The only comment he's made about religion thus far was "just because you don't believe in something doesn't mean it isn't true" (in "Sunday Best," I believe it was), implying to me that he'd been raised with belief and sort of lost it in the war, or is now one of those "there's a God but he's incredibly cruel"…

14. Deb, shot, picks up her phone and says: "This is Detective Deborah Morgan, and I've been shot."

Well, I mean, they definitely cast a totally innocent-looking boy-next-door type on purpose. If they'd picked Ezra Miller or someone you'd instantly know he was up to some shady shit, but it's his casual, friendly demeanor that makes his actions all the more shocking.

So basically the entire Genoa plot was just a way for our intrepid reporters/producers to endure extreme self-doubt and major flak from the haters, only to conclude that they really are that great and noble? Argh. I actually liked some of the early Genoa stuff since it was nice to see them make a complicated,…

I involuntarily did what I can only describe as a happy meerkat. And then I was extremely annoyed at myself for it. But they're probably the least-insufferable characters, so fine, throw 'em together.

Yeah, exactly. There is just no other way to define it.

Angela, Louise and Billie were all definitely fridged [killed for the purpose of advancing male characters' stories], but I wouldn't say that was the case here. It was grim, to be sure, but I think the context matters.

For one beautiful second I was like 'phew, at least they didn't have him disappear into a bright white light'…and then they dramatically panned back to the empty spot where he'd just been with actual harp sounds and I just died a little bit more inside.

When they were at her funeral and Matthews said "she was a good woman" or whatever the line was, I asked "BUT DOES SHE GET A BENCH?" out loud. I love how everyone's basically forgotten Maria by this point.

My deep and abiding love for all things Harrow remains deep and abiding. Dare I hope she might come back to Atlantic City with him when he (presumably) heads back…?

That was when I knew for sure that he was a goner. They wouldn't waste a precious "fuck" on a less-than-huge moment.

It's not terribly applicable in real life, but "oh, fuck off, ya big lamp!" got big laughs both times I saw The World's End.

Weirdly, my instinctive first thought was Joan Cusack in In & Out: "FUCK BARBRA STREISAND! AND YOU!"

I feel like the Cornetto Trilogy's use of profanity deserves its own entry. "Murder, murder, murder! CHANGE THE FUCKING RECORD! *clink* …Thank you, Andy."

"GET FUCKED, FOUR EYES!" is extremely quotable.

Yeah, I agree. (That comes later.) She was obviously into Jess, but I think she genuinely cared for Dean too and was naive enough to think she could have it both ways.

That's true; I guess the problem is that Rory (and Paris and kind of Lane) all act way older than their ages in many ways, so Dean acting like a normal teenager sort stands out in a weird glaring way. Sometimes this show tries to have it both ways—normal high school drama and also absurdly elevated precocious…

I've probably yelled about this in past recaps (and will surely do so in future), but holy hell, that breakup was unspeakably cruel. Yes, she'd been flirting a lot with Jess and wasn't being a very good girlfriend to Dean at all, but at NO point did Dean ever try talking to her about it in a reasonable manner. He…

I'm sure this has been mentioned somewhere, and at this point there's no point in even trying to make sense of it, but has it dawned on any of these writers that Hannah…actually isn't a serial killer? Maybe my definition's* wrong, but she doesn't have a set M.O. and a pattern, as Dexter does (or did, at least). She's…

I just loved that he was covered with a totally unrealistic amount of blood…on this, a show about a blood-spatter analyst. But, I mean, who knows. Science is mysterious, man.
