I remember that line! And a couple of others, where she'd call out Caputo or whoever for something terrible. It was moments like that, just as with Healy's occasional kindness, that would make me hope that their good sides would win out more often.

I think there have been moments even in the first season where Fig has shown moments of not being evil incarnate, and I think she may have just reached a point now, where, even if it wasn't there originally, she's feeling some guilt about the stealing and maybe hoping this is a way to handle that.

Gloria's flashback was actually one of my favorites, maybe partly because of her relative/friend, who just completely won my heart with her hatred of the abusive boyfriend and attempts to get Gloria away from him, instead of in any way trying to excuse him. That sob at the end when Gloria was being taken away and she

Yeah, the Proteus->Caliban trade hasn't seemed at all worth it, but I spent all of Proteus's episode terrified that either he'd freak out or that somebody would freak out and attack him, so I'm not sure I'd have wanted to see his journey into the douchebag that Caliban is.

I always think of just one of them as Tatiana Maslany and then find myself thinking things like, oh, Delphine with the Rachel actress is so awkw—d'oh!

I kind of hoped Caliban would turn up again and be all, oh, so who's Victor playing with now, only to cross either Ethan or Vanessa, who look like they could handle his pasty immortal ass with ease. Either that, or Caliban and Vanessa's demon would get into an intense, erudite discussion while discussing their

Just finished The Last Ship's first ep… So that Rhona Mitra's really
pretty, huh. Otherwise, a Braugher-less (CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES THIS IS MY) Last Resort doesn't seem too interesting so far.

God, I'm going to be sad when this is over. No more Tatiana on Saturday and Eva on Sunday.

Yeah, but there's a world of difference between the straight man balance between Randy and Derrick who sometimes teaches a lesson and sometimes needs one and that helpless "I just feel so guilty."

What world am I living in when Geoff Stults can make me cry??

Rectify season premiere, watched enough of Crossbones to drop it, Orphan Black finale, WC games (Germany vs Ghana…is it treasonous to hope those two advance and not USA and Portugal?), gonna catch Penny Dreadful and Enlisted tonight.

I don't feel like they lost any momentum with the intercut scenes of Sarah at Dyad at the beginning because the previews very clearly admitted she was going to surrender and it wasn't even like it was some leaked scene (though that did happen too), but a very clearly released ad.
I'm glad there wasn't any lengthy

I don't know, I guess I came in with expectations too high (which is weird, since I didn't know what it was about when it started), but it seemed like a potentially really interesting premise, something they could do whatever with, pure fantasy. It just had too many cliches, though, again and again, every character

Yeah, it feels weirdly disjointed, in how it's trying to be both an epic drama with these big storylines (most specifically Irisa, Stahma, and Defiance vs E-Rep) but is actually trying to show them using these small lowkey slice of life scenes, like an attempt at Babylon 5, but they just don't seem to match, since

I'm interested to see where this goes, especially with Irisa, Amanda, and perhaps Stahma. The new mayor didn't impress me and I was kind of hoping they'd just executed Datak, he's just so boring. Did love the Irisa-Nolan reunion, I totally have a soft spot for that relationship. And Irisa's hallucinations should have

Seriously, I bailed on BFF a couple of minutes in, but if it was like this, then I wish I'd stuck around. I can't get over their chemistry as a duo. It feels like we're just watching two hilarious best friends ad-libbing all their jokes.
And Mark's fine but Tina is the real winner in that pair. Both her appearances

I know! At the time, I was so angry because it was Walking Dead that got the renewal and…it wasn't great, for me. Now I'm just going to compare every new AMC show to Rubicon and be like, oh, so you think this is better? Just like ABC and Pushing Daisies.

I guess I just expect more and better at this point. I watch too much TV at this point to dislike cliches or predictability, but with so little payoff and respect for the audience, I can't like HCF. Penny Dreadful's been slow and withholding all its secrets but I'm thoroughly enjoying that. Orphan Black's been edge of

* Cameron comes in talking about the code Joe's been pressurizing her to write *
"Cameron, why are you here?"
Can we have this and Turn cancelled and just bring back Rubicon? I swear, if I'm sympathizing most with the curmudgeonly buzzkill boss (loved the eyeroll at Joe kicking over the computer), the show's gone wrong

I feel like my summation of every episode now is simply "Whoa, Eva Green." Her expressions with Dorian liven up their scenes, and I enjoyed that random spinning around, poor Malcolm ready to confess his secrets and then catches sight of her face and the music ramps up as she lifts up.
