Money Shot
It didn't resonate with everyone, but I am very passionate about this episode. In fact, I'm in love with this episode.
My heart --> kaboom. I have always loved the exquisite balance of pathos and humor on this show and Money is the seminal example for the entire television industry. Paul Lieberstein, please let's have sex and have brilliant babies together? And why aren't there DANGLING FEET ICONS made yet, dammit!?
I had a whole season-to-date meta essay outlined, centered on characters & themes rather than each episode separately, but since my brain and my heart both went explodey last night, I have to do some retooling. I expect to get it up late this weekend. (Mom's visiting until Sunday noon-ish; As You Like It at the Folger Shakespeare Library is on the agenda!).
I think I need to add new tag: Lieberstein owns me.
