She'll play a bigger role in future episodes. She's carrying the royal child!

They can be killed. Stakes made from the wood of that magical tree (I forget the name) in the village they grew up in can and have killed Original Vampires.

It's pretty realistic. There were countdowns to the Olsen twins 18th birthday. Lindsay Lohan also.

I don't think it's sick or sad to experience the show as a revenge fantasy. I'm also a survivor. So I understand why you feel that way.

I suspected that also. Mickey definitely uses 'abuser language'. But even if he didn't, isn't what he did just as bad? Maybe even worse?

He was protecting the family secret. It's hard to let people in when you've been abused. He also didn't say he killed the priest because of loyalty. He said he couldn't tell her why because of loyalty to his family.

I hope the show doesn't go in that direction, but it depends how they handle it I suppose.

Ray Donovan isn't a perfect show. But this was a satisfying and entertaining finale for what the first season gave us.

Rian Johnson tweeted that he had to ask the DGA for a waiver to delay the credits until act 2. Breaking Bad breaks the mould in so many different ways!

That's my theory also. The ricin is for Todd, the gun for the Nazis, and he'll try save Jesse because he's the only family he has left.

Serial killers also get the Labor Day long weekend off work.

You are not alone. Alphas deserved a third season. Defiance is a snoozefest and the ratings aren't that great either.

The show is setting up Tommy Wheeler to molest Ray Donavon's son. I'm not the only one seeing this right?

Ha! I thought this site was way too hard on The Following with F ratings, until I heard that Joe Carroll was coming back for the second season. I take it all back now. You were right all along A.V. Club!

Raylan would have seen through that whole charade in an instant and burned Dexter to the ground.

Oh there's definitely more creepy things out there…

I'm sure the writers were planning for that. But Adelaide Kane chose to leave the show for a bigger part. Similar things happened to the actors that played Erica and Jackson.

Maybe he got his degree in the UK and has to do additional rotations to get licensed?

I think he's doing his psychiatry residency at Radley. Doctors have to do rotations in all (most?) areas of medicine before being licensed. But he must be at least 25 years old.

I'm probably wrong. But I think the styling might be Banshee related. 
Banshee mythology refers to a Fae woman combing her hair, wearing a grey cloak. Lydia's always been obsessed with her hair. And that awful dress might be an attempt to make her appear older and wiser?
