Good post.  However, regarding your last point do we know that Stan knew exactly how she died before his mob buddy showed him the crime scene photos in the last episode?  I kind of took that as more of him provoking Stan, both in the sense of showing him the gruesomeness of Rosie's death and also connecting it back to…

Oh, and shouldn't they have said "YOU'RE NOT MY MOMS! GO HOME!"

@phodreaw Don't you mean "I think if my MOMS constantly fed me out of vending machines…"?

I know kids can be mean and shitty and nasty and all, but did it strike anyone else as off that the kid is getting bullied over his murdered sister?  It's been many years since I was a prepubescent little dork, but I think even the nastiest kids in school having some scruples (i.e. family tragedies off limits).

I thought it wasn't doing well.  At least according to the headlines I've seen.

Yeah, that whole scene brought the episode down a notch.  As it was playing out I thought they might go with something extreme like Terry actually hitting / hurting the kid (instead of just lamely shaking him in a very community theater way) or the kid pulling a knife or a gun on her.  But, no. We got "YOU'RE NOT MY…

No way this show gets a 3rd season.

…but the rest of the season, what????

I was just about to post something very similar to this.

Thank you.  I'm glad that the inexplicable amount of time I've spent watching this show and reading its reviews and comments has paid off with a passable bit of prose.

He's probably the killer and is upset that Richmond has gotten all of the attention.

Yeah, I'm guessing that Stan's mob buddy is next in line as primary suspect with an airtight case against him.  Like they'll have video tape of him stuffing a girl into a trunk of a car then driving it into a pond.  Then upon closer examination, it turns out that the girl wasn't Rosie and the car wasn't Richmond's so…

I'd say no.  It got bad, but it was "face palming" bad not "lulz" bad.  If you go in solely to mock it, you'll find it a wholly unsatisfying and underwhelming experience.  The reason it resonated with so many of us last year is that the first few episodes led us to believe we could be getting into something close to…

Yeah, the whole Richmond resolution is making the Bennett story seem like a tight narrative.  Even if he didn't commit murder, he did some pretty shady stuff.  The writers seem content to attribute it all to a broken heart and move on.  But then I guess the kind of story you get from the undergraduate creative writing…

I actually found this episode to be oddly captivating.  I can't wait to see how they connect Stan's mob friends to the murder and then exonerate them.  I hope we get more crazy Holder.  And the whole "Mitch sees the same mysterious girl twice" thing is too dumb not to want to see where it goes.
 
I don't know which part…

Good call.  But how cool would it have been if they'd released that video a month before the S4 premiere?

To everyone treating the words of The Cranston as Gospel:  I am still waiting for the webisodes that were supposed to bring us into Season 4.

I'm in this for the long haul, although I'm now watching through a completely different lens than last season.  No more naive hopes that they'll drop one final twist that will make the preceding story come together in a way that makes us all say "ahhh…now that was clever".  I'm just going to watch to see where it…

I liked the original "Summer School" movie very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, much.

I would be surprised if the DVDs are released with all of the music in tact.  Several years ago (it must have been 2000 or 2001 because I was a senior in college) the series was run on USA (or some such network) and most of the original music was replaced.
