Considering he was writing thrillers, or mysteries, it makes sense. Lots of writers write under pseudonyms, especially of those types of novels. I assume he's a bona fide writer, although maybe this was his first. And crossing boundaries with real life people is something writers deal with, and probably even innuendo…

I thought this episode was fantastic. They really shook the formula up and did quite a few unexpected things — the parents finding out in the background was cool. Ally loanides' performance was really inspired and a total surprise. I've never seen that actress, but she's actually got a Moriarty vibe, in that she's so…

I love how Amy was still in the afterglow. That was sweet. And Kaley Cuoco was funny with the psychiatrist, even though it made no sense. It only made sense if the psychiatrist was kind of getting back at her for getting in the door in that kind of sneaky way. But "I don't wanna" and all that evasion was funny. Her…

Wow. I love the graciousness of that executive.

Judy, no question. This was her best voice. I don't like the quality of her voice so much as she aged (prematurely). She was gorgeous in this film, too.

And Bobby went up one afternoon and never came down again. Exit little Bobby,

Something about the plot reminds me of Two for the Road, about a troubled couple traveling photogenically through Europe. Without the voyeurism plot. Anyway, that's a good movie, well-acted.

Maybe the writers overshot it with giving Gretchen "clinical depression". It started out as a show about people with hostility/passive-aggressive issues. But not a diagnosed mental illness. Now the balance is all weird. I really can't see where they can take this. Realistically, Jimmy might decide he can't take on…

Did Raylan kind of wash his hands of Loretta when she pursued the marijuana farming idea and went into a partnership with Boyd? He wasn't even checking up on her after that. She was really on her own with Markham and Boon.

This is a great interview, I like the interviewer's style. Kapelos is so Canadian, from knowing who Elwy Yost was to causing friction in the family by going west.

I don't think Jon Snow is boring.

I'm with you on Cenac. Though I know nothing about the situation, I've crossed that great divide between being the employer and the employee and I always roll my eyes when someone complains the boss got mad. Not to say that Cenac wasn't completely justified, because I really don't know, but till you've been the boss,…

Seriously. This review consists largely of a must-win-argument callback to Game of Thrones and a quote from a former AV Club reviewer I also didn't care for. Gender politics and pop culture criticism don't mix well, for my taste and the "Outlander is so much better than Game of Thrones" thesis is juvenile.

I just read this recap so I won't have to watch the last episode to find out what happens. It's excruciating. Any pleasure I got out of it was in yelling at the screen. Such as, "How did you get into police school?" (to Robin). Some mystery, I had it when I realized it's supposedly about a search for a missing girl…

Theon is important as part of the Stark family as we saw it in the very first episode (we didn't know who he was exactly for many episodes, just that he wasn't a Stark) Aren't Sansa and Theon the only ones from Winterfell who have so far been reunited? I don't know where the story is going but I hope that some kind of…

In Martin's world, and the show has mentioned it, there's the bedding ceremony where people watch the newlyweds to make sure it's consummated. So Theon being there is weird, but in the context of Westeros, it's not out of left field.

Yes, that's what I thought. It was an impish smile, not so much beatific. Though he was also transforming his genuine experience into his kind of art. The bell was perfect.

Thank you. The first part of this review was absolutely incoherent. The pious way that reviewers write about rape scenes in Game of Thrones totally takes me out of the story and I really resent it. Given all the other torture scenes that they don't seem to tie themselves in knots about — Theon's been castrated, Ros…

Isn't Friday like a graveyard night for shows?

Nice turn of phrase in that first paragraph, Mr. Cocktoasten.
