It seems a matter of simple division why this season has struggled to create characters as interesting as those in season 1; season 1 had 8 episodes to really develop two characters, while season 2 has an even more convoluted plot, and the same amount of time to develop 4 characters. With math like that it's no wonder…

I almost choked laughing when Charlie became so drunk he needed subtitles in the premiere. I wasn't eating anything, I just choked on pure laughter

I have long been considering becoming a lawyer, but shied away from it because I erroneously thought it was just about enforcing rules, which I don't like.

My favorite line was "I'm man poison!" Also, I love "do you want to go… outside with me?" XD

I hadn't heard that quote from Job before; It was absolutely beautiful, and masterfully acted by Justin Theroux. This episode was a masterpiece that gave me new insight into human nature, and I can't praise it highly enough.

I saw the title as an allegory for things in the external world that provoke us or make us angry which have control over us. It would explain why Kevin was so confounded by the bagel machine, and why Meg got so upset with the tree-cutting initiation.

Those scenes at Lester's insurance business sure reminded me of No Country for Old Men. All the negative space in those buildings' windows that could be filled at any moment by Malvo… even the lighting looked similar, with the lights cast upward.
