Masters of Sex S02E08 "Mirror, Mirror"

I like that everyone's fashion has evolved with the times except for Bill's.

I love this consultancy position Betty has taken on.

Masters of Sex S02E07 "Asterion"

Lester sure got hardened in Hollywood.

Betty's yellow dress is amaaaazing.

Lots of time elapsing quickly in this episode. A new baby already?

Bill continues the proud male tradition of refusing to take money offered to help him and his family.

"I provide the roof!" Whoa. Libby is great in this scene, too.

Nice to see Libby and Ginny bonding in the ladies' room.

Wow. That was even worse than not apologizing, Bill.

It's a little contrived that Ginny left Bill impotent.

I love Betty the CPA!

And now we're in the 60s.

"You have more of me than you even realize."

More male hypocrisy - Austin decides he actually *doesn't* want his girlfriend naked on film.

Yay! Betsy Brandt is back! Well, just for the one scene. It's a little convenient that she has a rare sexual abnormality, but whatevs.

Lovely ending scene, though I couldn't quite tell whose birthday it was.

Masters of Sex S02E06 "Blackbird"

Another especially fine episode.

I love the culmination of Virginia and Lilian's relationship. It was special and beautiful. (Even if Ginny did kind of pull a Walter White letting Jane die. (JK. Totally different.)). It's one of the best female friendships I've seen on TV outside of the Golden Girls. I hope Julianne Nicholson gets some award nominations for this season.

I like the storyline with Betty and her husband. My heart breaks for both Betty and for Gene.

But I miss Beau Bridges and Allison Janney, too.

I don't like where they've taken Libby. Hopefully now that she's fired Coral her obsession will end and she can go back to being a sympathetic character. It seems like the writers intentionally made her less sympathetic for the course of Bill's affair with Ginny (which looks to be over?) so that we could still root for Ginny. Why can't they both be sympathetic characters?

Courtney B. Vance is great.

I like that the show didn't let on that Virginia had a boyfriend so that the audience finds out at the same time as Bill.

The X-Files S07E08 "The Amazing Maleeni"

I love this episode. It reminds me very much of S2's "Humbug," or something else Darin Morgan would write.

"The hand may be quicker than the eye, but it still leaves fingerprints." I love you Dana Scully.

The heckler is pretty cute, though.

Law & Order S01E03 "The Reaper's Helper"

"He was king of the prom" You mean Prom King?

In the early days witnesses stop what they're doing to talk to the cops.

Law & Order S01E02 "Subterranean Homeboy Blues"

That opening scene was a lot more involved than many are in later seasons.

And they show the name of the episode.

I didn't know (before I watched E1) that Cragen started off in Homicide.

I like this public defender Ms. Green.

Wait, is that Cynthia Nixon? It totally is!!

So she's saying it wasn't racism, but...misandry?

Wait, so her perception of them as a threat only matter if it was an accurate?

Homicide: LIfe on the Street 308 "All Through the House"

Why bother putting up a Christmas tree ON Christmas Eve?

Hahaha, they're playing Christmas music in the morgue.

And this lady has her servants trimming her tree on Christmas Eve? I'm no expert, but isn't that a bit late?

Munch at the batting range is awesome. (Is that what it's called? A batting range?)

Aw, I'm glad the kid's dad is alive.

Where is rich lady mother getting dressed up to go?

How are they playing hearts with 5 people?
