"So, sorry, but killing a witness (or intimidating them into disappearing) does not mean their testimony can't come in."

Even Adriana's smart enough to know what's going down when she realizes he's driving deep into the woods.  But that's just my interpretation, I could be completely wrong.

Exactly.  When the events were unfolding, I thought "Holy shit, this is a game changer—Chris and Adriana actually going into Witness Protection?  Is next season 'the trial?'"  Which then morphed into "Holy shit, Chris tried to kill himself?  He probably hasn't told anybody yet."

It makes sense to me that the rule the mob would follow would be to just kill the snitch immediately.  It sends a clear message to everybody that talking to the Feds equals death, no exceptions or chance to delay the inevitable through negotiation.

We are, however, probably fucked.

I completely agree, Sancho.  ("Neither is Frank Gifford Sancho; Scott Baio—he is not Sancho!" —sorry.)  Anyway, I'm not in any way surprised the writers never made it concrete.  The only response Carmela could have at that point would be to leave, which isn't the sort of character drama the writers were interested…

"Even 'Ice Ice Baby' is better wedding-reception cheese than 'U Can’t Touch This.'"

When I first read the title of the article I got confused—those movies were flops?  My family watched the shit out of Three Amigos, and I recall seeing Scrooged in a packed theater when it first came out, so "flop" was not how I viewed either film.

Unless you're into that sort of thing, profdragon.

I agree that he's not necessarily on to Dexter.  Dexter was the force that caused him to rethink his life and decide to "try things on his own."  Since this means he no longer needs the hand, he's returning it to the Police Department, and to him it's fitting that he can mail it to his "muse" (so to speak) to…

Well… although Boardwalk Empire set it up a LOT better from the beginning, Dexter does state in the first episode of season one something to the effect that "if I had feelings, I'd have them for my sister."  Although I never took that statement to mean sexual feelings, one could argue the idea was foreshadowed.  In a…

I think the point of Harrison being threatened by Travis is to make Dexter choose to let Harrison's grandparents raise him, reasoning that it's too dangerous for Dexter to do it himself.  That way the writers next season don't have to figure out how to explain how Dex can hunt at night when he's got a kid.  Hit the…

Methinks Amantine is giving trolling a shot.  And failing.  It's too obvious an attempt to get people to shoot back with logical arguments, like "Hating the show is his job, if he hates the show that he's been hired to review."

It's confusing when the reviewer says it's the low point of the season even though it's not the worst episode of the season, but I think I know what he's getting at.  This ep was more interesting that the previous two because there were some stakes established at the beginning—namely, Batista could die and Operation…

I missed this ep—for some sad, sad reason I still watch Dexter, which airs at the same time.  So I normally stay awake for the second Leverage showing three hours later (for me, at 11:00 p.m.) or DVR it—but the DVR's full and I didn't make it.  To summarize, I suck. 

Does anybody else want to give fastandsloppy a hug after that comment?  C'mon over here, everybody—group hug.

That version of The Hobbit is indeed awesome.  Peter Jackson's version has a lot to live up to.

Oh man.  If only that would work.
