Girly Throw Downs Things I Didn't Know Until This Morning The day I learned how to look at my internet history is one of the saddest of my life.

Girls Girls. Girls Season 1 finale Episode 10 recap Girls became a thing. Do you know how hard this was to achieve? We talked about the hype, the backlash, the anointed-ness, and sure, I was part of the chorus. “This is not a thing”, I cried, “And don't say it By Duana • Jun 18, 2012 02:59 pm
Maple Leaf Seeking friends and family. There's a light “black market” trade on pilot scripts during the early months of the year. As scripts are written and as they hope to get it to pilot and, later, a series order, the scripts get passed around, openly but unofficially, and everyone, including people who have By Duana • Jun 15, 2012 02:29 pm
Girls Because they can? Girls Season 1 Episode 9 recap Oh Girls, why you gotta go do this? Why you gotta make a liar out of me in the good way and the bad way? The show is unquestionably getting better. Nobody could argue that the more we get to know the girls, the By Duana • Jun 12, 2012 12:54 pm
Mad Men One Question Answered Mad Men Season 5 finale episode 13 recap I really wondered why they had cast Alexis Bledel as the object of Pete's misplaced affection. She's the right age, of course, and has that slightly other-era look, but I'm so used to Mad Men actors By Duana • Jun 11, 2012 12:42 pm
Girls On at least three hands Girls Season 1 Episode 8 recap Once upon a time, I was on my second date with the man I'm now about to marry. We were walking to dinner, and a crazy lady was up ahead.

Mad Men Lane was always “you” Mad Men Season 5 Episode 12 recap There's only so long I can procrastinate before bellying up to the truth - I don't want to write this Mad Men recap, because there's little joy to be found, and because the show said almost everything By Duana • Jun 04, 2012 01:18 pm
Game of Thrones Satisfied - Not Overwhelmed. Game Of Thrones Season 2 Episode 10 recap I've always been open about the fact that I'm greedy where TV is concerned - the more episodes the better.

Paul Rudd You Needed His Opinion? I've heard stories about some people in this industry, and I've told a few myself. Some ridiculous, and some just eyeroll-y, and a few really sweet.

Girls Let's Hear It For The Girl Girls Season 1 Ep 7 recap We're back in New York - Bushwick, to be exact - in one of the strongest episodes of the season.

Mad Men Some people never have to make those choices Mad Men Season 5 Episode 11 recap I am slightly shy to say "I told you so" (which is about to be a meta-statment) but I have always maintained that Mad Men is about the women.

Game of Thrones "There are brave men out there - let's go kill them" Game Of Thrones Season 2 Episode 9 recap First - I mess around on the violin, though I rarely have time for real lessons.

Girls Getting There Girls Season 1 Episode 6 The Girls first season will be 10 episodes. That's a small order. It's not so unusual with cable, some shows get as few as 6 episodes, but it's small. You barely get to know your characters, it takes time By Duana • May 22, 2012 01:23 pm
Mad Men Welcome Back Kinsey Mad Men Season 5 Episode 10 recap At our house the boy has an oft-repeated phrase employed during Mad Men.

Game of Thrones We Know Where She Gets It Game Of Thrones Season 2 Episode 8 recap (Lainey: I’ve not watched this episode and won’t be able to until I get home next week.
