Indeed. I think if Spike Lee didn't discover him he at least showcased him early on enough so that he's been working steadily (if under the radar) ever since, and we owe him a big thanks.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Oh, he is one of the great unsung actors whose talent seems to slip by mostly unnoticed.
Amen. He is an amazing actor.

Juiia Ormond is playing Meghan's mother?!?!?!? I totally missed that before.
In other Mad Men finale news, loved Don and Peggy meeting up in the theater by accident.
I did think the dogs-fucking-right-outside-her-window was a cheap shot at signifying "Peggy's in Virginia". I'm sure that shit went down in the area she grew up in too. Or with rats.

I don't think it was so much "this is what Virginia's like" as "this is the view Peggy gets at this stage in her career" in contrast to Pete getting the same view as Don. And really, she was still pretty pleased with where she was. As she should be.
Pete getting punched in the face, still a good time by me.

AMC is re-airing Breaking Bad at odd times starting tonight. I've got the DVR catching them all - I suspect seeing the first season will be a very different experience knowing what's happened since.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That was a depressing finale. I mean, everyone in it was depressed, so there's that, but ugh.

Oh yes. Yet another reason to miss Lane. *sniff*

That is not how I saw it at all. There were a lot of upward trajectories there. Or, perhaps more accurately, a lot of people perched on the edge of change, with unknown outcomes. Exhilerating.
Will Roger fully Tune In, Turn On, and Drop Out? I kind of hope so.

Yeah, interesting. On second thought, of course there were both. I just felt so sad for Pete and Rory Gilmore, especially.

Oh hell yes.

That was sad, at the hospital. I should probably feel worse about Rory, her life will likely continue to suck.
