Yeah, I don't know about the conflict stuff, the cancellation felt more like a result of crappy marketing.
Another great episode, though I did miss Tanisha. And oh, Randy. Why are you so persuasive! Be less like fires and feral animals.

That's the thing, it seemed very much like they only went that way to get a reaction. If it hadn't been the season finale, I very much doubt that would have happened.

Great except the last 20 seconds. Turned a good ep in a good season into something horrendous.

I KNEW HER HAIR WAS TOO CURLY.

Yeah, I watched enough movie reruns on TBS and TNT as a kid to guess which one it had to be but was surprised at the writer not knowing Slater at all.

There's going to be some kind of Malcolm-Vanessa showdown at the end, you think? Honestly, I said last night that I barely felt the absence of the other characters, these two are so strong, and that hasn't changed after a night sleeping on it. It's almost a pity they decided to go for some kind of LXG thing instead of…

I don't know, that eye contact at the end made it seem very much like Vanessa had Mina in her thoughts. Either she wanted to break them up for whatever reason (jealous that Mina got to go on her adventure before Vanessa or simply wanting Mina for herself) or she wanted to hurt her for some reason.

That was a pretty great episode. I laughed out loud at Tanisha coming in with the pimp-mermaid coat.

I absolutely did not miss the other characters in this ep. It was so intense, and yes, it helped that it was Eva Green, but Vanessa is already such an intriguing character, and we finally get the explanation of why Mina was so central.
And Anna Chancellor! Was great. And Timothy Dalton may as well be a demon, he's…

Yeah, it wasn't until afterward that I realized Rogers and his whole subplot weren't even in this episode, so you'd have to imagine that he'll pop up next episode while Ben is returning to Setauket. I kind of wish now that either he'd been in a much bigger role, with Abe helping Ben as Rogers stomped around Setauket…

I think even back then they had some form of birth control, whether it was herbs or something even more primitive. Or Anna could simply be infertile. And that would be a pretty lame move, I'd have to say.

About Turn Season 1, Episode 9: Against Thy Neighbor
So I was actually intrigued by that ep. Not the strongest buildup to the season (series?) finale, but intrigue, playacting for a cause, some self-sacrifice, even the unexpected shooting of Papa Woodhull, and now the army is coming to Setauket.

Considering how much I like Lee Pace, I was surprised how apathetic I was to Joe. Cameron is definitely going to be the most interesting, but I thought Scoot's wife was maybe the only other character who rose above the cliched nagging wife stereotype.

I feel I might have easily disliked the seance scene except for Eva Green and the characters she was channeling. Kumagoro wrote out the transcript above and there's enough revelations, mystery, and tragedy to make it interesting.

I had a lot of sympathy for Wheaton, having only learned of him as the kid who was unfairly hated by the world, and I was determined to make up for it. But he's slowly just fizzled away that goodwill by being kind of genuinely annoying.

Caliban can't replace Proteus in my heart!
I probably would have tolerated it easier had it not gone on so long with actual flashbacks.

I think the review got it spot on, with this ep spending what seemed like too much time on the one character we didn't actually want to know more about. Would not have minded more of Dorian Gray, especially if that'd led to revealing more about the seance last week.

Turn: where two people who actually existed and who did a great deal for the Revolution and were never romantically connected…boned.

About Turn Season 1, Episode 8: Challenge
So those who wanted some Heather Lind in less clothing should be full satisfied.

Pretty much. His commitment to the Revolution stemmed from his hatred of Simcoe and basically feeling powerless as his life crumbles around him?
When the first ep aired, I went to look up the actual story of the Culpeper Ring and it sounded so interesting. I'm not sure why the need to make Abe and Anna cheaters or the…
