I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Not javachik

Does Kira on Orphan Black have special powers, or is she just very observant? What is up with Siobhan? ...that is going to be interesting to see unspool. Kira's father sure is nice to look at. Really enjoying this show.

Because books.

Orphan Black is discussed in Boxed Set, Java cat.

...I'm sad to see Don and Joan at loggerheads.

Though this new setup gives her the million she lost before so, maybe Roger saved the day.

The million and more. Her 5% is worth 5 million, 1.25 million of it up front on signing. Also even though she was pissed enough to vote with against Don, remember her comment afterwards "you shouldn't have done that". And in the end, she voted for her getting a truckload of money. And yeah, this time Rodger was the knight is somewhat tarnished armor who saved the day. Don sold the swing vote, but Rodger put together the deal. Don was the troublesome, but occasionally useful sidekick whose ass Rodger saved in the course of winning the larger battle. I'm glad that for once Rodger rather than Don got to be the key figure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just like imagining that people have been saying to Matt Weiner for seven years that if you get Robert Morse, you have to give him a song and dance number, and all of a sudden, Weiner realizes he's almost blown it.

I mean: [link]

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Love reading this from Robert Morse on filming his soft shoe number with Jon Hamm:

When we filmed it I had to sing to him, obviously. He stood there for seven hours while we did the song over and over again. He was so helpful. He’d put his finger up and go, “Great. That was a great take. You’re doing so well.” He was so enthusiastic. Lovely, lovely man. I cannot tell you how it helped that Jon Hamm was there when I sang the song. Many people in shows that are stars might not have shown up for that. They would have sent an extra. He was there for me. He was there for the show. He was there for himself.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Huh, that's true, Don's never in the same shot, so he wouldn't be required to be there. Aw, Jon Hamm.

No, it's just worth $1.25 million. That is literally what Don said. She gets it over 5 years.

And of course you can find out how much everyone makes in 2014 dollars.

Y'all. Fargo. It's really good.

Maybe I misheard, but I would swear he said 5% us worth five million dollars, a quarter of it up front. I'll replay tonight. Not a big surprise if I misheard.
