I'm going to do everything I can to laugh at him over the next few years, but I need a few days to get through the despair and anger first.

QSO was Season 5, episode 7.

Young Hopkins was only in a few scenes. It would be incredibly hard to make an entire season of young CGI Ed Harris look good.

Apparently, the showrunners said in an interview that there's going to be a solid explanation for that in a few episodes.

His use of "Exit Music (for a Film)" at the end of Person of Interest Season 3 was pretty spectacular.

You could see the MiB thinking "Damnit, why does the NPC get to play with the mounted weapon?"

God fucking damnit. I guess I'm back on the Arrowagon.

Apparently he kidnapped the Showtime EVP of gold-painted dongs.

Yeah, the end of Season 2, where we learned that the Machine went to extreme lengths to retain her memory and had secretly stolen herself from the government, was when it really hit its stride as SciFi.

"Screened in the embryo" or some as such.

There's a difference between using religion as a metaphor (which is what the show seems to be doing) and flat out having "god did it," a la BSG.

I think Teddy's reaction was a pretty solid indication of what happens when a human tries to attack another human with a real weapon. It's the "Samaritan Reflex" that was mentioned last week. (I suppose it could just be Ford-specific, but I wouldn't bet on it.)

Gotta use those old Game of Thrones sets for something.

After last week, I'm starting to care about Maeve and her desperate quest to figure out WTF is going on.

Theory: a CBS executive watched "If-Then-Else" and realized the show wasn't a crime procedural.

The early episodes are slow; they do a lot to subtly flesh out the characters, but the plot doesn't really appear to be going anywhere. You can find guides that tell you which first season episodes can be skipped.

AOL was the entire reason AT&T made the buy; they needed something to improve U-Verse.

God damn. I dropped this show at the end of season 3, I dropped it at the end of season 4, but this review makes me very tempted to go crawling back to it again, even though I know it's probably going to burn me again.

The prop department had a field day trying to figure out what a Mohammed-shaped dildo looked like.

It would be amusing if the Token White Male is played by a different guest star in every episode and gets fired each week. Otherwise, looks like a pass.
