But on numerous occasions during its second season, it comes close to turning into a musical. The dialogue by series creator and frequent writer-director Amy Sherman-Palladino, which has always bopped, bounces back and forth to even quicker rhythms this time around. In one episode, a sequence in which couples dance alongside the Seine in Paris creates a meticulous tableau that wouldn’t look out of place on a Broadway stage.

Breaking Bad’s Marie, in a startling lack of purple. As Breaking Bad fans continue to parse Sunday’s mid-season finale, extracting anything that smacks of foreshadowing, one particular detail has emerged as a talking point. In the words of a widely reblogged Tumblr post: “The most shocking thing about last night’s Breaking Bad finale was Marie’s yellow shirt.” As sure as baby Holly is always dressed in pink, Walt’s sister-in-law is forever wearing purple.

Angel Blue, Walter Russell III, Latonia Moore, and Will Liverman in the Metropolitan Opera’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones. A young Black man rages by the side of the road, aims a pistol, and bellows a gangster line: “Prepare to die, motherfucker.” Fire Shut Up in My Bones, which relaunched the Metropolitan Opera on Monday, opens in a blaze of fury, the orchestra seething with such force that it threatens to overpower the story before it even begins.

If you were to list the most relentlessly optimistic and resilient characters in television history, The Middle’s Sue Heck might be close to standing on her own podium at this point. Throughout the ABC sitcom’s nine-season run — which will come to its conclusion next year — Eden Sher’s portrayal of the part-zany, part-naïve middle Heck child has been the clear highlight of the series, with her constant I can do this, gosh darn it!

Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly are beefing and it’s time to grab the flavorless popcorn.

Their baby seemed not to look like the product of a white woman and a light-skinned Pakistani man, but rather, as many people pointed out on social media, black — another visible fumble for the show, which has struggled with race in the past.
