Everyone catch that next week will be 3 episodes? 1 on Monday, 2 on Tuesday. I can't decide whether or not to be ecstatic or insulted that CBS is burning them off this quickly.

Fred Savage was pure gold on The Grinder. It's a real shame it was cancelled. Canceling Grinder and Agent Carter on the same day was just brutal.

Kinda too bad. Hunter was becoming my favorite character on the show. And Bobbi had her moments. It would be a real shame for those characters to just fade away. Maybe they can return to the SHIELD.

Considering the entire news from Harriet is that they got the rights back, I don't understand how Red Eagle could be involved. Regardless, she was massively unhappy with the ashcan pilot and Red Eagle and now she seems to be very happy and excited…

I think it's really nasty to make half this post about a bad pilot made for rights reasons when the reality is that this is entirely new development project. Why assume the new one will be bizarre when you are referencing the 2 day crappy rights grab version?

I definitely should have noted the parallels to Cranston and Odenkirk's careers, but I guess I'm so used to them by now. McKean, though, just wows me.

The Chuck/Hank protagonists-in-an-antagonist's story parallels just keep building.

Maybe "place setting" is the wrong phrase to use. I don't see either of those scenes being climactic, they felt more like setup for the actual climax of the season next week. Mike complicated his life by messing with the Salamancas which will bite him on the ass before the season is over. Jimmy did the same thing with

Perfect A for this episode is a bit much, the show isn't infallible and Chuck's leaps of deduction stretch incredulity to me. A lot of normal place setting in this fairly perfunctory episode.

I think what the reviewer thinks is happening with Julia (becoming a villain) is not accurate and things will play out very differently, if they are using the books as a general guideline to character arcs. The resolution of the finale is vastly different and moves some goal posts farther down the line in comparison,

As horrible as the scene in the books is, it served a very important purpose. It set up the central conflict of the second book and showed that trying to screw around with the origins of magic has some big consequences. I certainly think they need to still address that aspect, but can definitely do it without the

Trying to unpack Jimmy's Mesa Verde scheme. So HHM will prepare some documents or research based on the false address. Then what? They will check their records and find that the records have the same address on them. Wouldn't they just go to Mesa Verde and say "hey this is what you gave us." Even if they compare the

Single favorite part of this episode was Winston's "Jessica Damn Day!" That was a line reading to end all line readings.

"Let's blow some tiny minds" deserves some Stray love.

Oh crap I definitely did miss that tidbit about the crops being burned when they were at the scene. Thanks to you both.

In what way? I don't recall there being evidence of a fire at the crime scene or anything regarding someone dragging someone else that was injured.

So what was the series' opening scene (night time, raging fire, someone dragging someone else) about? Hopefully I'm not missing something huge, but that seems missing from the story.

I don't like "Avalon" much more than anyone else, but unlike some, I find the final Marcus bit quite clever as foreshadowing a few things for the first time. Identifying Kosh as Merlin is total misdirection (see "War Without End's" revelations for what he is really foreshadowing) and Morgan Le Fay makes her appearance
