I may be the only viewer who wasn't bothered by that. I mean, it was cheesy and laughably bad, but this isn't a show I watch for the special effects.

This: the feeling of dread before every episode of TD. I watched it, because I wanted to know what happened, but I never enjoyed it. It was misery upon misery every week.

To be fair, Lester had planted evidence at Chaz's house. Murder by jealous lover, with evidence, makes more sense than a frame-up-by-sociopathic-brother, without evidence.

French Canadians call it "poche", which means both "pocket" and "vagina". I guess the urge to make the game dirty is universal.

I felt bad for him too. Bill's not a bad person, just not a good cop. If anything, his blindness in this case stems from his overwhelming sympathy for Lester. And the spurned lover (Chaz) as murderer is a simpler explanation that what really happened.

I wasn't chastising you for spoiling stuff. I'm a history teacher! I know about Andre and Arnold and Tallmadge's fates (there's a Benjamin Tallmadge historic house in my state). I just never read anything specific about the Culper Ring. I know about the general course of the war, but the military stuff was never an…

Ahh. I've decided not to read anything about the characters on the show until it's over (God knows I have plenty of other stuff to read). It's fun this way because I know enough about the period to make the show interesting, but can still be surprised about some plot points.

That is the funniest thing I've ever seen on this show.

There was the dinner party scene a few weeks ago where they all were singing tavern songs, and I was waiting for "Anacreon in Heaven", and it didn't disappoint.

I always felt like things slowed down when Simcoe showed up. His villainy was too cartoony: Here we go, now Eyeballs is going to do something dastardly!

I'm so glad they gave Mary something to do other than to be tragic and pitiful.

I really wish they're explore a little more the idea that the British weren't all bad guys, and just maybe some of the Patriots were shitty little tax cheats.

We need to get some more in-depth stuff on Rogers and his motivations and so on.

I really like those blue dragoon uniforms.

I kept thinking, this is like Helm's Deep, but with swearing, which is much more realistic.

How many times has it been done in movies that a depressed protagonist hooks up with the person who's got a crush on them? That's practically a trope. Emotionally damaged people can still make choices — maybe bad ones, maybe ones they'll regret, but that doesn't make it rape.

I can't believe I'm reading this.

No, not just for Root. But Burn Gorman (of GOT) and Angus McFayden are also fun to watch and they're in almost every episode. TURN isn't bad. It's basically soap opera with period costumes.

Did anyone watch these video clips in the article? The Castaway one doesn't even show the transition the article plays up, and is a horrible cell-phone recording of a tv screen to boot, and the P&R one is indescribably weird. Am I taking crazy pills here?

He had to have something to talk to practically alone on the Galactica. I think of the 'stache as Adama's version of Swearengen's Indian head-in-a-box.
