Taken 4: Non-Consecutive

Taken 3: We Take Cash

When you TAKE a life, you TAKE the world entire.

They're gravediggers. "UnderTaken"!
They're race-car drivers. "OverTaken"!

Great review, Carrie. I agree about the episode's flaws. Let's hope this was a blip.

I also found Angelo's complaint an oddly realistic one; it's true that soaking helps a lot. Compare this to the absurd tennis playing last episode. Someone in the writers' room actually washes dishes!

I wonder whether the difficulty is compounded when one is learning to Sign in a *second* language. Maybe it's simply equally hard.

An unusual lack of subtlety tonight. It seemed every scene went on a little too long, with the camera lingering on the reaction shot.

@spinachleaf:disqus : Apparently so. Jump to George Clinton.

@drdarke:disqus : You're thinking of a reality competition on Bravo. ;)

It's odd that they give us the answer (how the person died) at the end of each episode, for the following reason: The person chosen to die next is based on how off they are from what actually happened in the previous murder. This means that if we listen to all the accusations at the end, we could theoretically…

"hosted"—I see what you did there. Nicely done.

(Weird how these last names, perhaps reversed, could apply to the three Tony Blair/Michael Sheen movies.) "I like 'The Queen' and Sheen is always great, but who wants to watch Tony Blair."

I'll give it a shot, then; it has to be better than Ashley Judd's "Missing," and I certainly watched a few hours of *that*.

I'm rather intolerant of people like that.

Exactly. The decency thing serves, unfortunately, as a sort of safety net beyond which any given character cannot be allowed to be damaged.

The way this show is shameless about these things, I'm *shocked* that Max Headroom didn't bump his head so that Pope the Autodidact would have to fly the plane.

At one point it seemed that President 7th Heaven and his government were the Pegasus to Tom's Galactica. But there were three or four tropes threatening to take over at once, so I can't be sure. (Maybe they're actually collaborators. Maybe they will vivisect Cochise. Maybe they want the Super Gun.)

He comes to. He touches his hand to his head. He tastes the blood. "No more Mr. Nice Gaius!"

Thanks for the new link; it works!
