot to see how David Tennant pulls of the Americanization of his role.

Good old Don surely is back, it remains to be seen whether his prolonged depression left him a somewhat changed man. But I don't see much of a future in the company, the way it is run now, for Don or Stan or Ginsberg, the creative minds.

Does anyone like Megan better after that episode?

I'm not really sure what Don is trying to save at SC&P at this point. Working there has to kind of suck. I guess it fits with the theme of trying to recover a past that is irretrievably slipping away for no other reason than not knowing how to grow into something else. I think Don should move to LA with Megan and become a TV/movie writer.

I'm not sure he's trying to save them as much as himself, I think at this point he probably wants bought out and them getting marlboro will give them the flexibility to do that (if it causes them to keep him and bump him up, it doesn't hurt either). In the near future, aren't cigarette ads banned? That will be funny if they get Philip morris and then the ban goes through and they ended up buying him out....

I don't know. It seems like he could have forced a buyout when they suspended him instead of forcing his way back in.

That's a good point about the coming ban on cigarette ads. The reviews I've read have also pointed out that Burger Chef was a successful restaurant chain that went under, and we know the car that they're working on for Chevy will be a lemon. They could be setting it up so that all of these accounts crash at once and sink the company (or at least the old guard at the company...there might still be Harry and his computer).

Yes, it's pretty much the daily show with swearing and nudity (this past week). I think it's hilarious and wish it was on every night.

Yikes. I'd suffer the aging original actors over the attempted copy.
