I finally just figured out that he looks a bit like Walton Goggins to me. But I assume they are not related, as that's not how names work.

She kinda is, yeah. I know bluntness is just sort of part of Deaf culture, but we've seen her being kind of mean-spirited and tactless before, like when she laughed at Bay in her early days of learning to sign. Sheesh.

"Surpriiiiise! Family niiiiight!! :D" With every passing week I love Vanessa Marano more and more, and feel bad for wanting to push her into a volcano when she was on Gilmore Girls. I just had a lot of bitterness about that show in those days. And I laughed out loud at Bay and Toby finding an iPod in the vending…

I guess? I mean, he's doing a Moneyball and it's working, but surely many people have won far more in the past, right? Was that Ken dude who won like 100 times considered 'controversial'? Idk, man.

I don't mean to sound like Howard Roark, but…people expect contestants to win this game "politely"? Really? It's about winning money by knowing stuff. Unless he's actively cheating or, like, punching out the other contestants during commercial breaks, I don't at all get why he's controversial. Personally I ain't mad…

I thought it was kind of fun—I mean, it's over-the-top and lurid in that gloriously Gothic way that I kind of adore, but Olsen & Isaac (and Lange) are legitimately good actors who aren't always totally sure how huge or small to play the silliness of it all. (Was that a Sweeney Todd reference in that one dominoes…

I agree that Mr. Eko stole the show, but he and Jon Snow were a rather poor man's Vorenus and Pullo, imo.

Seriously. Way to completely miss the point of the movie. Among other things, it's a comment on "perfect," idealized relationships and how they don't work because humans are flawed. It's…really not that hard to get.

I just feel like the Mary Beth thing is so obvious, and this show is usually good about handling stereotypes and stuff in smart ways. Her first plotline with her brother and PTSD and all that, that was interesting and effective and not related to her size at all—like, I just wish she was a character who had the…

Wow, this sounds like a mess. I was already sort of amused that the guy playing Peter is named Darwin [Shaw] and previously had a (super-awesome) gay sex scene on The Borgias, which I assume TPTB on this series would find offensive in so many ways. But it's not truly exasperating until Glenn Beck weighs in, so I'm…

Ugh. The relationship stuff is really starting to put me off the show, though I really like Tank as a character, and I'm so not a 'if the writers don't ship what I ship then I'm not watching' sort of person. It just seems like such lazy writing to focus entirely on romantic drama, especially the standard…

though if you squint a bit it becomes very hard to distinguish Blake from Gillingham, who both look and sound rather similar.
Oh, thank God someone else said it. Gillingham is the slightly hotter one who was in Weekend and is dating Tatiana Maslany in real life…I think. That's how I tell them apart. But my system could…

I remain convinced that those characters were written as German purely to facilitate the use of the word "Deutschbags." And I'm totally fine with it.

Yesssssss. Yesyesyesyesyes.

I thought she just said "it's nothing, just drama," and then Daphne later said "boyfriend" when telling Regina why she loaned her the car. But I could definitely be wrong.

(Ironically, I totally shipped Bay/Natalie, though I would do an equal amount of screaming if they did a totally abrupt coming-out plot where it didn't fit. Looking at you, Heroes.)

I'm going to totally scream at the Bay/Tank thing—seriously, no one is allowed to just be friends?? If I thought they had an actual plan I might not be so annoyed, but this show has proven that they just throw the teen characters together randomly to see what sticks (remember Daphne being in love with Emmett out of…

I was actually somewhat relieved at the bipolar thing, just because I was expecting a really cringey 'she's just a bad mom/is on drugs because she's so ghetto!' sort of thing. This is at least a little more interesting and less stereotypical…though I side-eyed when Daphne immediately assumed (correctly) that the guy…

I was gonna say precisely this. I don't at all understand that plot now. If it was just meant to temporarily drive a wedge between Daphne and Regina, then it makes sense to give her a temporary injury, but she can't sign ever again?? It's really weird and distracting in scenes when Daphne's signing and speaking to her…

I didn't even understand that line! Am I remembering it wrong, or didn't Daphne just spontaneously decide she was in love with Emmett, after years of being sibling-y best friends, at the precise moment that Bay started dating him? And then promptly forgot about it a few episodes later? The way this show handles teen…
