I am hoping for a little clarification of how the pecking order works on the farms. Luis moves between the farms relatively freely. I think he actually walked off of one last week. But Coy is beaten and presumably forbidden to leave. Is that because he's so into Isaac for dope?

While I feel the Kimara and Shae stuff isn't really connected yet, I appreciate the actors' work here until it becomes clear. What I'm concerned about is they are layering on yet another plotline next week (with Timothy Hutton). I hope this will clarify things, rather than convolute them.

For some reason, I didn't think they would still be setting the table for war. Boy, they fooled me. After a season of set-up and foot dragging, next season should be a non-stop rollercoaster of action!

If what was on display last night was the strategy level of Rick & Co. (set bombs on the perimeter, send in Tara with the offer/ultimatum, gather up the Oceansiders, and then have to fight the walkers their explosions have attracted), this war might be shorter than any of us expected.

The Hand are terrible villains. As I have said before, I pretty much understand why they will be used in the Defenders (endless bodies for our heroes to fight, the alleged coolness of ninjas), but in this series, their uselessness is clear. They have no clear goals in mind. They have little in the way of a compelling…

Jeez, take a class, dumbass! Learn the terms!

Michael Pena deserves better than this.

I was more saddened to see him out flogging Why Him? at the end of last year. At least, Power Rangers is making no pretense of being "good."

I hope that this episode is the beginning of a turnaround for Gustin and Barry. According to reports from the CW/DC panel at the Paley Center, Gustin seemed suitably chastened by all the dumb shit the writers have had him enact this season. We'll see.

I agree. I think his more immediate beef should be with Carlos Mencia, who Comedy Central obviously shoved into Chappelle's slot when he left, to everyone's detriment. And Mencia was joke-stealing nitwit, while Key & Peele were definitely talented writer/performers.

I didn't know she had another job. Good for her. Maybe on this show, they'll give her a character to act.

Well, just as likely we'll see Negan have her killed, after another epic (tedious) speech.

"Too much time is wasted on a middling Walking Dead."

I'm not ready to render judgment on any of the plotlines thus far. American Crime quite often veers away from the obvious prime time clichés, and traffics in ambiguity, things that I have a real appreciation for. When the concrete hardens, I'll have a better idea of how I feel about certain plots and characters (for…

I would recommend that anyone pick up Dark Horse's collection of Berni Wrightson's stories for the Warren horror magazines in the 70's. Great collection of his Poe adaptations, and Jennifer, his classic short story with Bruce Jones. And his peerless Swamp Thing stories with Len Wein. Damn. He will be missed.

I'm curious. Has this show got any better since last season? I hung on through last season, waiting for something, anything to happen. Would Liotta get caught for killing one of his detectives? Would the kinky FBI agent get exposed? Would JLo stop acting like a victim character in a telenovela?

Okay, thanks. So you're saying I've got at least one more weak episode to force my way through. I'm one of those completists, so I'll finish anyway, but I'm glad to hear it gets better.

I've watched two episodes, and right now my main beef is with the time-wasting contrivances. For example, I don't care if Danny hasn't been to NYC since he was 10, he should know that no corporation is going to acknowledge his claim without proof of his identity. His first stop should have been to a lawyer.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Vigilante is the one who actually rescues Oliver. To kill him for his "crimes."

Hasn't Katrina Law been cast on some show I don't watch?
