I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe I actually have an alternate personality who lives in the mirror who doesn't kill people but is just really, really angry at her TV. Or maybe all the screaming at the TV served to make me very attached to the object of frustration.
Whatever it is, I'm going to be really sad if the rumors about Studio 60 being canceled are true.
Tom's arrested! In Nevada! The pot belongs to Simon! Cut the sketch! Don't cut the sketch! Play the viola! Jesus Christ!
Wonderful episode, filled with great (and hilarious) character moments (and, probably not coincidentally, very little of the actual show-within-a-show). A fun flashback-y story structure, which also serves to get them out of LA. And Jack has vaulted from my favorite peripheral character to my flat-out favorite character on the show with "She doesn't raise her voice."
You're probably thinking I'll change my tune the second they try to teach me another lesson or have another storyline about Matt and his integrity. Fair enough. I've admitted I was wrong, but I could be wrong about being wrong. Let's just take this one episode at a time, for now.
So, question, though: what exactly could be a "good" reason to be driving through Nevada at 120 mph? It must be "good" in the show's universe, which means not just important to Tom, but "important." And he's embarrassed about it, or too full of integrity to trade the info for possible leniency — so, what, then? Tom doesn't have a pregnant wife, as far as we know. A sick relative? But we had Tom's relatives on last week's crapfest. What else could it be?
