Honestly I've always felt this show was overrated (it's just not on the same level as BCS or The Americans fam, sorry), but it was thrilling to watch that opening.

But then why did one of the hackers ask Darlene if she had visited Elliot recently in a previous episode?

Man, y'all are getting hoodwinked by Christian Slater's unbelievable charisma. That last scene was not some dad of the year. He emotionally blackmailed his kid into keeping a secret no child should keep, because it made him feel better to tell his son.

I'm lost… How do they know each other?

Are you sure? I really think it was something else. It was injected into his skin and it was clearly a syringe holding some sort of liquid.

He emotionally blackmailed his very young son into keeping his fatal illness from everyone else in his family, because he needed to get it off his chest.

Okay let's calm down. In no way is Malek head and shoulders above an actor like Rhys or Odenkirk. He's great but IMO he's not better than Rhys.

I think Stranger Things definitively proved that it is very, very, very difficult to do what Dan Harmon does.

Bravo. Underrated comment

I think it was more how lonely Whiterose must be. They have to live this double/triple life, and it doesn't appear that they have any female companions.

Mawp

Really? Last week did feel a little excessive but this week felt spot on. It's just such a humiliating, all-encompassing facet of his life. It doesn't go away in the show because it doesn't go away in the character's life. Ever.

I'm fairly certain it was the cop recording. However, the mic was definitely inside the cab. But I think that's just foley for ya.

It's not really about WHAT drug he took. It's the fact that a) he lied to his legal defense team, and more importantly b) even when confronted, looked for any way out before he admitted his lie.

Haha I was thinking the same thing. Goddamn those are some beautifully drawn lines.

As a side note, I think Tuturro is doing a phenomenal job. That being said, that scene again made me so sad James Gandolfini isn't around to play this role. He would have absolutely crushed this, with the added benefit of having such a strong impression from the audience to play against.

Man. I just realized we're going to see the trial, and I think it's a pretty safe assumption the knife gets thrown out due to the break in the chain of custody.

My interpretation was he basically unleashed all of his frustration, confusion, depression and rage from this whole ordeal onto acid psycho.

Oh shiiiiiiiittttttttt I didn't even think of that. Good call

Oh my god people, get over it. Who knew eczema was gonna be the breaking point in a show with a brutally murdered young girl, a man beaten to a bloody pulp, and someone getting horribly burned with hot oil.
