What happened to this season? After 4 episodes I thought it was on pace to be the strongest half season of the show's run, but these last 3 episodes have just been so weak.

That doesn't really explain the 2nd class ticket in my opinion; I think the ticket points to a much greater scheme than avoiding the cost of shipping back some sick immigrants. I guess it's possible that the man became sick on the boat and was transferred to 2nd class, but my supposition is that he was sick before the…

The coke will be flowing…

Mrs. Gallinger just wanted to show how grateful she was for Dr. Hodgman's care. You pull my teeth out, I poison your dinner.

Cleary is a constant scene stealer; playing into the hypnosis was great.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I think that her father wants a plague outbreak in the city to get more donors for The Knick 2.0.

The upcoming ball is going to be something. Lucy certainly has a plan; Henry is really going to regret giving her that invite.

Yes, I'm sure. This is the only way to accurately measure Thetan level.

I'm a little disappointed that the dough man was not wearing Summit Ice.

I enjoyed the Canadian flag. Canadians can go to space too guys.

It is a fantastic show; the directing and cinematography are second to none.

It is stunning to me that The Knick is not a Sunday night, 9 PM HBO show. You would think that they would want the prestige of having Soderbergh's show on their main network.

I've definitely had my fill of Abi at this point; she is entertaining, but I've seen enough. Hopefully Angkor loses again and votes her out before another swap or merge. Because if she makes it to the next phase of the game it's going to be the same shit all over again.

Regarding Kimmi, that is exactly what I was thinking too. An awful lot of Kimmi in the preview, oh and the preview ends with an ominous shot of Kimmi's face - yeah, she is going home.

Yeah, Monica is not long for this game. She is getting the pity screen time right now - she is gone in a few weeks so lets show her talking with Spencer for a minute.

I think that the lack of Ciera in the edit means that she is going far, but is not going to win. She will have her screen time at some point.

That challenge provided the best Probst narration in quite a while: "both guys digging deep! Let's go!"

Watching Savage pep talk himself into winning that challenge ("almost there, almost there") made me forgive him for all his Fishbach bashing and made me remember why I loved him so much in Pearl Islands. I am now seriously pulling for Savage, what can't that guy do!?

Yeah, it is just incomprehensible to me that Spencer and Shirin, supposed master strategists, would ignore anyone out there. Even if they thought that they had a locked down alliance on their tribe, they had to have known that a tribe swap was on the horizon, and that they could soon easily be in a position where they…

How the hell did Kelly Wentworth wiggle her way out of her triumvirate with Shirin and Spencer? She was strategizing with them all last episode and suddenly she is not associated with them at all? Either she is incredibly lucky, or we were not shown some excellent gameplay by her.
