The casting for young Gillian really was extraordinary! Frighteningly uncanny!

Patricia Arquette doesn't get enough credit for her role. She was great as a temporary Bonnie to Nucky's Clyde. They paired well in their dysfunctional way, both knowing they could never give themselves to each other completely, but still aiming to make a buck together. She will be missed.

Nobody's included Boardwalk Empire on Prez's IMDB page!!!

I loved the subtle, understated replacements of the men in Virginia's life! It was quiet, but understandable.

Not only was Lafayette given literally nothing to say, but he wasn't even invited to the bullshit wedding?!

Sarah Silverman was bare-breasted.

@ Sonia: Please tell me you'll be the one doing the reviews each week! You and Todd really have the best analyses to offer, so I'm rootin' for ya! :)

Is anyone else so incredibly glad that all the vamp-hater humans met their end tonight, along with those Hep-V vampires?!

Taylor Schilling's delivery of, "This place is bullshit" is just such a badass, compelling moment! Through said delivery, we feel that all things are about to come to a head and that shit will hit the fan on a massive scale. She is done being pushed around, and we believe it.

I'm happy I'm not the only one who felt the scenes between the minor characters were the real winners this episode.

Was I the only one who was excited to see Bennett grow a set of balls and stand up to the girls blackmailing him? Generally speaking, I don't find his character or story that compelling, but his cracking of the whip to flex his authority added a bit more depth and intrigue. You can only push an ex-soldier so far!

Yeah, I'm gonna be frank: I'm just stickin' around at this point to see how it all ends. For me, this show has been going in a downward spiral since season 4. It started out so fun and original, but I feel like they've just dug so many pointless holes for themselves full of characters we've known for like 3 seconds…

I'm thinking there's a good chance Margot will be caput next episode! Based on the fact that Fairley's only received a "guest starring" credit this entire time, it makes me think that she won't be around for the end.

Seems like it as this point. Such a cool side character though!

WHERE.IS.COLDHANDS?!!!?!!?!

Right off the bat, I will say I agree in that the episode's conclusion would have been far more satisfying if it ended with Stannis' pillaging of the wildling army! That would have been an excellent cap, which could have potentially been as epic as the climax to the battle for Helm's Deep in Two Towers.

I like how, with the exception of saving Gilly, the show is making Ygritte so merciless, killing anyone and everyone that is in her way. I could only assume this is the show's way of making her upcoming death that much easier to take.

Ummmm……where's Arianne Martell on this list?! Kind of essential!!

Is it wrong that I'm actually really enjoying 24 at twice the speed?

What's really interesting about Burt's end is that it's different from most geriatric deaths onscreen in that he isn't necessarily the wisest man in the room.
