And Victoria in the prettiest nude sateen strappy throwing herself on her lover's corpse. Later, the zombie stare, and everyone's wearing Pascal.

Herc is a lot of things. A truly complex character. The arc of this difficult friendship is very satisfying.

The nerds are suitably unattractive.

Mrs. Coach: Start Saracen.
Coach: I cannot start Matt Saracen.
Mrs. Coach: Start Voodoo.
Coach: I don't want to start Voodoo.
Mrs. Coach: Start me.
Coach: ::Laughs:: I would love to start you. I would LOVE to start you.

"…but we met Matt first…" Yes, and the contrast in attitudes makes it pretty clear who we should root for. I did appreciate Voodoo's honest and (suddenly) articulate explanation in Coach's office, though. "You and me are an arranged marriage, nothing more." The longest string of lines for Voodoo in a short season as a…

Girls with blowing hair. Julie traipsing onto the practice field. Lyla high in the stands. So distracting! Coach: “I know what’s distractin’ you.” Matt: “You do?”

So fine.

I thought Nick seemed mildly impressed with Dylan's balls and the stay away from my mother threat.

George is lying, too. He doesn't even have a law degree.

Normal George must die.

I just love the way Bates Motel is propagating appreciation of old noir classics. All they have to do is show the Bateses watching something, and we all run out and watch it. Fab.

Well, she was punished for having sex with Riggins initially. She was the town pariah. She practically wore an A on her cheerleader outfit. But that was the storyline, NOT the way her character was shown to viewers. Nevertheless, some viewers hated her.

I've been holding out for Haddie's return. The storyline was okay, but something was profoundly amiss. She seemed reluctant to even be there, resentful, noncommittal. And that may be so, depending on Ramos' relationship to makers and cast. The only parts where she felt like Haddie were when she yelled at Max to get…
