In the book, she's four years older than he is. No idea why they changed it here. But I do have to say when I watched the pilot, I did think to myself that she looked more than four years older than him. But that probably had something to do with the way she was dressed/carried herself in her own time.

Yep. He should have had to register with the cops in Dutch Harbor after that one. So gross.

The Soup made the same point a couple of weeks ago, using that clip of him literally licking his lips when his girlfriend got off the plane. The camera guy who shot that deserves a medal if he managed not to barf.

Right? Weevil looked great. He doesn't look all that much bigger to me here, truthfully. What's putting me off is his hair — real or not it just looks wrong — and the fact that his character is always squinty and whiny. Weevil was never whiny.

Oh, I agree completely. I know I complain a lot about this show, but I'm actually enjoying snark-watching it. I'm not quite hate-watching yet, but that's a possibility if Eph's custody bullshit keeps up much longer.

The difference to my mind is AHS was going for batshit crazy and ended up overshooting it by a mile. My friends and I would joke that 90 percent of the things that happened on that show was a result of a contest in the writer's room to see who could get the weirdest/dumbest/most disturbing thing on TV. And as bad as…

I don't think so. I have yet to see a bleach enema on The Strain, although they may be working up to that by describing the intricacies of a cloaca.

I think that depends on the reason why.

Maybe he's practicing for his visitation days with the kid. I don't think I've heard anybody over the age of 10 ever use that particular phrase.

I've had Greg Dulli singing in my head ever since I heard that line.

IMDB says you're right. And with a name that out of the ordinary, I think it says something not good that I can't remember ever hearing it said on this show. Fingers crossed that the show is planning something big for Crispin later, but I'm not optimistic.

I think Weevil is bumming me out more than just about anything else about this show. I'm really hoping that hair he's sporting here is just another example of the show's piss poor wig budget because if not, wow. And his character (whose name I can't even remember) has done nothing even remotely interesting. Francis…

I've come to that same conclusion, although I'm sure that's not what the show is going for. If it had a sense of humor about itself, this could be really fun, like Slither was. Instead, it takes itself so seriously that a grown man in a terrible wig actually said "You're dead to me" to another adult. I had high hopes…

Genitals Go Plop is the name of my first album.

I did lose sympathy for him this week, but I gained a lot of respect for his entrepreneurial spirit. Call me a wuss, but if I got my ear chopped off at work by a lunatic, I don't think I'd be coming in the next day, let alone find a way to turn mutilation into a profit-making opportunity. Well done Timmy, you little…

Oh, there's nothing right about him. I'm with Hank on that one. But I wouldn't be surprised if @cinecraft:disqus ends up being right and Jack actually killed Sonya's sister. Then the whole, "Sure, I'll cut off your air supply while we screw so you can know, hopefully mid-orgasm, what your sister felt like when she was…

Who PREVIEW SPOILER

It's Tim, asshole.

That's exactly what I was thinking during that scene. I was almost expecting her to laugh in his face by the time he was done laying out his plan for their "good life." But the longer that speech went on, the more I was sure that Charlotte wasn't getting anywhere near Alaska. The look on her face when he mentioned…

She's been doing that for a while now and it never gets any less creepy to me. What bothered me most about it tonight was that it was pretty obvious what the whole choke sex thing was about and Jack (that's his name, right?) didn't seem phased by it. IIRC correctly, he asked her something along the lines of "you're…
