I do, too. I thought I was going to make it through this episode without wanting to burst into tears, but then Janet said what she did about going to Nashville and that was that.

8/11 is Amantha's birthday.

Oh, it definitely wasn't just Daniel's dream.

Also, Tawney has clearly felt "imprisoned" by her marriage to Teddy for some time now. So, it's kind of a perfect setting, in a way.

If you choose to view that as a problem, fair enough. However, this being a Southern Gothic work, I feel it simply comes with the territory. Also, it seems to me that such a connection has been heavily telegraphed ever since the first conversation between Tawney and Daniel.

Exactly. They're connected spiritually, so that was my read on the scene as well.

B+?! Pretty sure you meant A+. May Frog strike me down.

Absolutely. I laugh bitterly every time someone suggests that the show would've been better off if AMC had chosen to air it. While it's quite possible that it would have a bit more viewers than it currently has, it's highly unlikely to me that it would've survived past season one there. I know they're both in the same…

Yes, there will be a fourth season.

Me, too! I don't know what it is, but I just never get tired of it.

I've been thinking the same thing- particularly after this episode, which strikes me as possibly the beginning of the end, as it were. On the one hand, I hope I'm wrong, because I so desperately want it to keep going, but on the other, if I've learned anything over these three seasons, it's to trust McKinnon's vision.…

Seeing Daniel finally allow himself to feel tear-inducing relief and happiness, if only for a moment, is somehow more devastating than nearly everything we've seen him go through thus far.

While you're absolutely right that that type of masculinity is prevalent to a toxic degree here in the South, and Teddy clearly is a victim of it, I've never gotten the impression that he even remotely wanted to extend any sort of courtesy toward Daniel, let alone compassion. In my opinion, he's treated Daniel more as…

I hear you. There's just something about him.

Oh, I'm sure it'll be an interesting read eventually. From the interviews and stuff I've read, it seems like McKinnon probably hasn't planned too far ahead. Of course, he could just be saying things to make people think that; he strikes me as rather sly.

Wow, that's awesome… I almost said I envy you, but then, I really wouldn't want to be spoiled, either. Haha.

I agree. He's realizing that the world is his prison. His execution may have been stayed five times, but now he's really kicking the bucket… of epoxy. This show's dark sense of humor, man.

I believe that was episode one of last season- "Running with the Bull".

Well, neither am I, entirely, but he did tell Daggett that
"[Daniel] was tryin' to teach me some kinda sick lesson," so on some level…

RIGHT?! So glad I wasn't the only one who was thinking that.
