Yeah. Like I said below, I can understand not wanting to make them seem magical, but leather moccasins just don't make that much noise—especially when you have trained hunters using them to travel familiar ground.
Yes, completely. I understand wanting to avoid Magical Injun Syndrome, but there's a reason the Sioux were caricatured into near-supernatural trackers: They were fucking good at it.
He placed her hand on the map case before he died but couldn't speak to ask.
I think you have to try pretty hard to draw a coherent, singular message about gun control from this series.
Almost certainly.
I think it's…uh…Blonde?
Yeah, I think part of the reason I'm not as negative about this show as everyone else around here seems to be is that after The Walking Dead, I'm just happy to watch a show where people aren't fucking bitchy idiots. Kind of like warming up with a weighted bat when you're on deck—except for TV expectations.
Master trackers, using carrion birds to find bodies…
Exactly the same for me. It was otherwise an at-least OK episode, and I think it really says something that it was Andrea that tanked an episode that featured Merle.
PARTICIPLE'D!
Christ, Andrea.
Eh, Nick's basically just a cipher at this point, so I'm willing to be a little more forgiving. This is a coming-of-age type story, which means it's the main character doing the bulk of the progression, so the supporting characters need to be more immediately interesting than the protagonist. Later, once the audience…
For what it's worth: They don't ignore the effect Marie's death had on Nick. Nick acts completely unprofessionally and hostile to Adalind in pretty much every scene they have together, like he wants to leap up and murder her the first chance he gets (which he probably does).
One thing I like about this show (I should say: One of the few things that's kept me mildly interested enough to keep watching…for now) is that they seem to be building evidence against exactly that behavior. Not only does Eddie openly take issue with Nick's racism(?) with lines like "We're not things!" and "Don't you…
Agreed.
One problem with having two incredibly talented performers who are also ridiculously beautiful is that respect for their talent can too often be mistaken for (or undermined with, or eclipsed by) admiration for their beauty. Not that those two qualities are mutually exclusive, but they certainly tend to be perceived…
I don't know about Shirley; I think the whole point was that they're both hypocrites with likable qualities and both see themselves as fighting the good fight.
Jeff does basically nothing but miss targets, which is what makes him great. The destruction of the Aloof Bad Boy archetype might be my favorite part of the character.
I think that's a fair call. I really liked that everyone singing Seal at the end harkened back to Remedial Chaos Theory, but I'll grant that it didn't have the same emotional payoff as either that episode or Mixology (which might be my favorite Community episode of all time).
