I read this week on tumblr (I think) how cats are as clingy as dogs, but are better at disguising it, they pull a good act at pretending it's just an amusing coincidence they're in the same room as you, like, 90% of time.

There was also a CGI (erect) wang at the start of Ishtar's sequence.

Divine?

Was Chuck afraid Ernesto would hear the tape? Nah, that was orchestrated and acted from the beginning. Chuck even left the tape at the exact point JImmy admits tampering with HHM files so that would be the part Ernesto would hear. He was pratically gleaning with satisfaction after Ernesto left. He's probably banking

Late watcher here, just finishing season 1, but isn't it more-or-less clear that the Heisenber device is Germany's version of Fatboy, which they used to raze D.C. and win the World War, and which the Japanese have been unable to replicate in the twenety-ish years since? I thought the show made a reasonable job laying

… Am I the only one thinking Lowell (or Lowell's last meal, I guess) must be nuts to dump Zayn? And keeping Harry? Urgh.

Wow, do I *hate* this victim-becomes-victimizer conclusion. For the last seven years - or, arguably, for the five or six years preceding this last one or this last couple of years - we saw Alicia struggling to get herself out of the role cast for her by her life, specially by her political marriage. It was a bumpy

yep. She REALLY knew how to seize the moment and instantly work the exposure the show gave her, better than any contestant so far.

Man, this episode made me realize how badly I miss Tennant as the Doctor. Great as Smith is (and he's great, no doubt there), Ten had a gravity, a somberness around him that Eleven doesn't. Eleven can be angry and terrifying, but I miss that calm sadness, that sense of duty and loss Tennant always brought under his

You know why they call him "Iron Fist", don't you?

In The Good Wife (the CBS law procedure), there's a show within-a-show Alicia Florrick (TGW's protagonist) sometimes watches with her daughter called "Darkness at Noon"; it's a parody of dark, philosophicalyl-inclined cop shows, where cops are throwing around seemingly deep spiritual sentences for no reason

My thoughts exactly. It's not only the character's motivations that are off, but also the (lack of) facial expressions, the stiffness of the dialogue etc. The book's Gentleman is "evil" because he can't entertain the thought any Christian could be less than awed by his favours, while the series' one is too devil-ish

SPOILER

There's a line in the book that puts it perfectly, when he, still in Hurtfew, asks Childermass to procure a house in London - "'You must get me a house, Childermass', he said. 'Get me a house that says to those that visit it that magic is a respectable profession - no less than Law and a great deal more so than

I'm not sure I'm liking the portrayal of the Gentleman in the series so far; while here he is definitely devilish, cold and manipulative, and seems to do things for no reason other than, I don't know, evil?, in the books he's equally malicious, but also extremely self-centered and childlike. While in the series so far

He was actually pettier, but he was less cold-blooded overall.

I think that if the Wachowskis and JMS want to go for a second season, their names carry enough weight that Netflix is going to give a go; if not, someone's surely gonna pick it up (Amazon, Yahoo?).

The episode is a torture procedural, with the post-credits acting as a behind-the-scenes moment. There ain't a single scene in this episode which isn't a torture scene.

Suffice to say Napoleon ate a fine goose dinner that evening.

Segundus is way cuter than I imagined him reading the book :P
