Me, I was rooting for Drogon and Dany.

There are logical faults in the show that keep me from fully engaging with it, even as I continue watching out of curiosity. The humans supposedly cannot be hurt by the hosts, so any peril that William, Logan or The Man in Black face is purely pretend. (The noose around Man in Black's neck makes me wonder then who

A response to 2 points raised by the reviewer:

I'm surprised by how focused the comments are on plot points and story arcs and resolutions. We seem to want the series to proceed and to end in ways that are satisfactory to us. Perhaps we should relax a bit and try to see what the creators of American Crime were trying to show us, what questions they were raising,

I thought it was a brilliant episode,upsetting, even horrifying. In fact, I believe AC is the most powerful show on TV right now. Loved the filming of the hookup between Eric and the guy in the minivan, surgical yet sad. Both violent events in the show, actually, were handled with artistry, amplifying the horror by

Well, I loved it. Smart, witty, very meta-oriented as a gift to fans. Wonderful to have Sherlock and John back with us, even for just a jest such as this episode was. The point wasn't the plot; the point was further exploration of the characters and to have fun while doing it.

Well, that's over. Now that the show is less about protecting the Homeland than it is about Carrie's emotional dramas and insecurities I think I'm done with the series. In the finale all the plot points were finished off in a way that revealed how uninterested the writers/producers/showrunners were in them. It's a

If the leaked CIA files prove that Allison is a Russian mole (and therefore the reason she tried to have Carrie killed), why hasn't Carrie just gone through the files? Otto During gave them to her. She and Saul just make emotional statements about Allison's guilt based on a screensaver and a drive to the Russian safe

I fastforwarded through a lot of Carrie's breakdown but especially her fight with Jonas. Can I continue to watch a show when I dislike the heroine so much?

I've hated this season, a sophomoric blend of genre conventions. With only two characters to care about - Bezzarides and Velcoro - all the deaths are meaningless.Are they for our enjoyment? I didn't enjoy it. The faux profundity, sententious dialogue and frequent violence were at first irritating and then just

It seems we have a reviewer who has little interest in the show. The tone is condescending but several plot points are not comprehended - the general setting up the date with hookers, for example - and much of the plot is overlooked - the floppy disc scenes.
Look, the show is not excellent but it's fun and reasonably

It's Vince Vaughn who disrupts the coherence & cohesion of each scene. I can see him acting, see him thinking, "Now I'll stare straight ahead." "Now I'll look ahead, look anxious." Now I'll lower my head and walk away." Whenever he's in a scene, everything screeches to a halt once the camera focuses on him. I don't
