The Newsroom I Wish I Had Better News The Newsroom Season 1 Episode 4 “The fourth episode!” some Newsroom fans cried, as proof that the show is really going somewhere despite acknowledged flaws in the beginning. “The fourth episode” critics snorted, pointing out that if you thought the show was unbelievable now, wait ‘til you caught up.

Kate Upton Kate Upton. That Fatty. I guess this is the end of the world. Right? We are there.

The Newsroom High highs, excruciating lows The Newsroom Season 1 Episode 3 recap I like high-low fashion, that whole concept of a skirt you spent way too much on paired with a Forever 21 tee and shoes you would never tell anyone were by Jessica Simpson. It makes me feel like I’m getting away with By Duana • Jul 09, 2012 12:20 pm
The Newsroom “I don’t know why I’m being so mean to you.” REALLY? The Newsroom Season 1 Episode 2 recap I shouldn’t really have a problem with The Newsroom.

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. Not because of what I looked at, per se, (although some days...) but because there's that tab for “Today”. You can see all the stuff you looked at JUST By Duana • Jun 19, 2012 03:13 pm
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.

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. This is the nature of the beast, we talk constantly about the bold-face names we write about all the time, By Duana • Jun 01, 2012 01:08 pm
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.
