Well, in the first episode he claims to be soooo in love with Laura, then makes out with her best friend on the day her body is discovered. After that, it's all downhill. Plus the singing scene made me never want a man to touch me again.

"Sheriff, it's Pete Martell up at the mill. Um, I'm gonna transfer it to the phone on the table by the red chair against the wall, the little table with the lamp on it, the lamp that we moved from the corner? The black phone, not the brown phone."

The female characters on HoC are generally more interesting. I'd take Claire, Leanne or Jackie Sharp any day over Doofus Writer, Hacker Dude or fucking Doug Stamper and I can't even think of any more male characters.

Spacey's hamminess is pretty much the only thing that keeps me watching this show.

The Radiolab episode "Hello" has a fascinating story about a woman who tried to teach dolphins to speak English. Great episode.

It's funny because Yoko Ono is a Japanese domestic abuse victim who advocated for world peace, SO lame, right? lol

I just have to say, I still really miss Polite Fight. Consider this a plea to bring it back, at least for the final episode.

He underestimates what he considers to be a backwards, bumpkin police force, similar to how Anton Chirgurh dismisses Sheriff Bell in No Country. Plus, it's already been established that he doesn't think much of women. He sees this investigation as a temporary inconvenience, easily swept under the rug. He's not far

What is with the band's revolving cast of interchangeable female bass players? They decided to have a token woman but can't even give her a regular gig?

Maybe, for some of us, the character is so funny precisely because he's so evil. It's the blackest of black humor; a laugh-or-stick-your-head-in-the-oven situation. Like depictions of Hitler or Osama bin Laden (or hell, even Trump) that make them into buffoonish characters to be laughed at. You don't forget how evil

I've expressed this before, but Native Americans are all but invisible in pop culture outside of tertiary archetypes such as those on Fargo and even Twin Peaks. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is the one exception to this.

Agreed. I laughed my ass off, and not just because I was high. Pretty sure about that.

I loved Rectify. One of the slowest shows ever, and 200% more riveting than the Mike/drug cartel plot lines on this show.

Something tells me Albuquerque has no shortage of strip malls.

I can't bring myself to give half a shit about Mike's budding romance with sad church widow. That scene in the bereavement support group was an eye-roller. Does the world really need another group therapy monologue in which the camera does a 360 around the speaker? I'm getting too cynical for TV.

Well I got Hillary; how d'ya think I feel?

With Ray still wearing his Emmit wig.

My thought was that Nikki has definitely heard "I love you" before, but never a marriage proposal. She took the profession of love with a grain of salt. I could be wrong, of course.

Paying for shelter, a basic human need, is not "throwing money away"! Arrrgh.

Why can't people just fidget with their rings, paper napkins at restaurants and cafés and the occasional beer bottle label, like normal people?!
