[MILD SPOILERS] Re: her son—the most hair-raising line in the film is when Walt (I think) asks if she's a parent, and she stammers "not precisely" before he interrupts. Uhh, what?? I was sure that was going to be more of a plot point, but no.

HELLO, WHORE.

But he did say "civilian fuck-monkey" this season and it was amazing.

Man, I am still so mad about that. You don't bring on someone that awesome just to have them immediately die. I'm still hanging on to the fan theory that she was Naomi's girlfriend or whatever.

Oh, sweet gray-eyed Athena, PLEASE let them do something aggressively ridiculous with this concept on The Newsroom next season. Will should rant for five minutes about lazy writers stealing comedy bits and drop the names of classic comedians no one's ever heard of, hopefully recycling lines from Studio 60 whilst doing

Yep, agreed with the other comments, nothing is worse than the Dexter finale. Watching TV is quite literally my job and that holds the title of Actually The Worst Ever.

I thought she was going to legit storm up there during the ceremony and carve it in with a knife or something, so the Sharpie thing was remarkably restrained, in my view.

Not gonna lie, I've read that finale review about ten times so far just to cackle with glee, Amy Poehler-style, at his completely righteous rage. I totally agree with every word, and it's lovely to have someone else say it.

His hair and annoyed drawl of "smooooooothies" [remember the deadly peanut smoothies from the end of S1?] was the only thing keeping me watching. And I do not regret that.

My favorite detail of that horrorshow is that the driver is never mentioned. Like, there seems to be this weirdly Zen attitude of "it was a totally random accident, sometimes cars just hurtle down streets on their own and take out annoyingly-coiffed musicians! LIFE IS UNPREDICTABLE THAT WAY." I…I just…

And he was Hercules. Shit's classic.

I'm in severe Borgias withdrawal, so I will watch this no matter how good or bad it is. (I was highly offended to see the "introducing" in front of Holly's name in that AMC Theatres sneak peek trailer thing. Like, she's the scandal of Italy; how very dare you.)

I definitely thought it'd be someone we'd met before, like Lucifer or maybe even God—are we EVER going to get an explanation of that whole Chuck-is-a-prophet-j/k-he's-maybe-God thing?!

Oh, she'll be back, mark my words. Whether Kevin is resurrected or not (let's face it, that happens a lot on this show, though it basically never works out well), I'm quite sure she's gonna show up and kick an ungodly amount of ass. And I'm looking forward to it.

Now I want Anne Hathaway to host SNL again purely so they can do that exact scene. "She's having one of her jazz freakouts!"

I know, right? I was actively rolling my eyes at the dramatic cello in that scene (and usually everything makes me cry—see last week's Boardwalk for example) because really, we're actually supposed to think they killed the baby? An annoying kid, sure, but not the main character's damn baby.

NO SPACE IS SAFE FROM HER MUMBLING AND RIDICULOUSLY-IN-NEED-OF-A-SCRUNCHIE HAIR

This is one of those movies where I liked it but can't defend it at all. It was just so gleefully odd. It was like Hunter S. Thompson and Run Lola Run had a weird baby. In Budapest. Oh, maybe I just really, really like Mads.

They're not calling you the new George Epstein, you know.

I've only seen the pilot (and that was for work), but you're making me want to watch the rest, not gonna lie. Anything that makes a reviewer descend into incoherent Angrish has got to be delightful.
