Mad Men, "My Old Kentucky Home"

Hiding at the bar
He's still the boy who parked cars
He doesn't fit in

Battlestar Galactica, Season 1

"Miniseries"
He made it all up
But he gave them what they need
Something to live for

"33"
They are relentless
They keep coming after us
Forcing tough choices

"Water"
At war with herself
She doesn't know what she is:
A sleeper agent

"Bastille Day"
Lee meets Tom Zarek
And promises elections
Upholding the law

"Act of Contrition"
Training new pilots
Brings back painful memories
And guilt about Zak

"You Can't Go Home Again"
Their last link to Zak
They can't just leave her behind
Kara's family

"Litmus"
Cat's out of the bag
The Cylons look like us now
Time for a witch hunt

"Six Degrees of Separation"
Exonerated
Gauis can resume his work
All part of the plan

"Flesh and Bone"
Mixing lies with truth
Leoben gets in their heads,
Goes out the airlock

"Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down"
Nothing but trouble
Saul's wife suddenly appears
Raising suspicion

"The Hand of God"
Rolling the hard six
Kara's risky plan pays off
Thanks to Lee's flying

"Colonial Day"
Politics is war
Meet the new vice president:
The devil you know

"Kobol's Last Gleaming"
Kara's going home
Seeking Apollo's Arrow
And a way to Earth

Laura's in the brig
One Sharon shoots the Old Man
The other's pregnant

The Wire, Season 1

"The Target"
Jimmy McNulty
Will pay a price for caring
When it's not his turn

"The Detail"
A company man
Daniels knows the game is rigged
But he has to play

"The Buys"
The package won't change
They do worse and get paid more
This is forever

Thirteen years, four months
Stuck in the Pawn Shop Unit
Writing index cards

"The Pager"
Making progress now
Even Prez isn't useless
He can crack the code

"The Wire"
Brandon's brutal death
Creates unlikely allies
While it haunts Wallace

"One Arrest"
They know something's up
Stringer and Avon are smart
They tear out the phones

"Lessons"
Jimmy's a great dad
His kids play front-and-follow
And get Stringer's plates

"Game Day"
A scavenger hunt
Futile to follow the drugs
Follow the money

"The Cost"
A pointless buy-bust
Puts Kima undercover
And it gets her shot

"The Hunt"
Sending a message
Putting drugs on the table
Just a photo op

"Cleaning Up"
He thought he was home
He thought they were family
And then they killed him

Dee and his uncle
Are both going to prison
But the game goes on

Mad Men is back!

"Out of Town"
Out of town again
Somewhere he's already been
Same old temptations

"Meditations in an Emergency"
The end of the world
We could be gone tomorrow
Unburden yourself

"The Mountain King"
He's watched his own life
Trying to scratch his way in
Maybe he can change
