next_to_normal* Matthew Weiner talks about the Mad Men season premiere.
* How The Americans uses interpersonal conflict to tackle global politics and plotlines.
* Ten things you need to know about Syfy's new drama, Defiance, which stars Julie Benz and was created by Rockne S. O'Bannon (aka the creator of two of my favorite sci-fi shows, seaQuest DSV and Farscape).
* Is Doctor Who too sexy and complicated now? While I giggled at the handwringing over the Doctor's snogging (gasp! horrors!), I would not say no to a companion who wasn't a young, attractive female.
* If the Saul spin-off happens, it's likely to be a comedy. I think that's actually better, because f they're going to do this, I'd rather have enough distance from Breaking Bad that it feels like its own show and not just a lame attempt to keep the BB audience watching AMC. Related: do spin-offs that elevate minor characters work, or is it too much of a good thing?
* Natalie Dormer will be playing Irene Adler (in flashbacks, apparently) on Elementary. I still haven't made it past the first episode, but that's A+ casting right there.
* Aubrey Plaza has the most awkward interview on Ellen, and yet it somehow manages to be completely adorable.
* Ever wondered how they made all the dinosaur noises in Jurassic Park? Lots of animals having sex, apparently.
