Yup
This was my first though (and fear) when Netflix decided to jump into original programming: with all the other streaming services/platforms out there (like Hulu and Amazon), what's to stop the networks and cable services from just hosting their own material (or using some sort of TV On Demand channel)?

Not debating either of those points with you guys; I won't be upset when Lights Out gets the TKO from FX, though. Perhaps this is why no other networks have a boxing show on air, though, considering that much of drama from the show has been ginned up out of non-boxing side plots that are a little too close to stock…

And yet….
Interesting as this episode was, I miss it being about *boxing*. The corruption stuff with Brennan doesn't really feel tied to boxing in particular; it could just as easily have been on Justified, Sons of Anarchy, Damages, or any other FX show. I liked the scenes with the washed-up former pro — the…

Triple Post?
Wow, now how did I manage that?

POTW Confusion
I have to admit that I kept thinking that the POTW was Steve Little from Eastbound and Down, and I was getting really confused as to why this episode wasn't funnier.

Pig, nope. And the Cheerleaders seemed to be so intent on focusing the Goths on U-Turning the Globetrotters specifically so that *they* wouldn't get that bullet. But I agree; if you're U-Turned, you shouldn't be able to U-Turn as well. I mean, if you accidentally reached the U-Turn before completing your previous task…

No, I did *not* know that about prison arts-and-crafts. Thanks for the lesson. ::huddles in corner, weeping in fetal position::

I was actually thinking to myself, I'm so glad that I just saw Catfish, or that would've really irritated me. But big balls to Harmon for actually showing us what having a spoiler like Britta in your life would be like.

Actually . . . .
I liked this episode; I thought the slow-motion and hard-focus direction of the last ten minutes was terrific, and this is a great episode for Laurie to submit for his Emmy. Did want to nitpick one thing from the staff review:

I do hope Amber comes back in a non-contrived way, but Kal's working for the White House again, isn't he? (I do agree that he, a person who actually committed suicide, would be a good hallucination for House . . . even though I don't think House is suicidal.)

I mean, House admitted as much (that he was a better doctor when unhappy), so it's no surprise to see him back to his living-vicariously-through-puzzle-solving ways.

I hadn't even considered that they were doing it as redemption; it just seemed like they were continuing to pay-it-back: they've been helped on several challenges so far, by various teams.

Wow.
Has any team ever made as many bone-headed mistakes in one episode as Kent and Vyxsin? They get ridiculously lost, resulting in missing a required flight (for which they may get further penalized), screw up the road block worse than every other team (save one, maybe), and then lose their travel documents and…

I would absolutely agree with you — if it weren't for the fact that the numbers are going to be against Rob, even with an idol to save him once, when the tribes merge. On a positive note, if Rob does end up on Redemption Island, chances are he'll be able to win his way back.

Rewatching Kung Fu Panda would require *watching* Kung Fu Panda. I feel dumber just typing that.

Agreed with both Chudley and Jorge. Romeo and Reynolds both warned Lights about Romeo's methodology, and Lights has been on the regimen for at least a week or so — if trust is an issue here, then Lights is a far worse person than we've been led to believe.

What? — Yes, lost. The Nazis stole it and subsequently lost it. The people whom it was stolen from are most likely dead and realistically *not* expecting to have it recovered, at this point. Sure, Neal could do the work of attempting to find the legal inheritors of each piece, assuming that's possible, but in this…

It's a lot easier to tell somebody else something than to hear it yourself, bro.
