Featured review
Stunning episode (Princess...irony)
You guys have outdone yourselves. This season has been one knockout after the next. "The Testirostial", with Borstein just crushing as an aging, bitter Suzy who's completed destroyed by show biz in an old school way was one thing but this one...oh my god. I mean they are all feminist, but this one could be titled, "This One's for the Girls". Bringing a vacuum to alumni weekend! Tearing Suzy a new one at the train station for not jumping over more dicks for her than her male counterpart. Ms. Ford telling Midge to "take the credit, that's what the boys do!" and then later as she demands that Gordon do her bidding she punctuates it while putting on lipstick! I. frickin'. Love. Me. Some Nina Arianda. She's a straight up assassin! The message in a bottle..."Don't"...exactly. Don't do anything you were planning to do as a 20 year old. You don't know your ass from a hole in the wall. Especially if you've been indoctrinated at an all girls school in the 60's. The "Knights of the Round Table" - icing on the cake. Beautiful lamentation from the elder statesman about piles of stuff rather than the woman who made him whole. Last but not least the one and only Shalhoub (I'd say he's a National treasure but he's clearly not even from this planet) his acknowledgement that he'd backed the wrong horse is the whole series in a nutshell. Well in Palladinos, well in.
